Redirecting ONLY logged in, non-administrators for a specific page in Wordpress/Woocommerce?

Hi there,

I run an online store, www.vapefalcon.com.

I am trying to redirect already logged in users from page A, if they attempt to view it, to page B.

In other words, I don't want already logged in users to see page A, but instead, page B.

However, I want non-logged in users to be able to access page A if they wish.

The site runs on WordPress and WooCommerce.

Any suggestions? I've tried searching Google for various scripts and plugins, but no dice. My programming skills are very limited thus far.

Thanks!

Daniel

Something like this in your functions.php:

<?php
function redirect_customers()
{
    if ( is_page('redirect-from') && is_user_logged_in() && ! current_user_can('publish_posts') ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url( '/redirect-to/' ) );
        exit();
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_customers' );
?>

You might want to change 'publish_posts' to one of WooCommerce's capabilities, but it may not matter.

You also may need to change is_page() depending on the nature of where you're redirecting from - you may need to use a different conditional tag. Post back if you need more help.

Thanks so much!

The snippet you provided worked.

I only needed to include the page id for ( is_page( PAGEID HERE ) instead of the URL. Using the URL didn't seem to work.

Thanks again. Cheers!
