My site is Sage11 and Woocommerce. It needs to ‘require’ users to be logged in, so I’m thinking that the best solution would be for me to just redirect any non-logged-in users to `my-account` which is part of Woo, that way I can control all the templating for the various login/register/forgotten password pages.

How can I achieve this with Sage11? Would I need to use routing and set up some middleware to check if user is logged in?

Much appreciated

Have you considered the `template_redirect` hook?

Yes that works… just dropping my function in here for my own future reference :wink:

```
function redirect_not_logged_in()
{
    if(is_login()){
        return;
    }
    if (! is_user_logged_in() && !is_page(wc_get_page_id('myaccount'))) {
        $url = add_query_arg(
            'redirect_to',
            $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],
            site_url('/my-account/') // your my account url
        );
        wp_redirect(site_url($url));
        exit;
    }
}
add_action('template_redirect', '\App\redirect_not_logged_in');
```

No need to call `site_url()` twice :wink:

```
wp_redirect($url); // Remove the extra site_url() wrapper
```
