Hi,

I need to redirect user to home page on condition like this

[wpv-conditional evaluate="false" if="('[wpv-current-user info='id']' ne  '')"]

I tried with below code:-

[wpv-conditional evaluate="false" if="('[wpv-current-user info='id']' ne  '')"]
[direct_to_home]
 [/wpv-conditional]

and code in function.php

function make_redirect_to_home() {
     do_action('redirect_home_condi');
}
add_shortcode( 'direct_to_home', 'make_redirect_to_home');
 
add_action('redirect_home_condi', 'func_to_redirect');
function func_to_redirect() {
	
	if ( is_user_logged_in() ) 
	{ } else {
		wp_redirect( 'home_page_url');
        exit(); 
		}     
}

But this giving me this error "redirected you too many times", or "not redirect properly".

I also tried with this :-

ob_clean();
$url = get_home_url() ;
wp_redirect($url);
exit();

In else condition.

Please help to solve this, and how to make a conditional redirect?

You should redirect before rendering the page begins, so a custom shortcode on the page is too late.

You need a more direct approach, like this:

function tssupp_redirect() {

	if ( !is_user_logged_in() && is_page('inaccessible') ) {
		wp_redirect(home_url());
		exit;
	}

}
add_action('template_redirect', 'tssupp_redirect');

Here I am preventing guest users from seeing a page with a slug of 'inaccessible', but you can pass a page ID (or an array of page IDs or page slugs). That's for static pages. For other URLs you might need a different conditional tag to identify the current page: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/conditional-tags/

Thank you Nigel,

I made the changes as you suggested. I need it for a woocommerce product, so i create the code like this:-

add_action('redirect_home_condi', 'func_to_redirect');
function func_to_redirect() {
	
	if ( !is_user_logged_in() && is_product() ) {
		echo "Redirect to Home.";
        wp_redirect(home_url());
        exit();
    }    
}

But its still not working, to check code i echo something and "Redirect to Home." is showing but redirection in not working.
Please help to correct this.

You haven't changed your code to match mine. You need to use the template_redirect hook.

If you want this for single product pages you can use the conditional tag is_singular (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_singular/).

function tssupp_redirect() {
 
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() && is_singular('product') ) {
        wp_redirect(home_url());
        exit;
    }
 
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'tssupp_redirect');
