Session Timeout: Clients redirected to backend-login

    Hello,

    we are currently working on B2B-access to our Online Shop for our retailers (WooCommerce). So far, we just accepted orders via our guest-access, so there was no need to register for our customers.

    We are right now in the testing phase. We set up that a session is expired after 60 mins. While testing, we realized that if a session expires, our clients as well are logged out and are directly redirected to the backend-login page (our admin/ developers login). However they should stay in the frontend and should never see or know our URL to our backend login.

    Is there any possibility to redirect logged-in customers to another page?

    Many thanks for your help!

    Best regards
    Pascal

    To automatically redirect users to your WordPress website’s home page after they have logged out, then copy and paste the code below at the end of your WordPress theme functions.php file.

    //redirect users to homepage after logging out

    add_action(‘wp_logout’,’redirect_to_homepage_after_logout’);

    function redirect_to_homepage_after_logout(){
    wp_safe_redirect( home_url() );
    exit;
    }

    Thank you for the code @vupdraft!

    I have pasted the code into the functions.php of our child theme. Unfortunately, it did not work and the customers are still redirected to the backend-login-page. Do you have any idea what could be the problem? Is there any other way to solve this issue?

    edit: Maybe the problem is that the clients do not intentionally “log out”, since it is a session timeout instead.
