About the Code Recipe
The code hooks into “template_redirect” which is called just before any output is sent to the browser.
The code defines $okay_pages and adds some of the appropriate PMPro pages to the array. You can add other post ids and slugs here, e.g. to allow people to access your contact page or about page when signed out.
The code then checks if the user is logged out and if so redirects to the login page. If the user is logged in and not a member, they are redirected to the homepage.
As usual, add this code to functions.php in your active theme.
