Also, is there a way to direct all logins (including first time users) to the main pages instead of the dashboard?
I tried to utilize your scripts to just redirect to the main page, but there appears to be a conflict with Wordfence – see error (with lines and URLs parsed out):
Warning: parse_url(/http://wwww.XXXXXXXXX.com) [function.parse-url]: Unable to parse URL in /home/content/XXXXXX/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/vendor/wordfence/wf-waf/src/lib/request.php on line XXX
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/XXXXX/html/wp-content/plugins/wordfence/vendor/wordfence/wf-waf/src/lib/request.php:307) in /home/content/XXXXX/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line XXXX
Does this still allow for public feeds (RSS) to be pulled through the login barrier?
By default, no – but you could try whitelisting the RSS feed URLs. Checkout this thread for some possible advice:

Yes, checkout the code example on this thread:

I can’t tell why the Wordfence plugin gave you that warning message – I’d need access to your site to troubleshoot the issue; or you could try asking their support forum.
For what it’s worth, that Wordfence warning message you got seems to be a known bug in their plugin. Checkout the following thread on their support forum about a similar issue:

Thanks Kevin. I was able to get the redirect to work correctly, but the RSS whitelist is still a no go. With your plugin deactivated, the RSS feed works fine. I can whitelist a specific page of the site using your whitelist code just fine. I cannot seem to whitelist the rss feed page no matter what kind of iteration of explicit and non-explicit references I put in the whitelist. Any other ideas? My rss feed is simply http://sitename.com/feed/rss/ so its nothing fancy and I have turned off all other plugins but yours so no conflicts there.
Any other ideas?
Sorry, but those were all my ideas for whitelisting the RSS feed URL(s); just keep trying different combinations until you find one that works for you.
Thanks and good luck!
