Can you help with my custom function? Trying to do a redirect, but having a prob

    I paid someone to create create the a function using the available lifter functions. What I needed was if a user tries to access a lesson they are not enrolled in, to redirect them. The function was working great, but under further inspection, I have found one problem.

    The function is also doing this redirect when simply trying to view a course page.

    Here is the function
    add_filter( ‘lifterlms_membership_restricted_message’, function( $msg ) {
    header (“location:/my-courses/”);
    }, 10, 1 );

    add_filter( ‘lifterlms_lesson_enrollment_restricted_message’, function( $msg ) {
    header (“location:/my-courses/”);
    }, 10, 1 );

    I guess because the course is part of a membership, the membership restriction is kicking in even through they should still be able to view the course info.

    I need this to work this way for a new template I am releasing for free for everyone. You can see kinda what I am doing here: https://www.wpcrafter.com/create-online-course-membership-website/

  • @wpcrafter,

    I think something along the lines of the following will work for you.

    Untested, use at your own risk:

    <?php

if ( ! llms_is_user_enrolled( get_current_user_id(), get_the_ID() ) ) {

  wp_redirect( 'https://lifterlms.com' );
  exit;

}

    In short, you’re not wrong that the snippet provided would not work correctly, but you are wrong about why it’s not working :-p

    Simplest method is to check enrollment using our llms_is_user_enrolled() function which will work for courses, lessons, or memberships. It’ll figure out the right stuff and cascade up for you.

    Hope that helps,

    Wow, thanks. I did end up getting it to work properly by asking a Facebook friend that owed me a favor. I had the idea of making it only run on the lesson CPT, so that is how he wrote it up.

    The template is already getting traction with no promotion. When you or Chris get a moment, please contact me to see what I am working on and how it has the potential to help expose LifterLMS to a larger audience.

    Great to hear. As much as I would like to I have very little time to follow up on projects outside of doing support and developing new features / fixing bugs.

    If you’d like to share your progress with Chris, I know he’d love to hear it (and has the time to do so) please fill out our contact form at https://lifterlms.com/contact and he’ll get notified.

    Take care,

    Ha thats funny, I usually have plugin and theme developers hunting me down to help promote them to my audience, now its the other way around. Oh the irony ??
