   posted here 'cause well you have no other section for support.

   my goal was to create a 'semi-easy' way for someone to click a link to go to their profile or the login page depending on if they were logged in already.

   my site is wordpress + bbpress fully integrated. I achieved this by pointing a link to a new php file I made, including:
   <?php
if (bb_is_user_logged_in == true) {
Header ("Location: /forum/profile.php");
} else {
Header ("Location: /forum/bb-login.php");
}
?>

   it works except when logged out, then it still tries to send you to profile.php ??

   It's kinda messy to do it via redirects in the header because the browser may cache that page result.

   It may be why you are experiencing the redirect to profile even when you are logged it (it's in the browser cache).

   If you are giving them a link to click, just make the href part dynamic.

   this is just an example and not correct/tested code:
   

   <a href="<?php echo (bb_is_user_logged_in()) ? "/forum/profile.php" : "/forum/bb-login.php"; ?>">Profile</a>
