Brute force and redirect non-logged in users

  • Hi there,

    I would like to lock the frontend and redirect non-logged in users to the login url. The thing is that there is probably a redirect conflict, when the captcha is enabled and the user can never reach the normal wp-login.php, despite the successful captchas. Here is the redirect: 

    add_action( 'template_redirect', 'boom_unlogged_users' );

function boom_unlogged_users() {
   if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
     wp_safe_redirect( wp_login_url() );
     die;
   }
}

    I would appreciate any solution to overcome this.

    Unfortunately, it can’t work. The brute force protection works before WordPress, hence right after the captcha, the user is sent to the login page and you’ll get a loop. You would need to disable the brute-force protection and simply use a captcha plugin instead, which will load after WordPress.

    OK, understandable!
    Thanks for the quick response.
