Redirect visitors to subdomain / logged in users to main domain WordPress
- SOLVED
Hi everyone,
I want to redirect all visitors except logged in users to a sub-domain (temporary site), while logged in users are directed to the main domain (site under construction to be launched).
I tried inserting a condition in wp-blog-header.php
<?php
/**
* Loads the WordPress environment and template.
*
* @package WordPress
*/
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
if ( !isset($wp_did_header) ) {
$wp_did_header = true;
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );
wp();
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php' );
}
}
else {
wp_redirect('http://evenement.tamtamsoie.net/', 302);
exit;
}
?>
but i get the following error : "call to undefined function".
Not being a PHP (or WP) pro i guessed that i could not call the is_user_logged_in function before WP is loaded ... But can't figure out where to insert my condition.
My question : i could i achieve conditional redirection on visitor status?
Thx

Hello
Do not hack the WP core !!
Paste this code into a plugin file into your plugins folder :
[[LINK href="http://pastebin.com/wsdvQ31q"]]http://pastebin.com/wsdvQ31q[[/LINK]]
Example <em>/wp-content/plugins/tempo-redirection/file.php</em>
See you !
ps : Francisco, Robin, why did you let her hacking the WP core !? Be expert please...
annabelR comments:
Thx Julio.
You're right, i guess that i shouldn't even try messing with WP core code : - )
Alas, the pastebin link you posted is broken.
But I'll try Ivaylo's plugin approach and will let you all know of the outcome.
Cheers,

Sorry, this is the correct (new) pastebinn plugin code i've made for you.
http://pastebin.com/aiQFzUwD
If you use a plugin system, please bear with me.
annabelR comments:
Thx Julio : yours and Ivaylo's suggestions were very similar... but i couldn't get the plugin approach right : - (
So i opted for inserting the snippet in my theme's functions.php file, instead.
It's doing the trick.
Again : many thx.
Cheers
Ivaylo Draganov answers:
Hello,
you should make the detection and redirections once WP has been loaded. No core hacking is neither necessary, nor desired. So, it's best to make a plugin for that. It is as simple as using this code:
<?php
/**
* Plugin Name: My Redirection
* Description: Redirect not logged in users
*/
add_action( 'get_header', 'wpq_my_redirection' );
function wpq_my_redirection() {
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_redirect( 'http://evenement.tamtamsoie.net/', 302 );
}
}
You can place it in a new file under <em>wp-content/plugins</em> or <em>wp-content/mu-plugins</em> or just paste it in your <em>functions.php</em>.

Hi Ivaylo,
Here's what i've done : i inserted the code you suggested in my theme's functions.php...
And... all is working fine : THX!
PS : the plugin method didn't work out (php file named myredirection.php placed at the root of WP plugins directory or in a sub-directory named my-redirection).
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil answers:
Hi Annabel,
Where are you calling this function?
See this: "wp_redirect() is located in wp-includes/pluggable.php".
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
You can use a "require_once('wp-includes/pluggable.php')" for example.
Maybe you can use a plugin like this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/peters-login-redirect/
If need more help tell me.

Hi Xavier,
So far i'm calling it in the wp-blog-header.php.
I used the require_once and rewrote my condition using Robin suggestion : !is_user_logged_in
As follow
<?php
/**
* Loads the WordPress environment and template.
*
* @package WordPress
*/
require_once('wp-includes/pluggable.php');
if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
wp_redirect('http://evenement.tamtamsoie.net/', 302);
exit;
} else {
if ( !isset($wp_did_header) ) {
$wp_did_header = true;
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );
wp();
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/template-loader.php' );
}
}
?>
Only this time i get the following error message :
<blockquote>Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_ssl() in /public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 604</blockquote>
Oh... the plugin you suggest won't do the trick (i thought so but gave it a try nonetheless), i'm looking for a solution to apply both prior to login (all other visitors) and after
Way out of my league... i am
: - (
Thx for your help.

Hi Isabel,
As Julio says, it's better to not hack se WP-Core. Sorry but I have answer so fast and I was thinking only in PHP and not in WP + PHP when I have seen the error.
I recommend you what Ivaylo or Gabriel says.
If you use Ivaylo option, remember:
1. Create the directory in /wp-content/plugins/ -> my-redirection
2. Create a file my-redirection.php
3. Paste the Ivaylo's code
4. Log in admin
5. Go to plugins
6. Activate it and that's all
If any doubt, ask.

please ignore my previous answer
you do not have to write any code to your theme files. and that will be good.
try using this plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/peters-login-redirect/
Gabriel Reguly answers:
Hi annabelR,
This is a different approach, but might be easier as you will not need to create a plugin or edit WordPress files.
Use this plugin [[LINK href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simplesplash/"]]http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simplesplash/[[/LINK]]
And within your splash.php (you need to create this file at your theme directory) you can test for logged in and do your redirection.
<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
wp_redirect('http://tamtamsoie.net/', 302); // main site
} else {
wp_redirect('http://evenement.tamtamsoie.net/', 302); // subdomain
}
?>
Be aware that you could just show your message right at splash page, no need for a subdomain.
Regards,
Gabriel
