Hi there,

I'm trying to figure out how to redirect users if they are already logged in.

For example, i want to create a landing home page to gather users which is hidden to logged in users. If they're are already logged in, how can I redirect them to another page?

Hi Kyle

That's not really a Toolset question.

You need to add a PHP snippet (which you can add at Toolset > Settings > Custom Code) that checks if the current page is the one you want to target, checks if there is a logged-in user, and if so performs a redirect.

The earliest hook you should use to add your code is the 'wp' hook (https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp).

You can test the current page with is_page() (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_page/)

You can test if there is a logged-in user with is_user_logged_in() (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_user_logged_in/)

You can use wp_redirect to redirect to another page (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_redirect/).
