Auto Redirect Non Logged-in Users (Protect Whole Site)

[it’s time]

Hello,

I did add the following PHP code to my theme’s functions.php file:

/*** Auto redirect a user who isn’t logged into the site ***/
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘swpm_auto_redirect_non_members’ );
function swpm_auto_redirect_non_members() {
if( !SwpmMemberUtils::is_member_logged_in() && !is_page( array( ‘membership-login’, ‘membership-join’ )) ) {
wp_redirect( ‘ https://portal.reset4success.biz/program/login/’ );
exit;
}
}
But I am getting an error message; unable to communicate back with site to check for fatal erroer, so the php change was reverted

Can you give me a tip how to fix this?

Thanks a lot.

But I am getting an error message; unable to communicate back with site to check for fatal erroer, so the php change was reverted

Was that the EXACT message?

hallo, well there was a second sentence. Second sentence was, “you will need to upload your php file change by some other means, such as by using SFTP”

I tried to do that with Filezilla, but my whole website was not reachable anymore.

…my whole website was not reachable anymore.

You might have “bigger problems” than you think. Please contact your hosting provider to determine why you can’t access your site anymore.

thanks for your quick reply. Well, I changed it back to the original and then it was ok again. I could enter my website again.
Maybe I did paste the text in the wrong place?
where should it be added exactly?

I’m going to respectfully suggest that you keep careful notes on EVERYTHING you do, to your site. Many problems are “self inflicted,” through carelessness.

1. Do you still receive the error message?

2. Are you a “real” PHP programmer?

hello,

I am not a php programmer, but I track each step…. the only way to learn… My website is working again now. I just can’t stand that I cannot fix this last thing myself. Meanwhile, I use a wp plugin Buddypress Members only, but I thought it was not 100% stable. If you have any advice where I can add the text exactly in the theme’s functions.php file I would be very happy.
thanks
