Redirect from Events Calendar page not working (part 2)

Hi @dbacksbst,

Thanks for opening this thread!

We do have this Knowledgebase article on how to hide the calendar from logged-out users.

Could you please try that one first and see if it works?

Regards,
Jean

Hello Jean,

I tried your suggestion, and it looks like the filter tribe_events_pre_get_posts is never called when the events calendar page is loaded (https://mydomain.com/events/month), so the redirect function is not triggered.

I also tried the suggested “Additional precaution” which uses the posts_where filter, which did hide all the events from the calendar, but the calendar page itself still loaded.

Is there a different filter you could suggest?

Thanks,
Marie

@dbacksbst If you’re using V6 of The Events Calendar, then?tribe_events_pre_get_posts will never run since that’s the v1 hook.

In the meantime, you could?use?pre_get_posts?with a high priority (like 100 – to be sure we’ve already modified it) – it also passes the query.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Darian,

I just tried using pre_get_posts with priority 100, but the result is still the same. As an aside, all of my other pages were (and still are) redirecting properly before any changes.

Hi @dbacksbst

Thanks for your message.

Could you provide the snippet code you’re using and the version of the following? This will help me understand how your system is set up.

• PHP
• WordPress
• The Events Calendar
• Theme

• PHP: 7.4
• WordPress: 6.1.1
• The Events Calendar:
  • TEC: 6.0.6.2
  • TEC Pro: 6.0.5.1
  • TEC Filter Bar: 5.4.1
• Theme: Custom

Code:

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'my_restrict_events', 100);
function my_restrict_events($query) {
  if (!$query->is_main_query() || !$query->get('eventDisplay')) {
    return;
  }

  // The result is the same even if this block is commented out.
  $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
  if (is_user_allowed($current_user)) {
    return;
  }  

  // Redirect!
  wp_safe_redirect('not-authorized');
  exit;
}

Hi @dbacksbst

It seems the redirect is not working.

Is ‘not-authorized’ a slug of a page? If so, could you replace the following

// Redirect!
wp_safe_redirect('not-authorized');

to

// Redirect!
$url = get_permalink( get_page_by_path( 'not-authorized' ) );
header('Location: '.$url);

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Darian,

Your suggestion fixed the issue, thanks! However, 'not-authorized' is a page slug, and I use it in redirects elsewhere without issue, so I am still confused about why it doesn’t work here. Do you have an explanation?

Hi @dbacksbst

Thanks for your response.

I am not sure as well. The only thing I found with the snippet is that the redirect was not working. That is why I use an alternative way to redirect the user.

Please let me know if you have further questions or concerns.
