I am trying to give access of the specific page just for my subscriber user role, if someone else with other then subscriber role or non role user want to access to this page redirect them to a custom login page, I tried with below snippet but I think something is wrong with it, can you please help me to fix this
Example : Restrict access to specific pages
add_action( 'template_redirect', function() {
// Get global post
global $post;
// Prevent access to page with ID 1052
$page_id = 1052;
if ( is_page() && ( $post->post_parent == $page_id || is_page( $page_id ) ) ) {
// Set redirect to true by default
$redirect = true;
// If logged in do not redirect
// You can/should place additional checks here based on user roles or user meta
if ( current_user_can( 'subscriber' ) || !is_user_logged_in()) {
$redirect = false;
}
// Redirect people without access to login page
if ( $redirect ) {
wp_redirect( get_site_url().'/custom-url-login' ); exit;
}
}
} );

Wouldn’t this do what you asked for?
You could refactor your code like this:
This answer has been tested and works fine!
First of all you must need to check user is logged-in or not, If user is not logged-in then you need to redirect user to login page, After to login you need to apply code code then it will work fine.
WordPress Admin Dashboard > Appearance > Theme File Editor > Theme Functions functions.php
Edit code by adding to the bottom:
Then change your chosen Pages / Posts from Public to Private visibility:
Pages > All Pages > Page > Quick Edit > Private (check box)
You can do a redirection, replace
siteurl
at the bottom of functions.php using:or URL redirection to the "page only for subscribers" e.g:
https://WordPress.com/wp-login.php?user_id=3&redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.com%2Fabout%2F#top
