Streamlined User Access Control for WordPress
The 'Redirect to login if not logged in' plugin is designed to enhance security by ensuring that users are redirected to the login page when they attempt to access content without being logged in. This functionality applies universally across all posts, pages, and archives, making it a straightforward solution for managing user access. Advanced users benefit from a customizable filter that allows for specific redirection conditions, enabling them to exclude certain views from the redirect process.
Utilizing this plugin is simple, as it requires minimal setup. Users can easily implement the override filter by adding code snippets to their theme's functions.php file or through a dedicated file in the mu-plugins directory. The plugin is particularly beneficial for sites that require controlled access without the complexity of a full membership plugin. However, users should be cautious when applying multiple filters to prevent unexpected behavior.
