Hi Guys/Gals

I am looking to only display pages if users are logged into BBPress. I am aware that i can set the visibility of a page to be password protected however this is an additional step that could be avoided.

I have noticed there is a function bb_is_user_logged_in() that i could utilise however i dont know where i should add the code and indeed if it needs to go in the theme or child theme.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks and have a nice day

is that display forum pages or any pages?

should do the trick

You can also use this plugin too, but works best without BuddyPress installed.

Thanks guys, I had actually found a workaround, i copied page.php and renamed it to be page-slug.php and put an if statement at the beginning as below

if ( !is_user_logged_in() ){
    header("Location: http:homepage");
}else{
    // Show content
    the_content();

now comes the question, which method is better? in terms of maintenance going forward i mean

I’d go with what you did, but put it in a child theme. That way it will be unaffected by changes to plugins or themes.
