Answer 1

What you want it to check if the user is not currently trying to login or register, if not redirect them to whatever page you'd like.

if ( !is_user_logged_in() && !is_page( 'login' ) && ! is_page('register') ) {
   //redirect user, create account with them, do a hoola-hoop
}

Be sure to place this code in your page file before get_header();

Answer 2

There are a lot of different ways to do this based on what your ultimate goal is (use WP login page, a custom login page, etc...). You can try adding this to your theme's functions.php file:

if ( ( is_single() || is_front_page() || is_page() || is_archive() || is_tax() )
    && ! is_page( 'login' ) && ! is_page('register') && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
    auth_redirect(); 
}

Or you can use the plugin, Force Login

UPDATE

Theoretically, you can probably just use this, just haven't tested...

if( ! is_page('login') && ! is_page('register') && ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
    auth_redirect(); 
}

Answer 3

Just use this wordpress plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/restrict-user-access/ to control who can/ can't access your website.

You may get tons of similar plugins if you googled it.

Take a look here

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-auth_redirect-to-specific-page

<?php
if( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
    wp_redirect('http://somepagehere');
    exit;
}
?>

You can also add this to your functions.php file instead of what I said before:

function admin_redirect() {
if ( !is_user_logged_in()) {
   wp_redirect( home_url('/{custom page goes here}/') );
   exit;
}
}
add_action('get_header', 'admin_redirect');
