auth_redirect() WordPress Function

The auth_redirect() function is used to redirect a user to the login page if they are not logged in. This is useful for protecting pages that are only meant for logged in users.

auth_redirect() #

Checks if a user is logged in, if not it redirects them to the login page.


Description

When this code is called from a page, it checks to see if the user viewing the page is logged in. If the user is not logged in, they are redirected to the login page. The user is redirected in such a way that, upon logging in, they will be sent directly to the page they were originally trying to access.
