Create a WordPress Plugin with ChatGPT part 2

Write a WordPress plugin that allows you to select an alternate home page based on user role
Ben
To create a WordPress plugin that allows you to select an alternate home page based on user role, you would need to do the following:

1. Create a new WordPress plugin by creating a new folder in the wp-content/plugins directory and creating a .php file with the plugin’s name.
2. In the main plugin file, create a function that checks the current user’s role and returns the appropriate home page.
3. In the main plugin file, hook this function into the template_redirect action hook so that it is executed whenever a user visits the site.
4. In the main plugin file, create a settings page for the plugin where the admin can select the alternate home page for each user role.
5. Save the selected home page as a plugin option using the update_option function.
6. Use the get_option function to retrieve the selected home page for the current user’s role and use the wp_redirect function to redirect the user to the selected home page.

Here is an example of what the main plugin file could look like:

<?php
/*
* Plugin Name: Alternate Home Page by User Role
* Description: Allows you to select an alternate home page for each user role.
* Version: 1.0
* Author: John Doe
* Author URI: https://example.com

function ahp_template_redirect() {
    // Get the current user's role
    $user = wp_get_current_user();
    $user_role = $user->roles[0];

    // Get the selected home page for the user's role
    $home_page = get_option('ahp_home_page_' . $user_role);

    // If a home page is selected, redirect the user to it
    if (!empty($home_page)) {
        wp_redirect(get_permalink($home_page));
        exit;
    }
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'ahp_template_redirect');

function ahp_settings_page() {
    // Check if the user has the proper permissions to access the settings page
    if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
        wp_die(__('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.'));
    }

    // Get all available user roles
    global $wp_roles;
    $roles = $wp_roles->get_names();

    // Check if the form has been submitted
    if (isset($_POST['ahp_submit'])) {
        // Save the selected home page for each user role
        foreach ($roles as $role_value => $role_name) {
            $home_page = sanitize_text_field($_POST['ahp_home_page_' . $role_value]);
            update_option('ahp_home_page_' . $role_value, $home_page);
        }
    }

    // Display the settings form
    ?>
    <div class="wrap">

                                 'selected' => $home_page,
                                 'name' => 'ahp_home_page_' . $role_value,
                                 'show_option_none' => __('- None -'),
                             ));
