Different static front page for logged in and logged out users

You could use a Plugin and show different content on your front page depending on if a user is logged in or not using a shortcode:

e.g. https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/restrict-content/installation/

Excellent plugin called Peter’s Login Redirect. I’ve used it. Beautiful!

Hey guys thanks for the ideas. I ended up opting to programmatically set the front page to something different for logged in users. e.g.

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
    $page = get_page_by_title( 'contact us' );
    update_option( 'page_on_front', $page->ID );
    update_option( 'show_on_front', 'page' );
} else {
    // different front page...
}

Hmmm… I might use this for easy redirection for multiple user roles, without the bloat. Nice snip.

Cheers

@henry…I’ve been trying to create a different front page for logged in users. Where did you add that code in order to get it to work?

@producist… As long as it runs before the site loads the code could be placed anywhere – for example in your theme’s functions.php. Better still, write a simple plugin to do it

function switch_homepage() {
...insert Henry's code here...
}
add_action( 'init', 'switch_homepage' );

Once the init hook runs the user should already be authenticated.
