 The `auth_redirect()` documentation states:

 "Checks if a user is logged in, if not it redirects them to the login
 page."
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/auth_redirect/]

 However, unless a call to `auth_redirect()` is wrapped inside a
 `is_user_logged_in()` check, then it always sends people to the login page
 (even if a user is already logged in).

 I don't know if the documentation is incorrect or if there is a bug in the
 code.

 To reproduce, all you need to do is something like this:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_action( 'wp', function() {
         if ( is_page( 2 ) ) {
                 auth_redirect();
         }
 } );
 }}}
