I have a template where I only want "Members" to be able to access. If a user that is not part of the "Members" group tries to access that page, I want it to redirect to a sign-up/index
Here is what I did in the templates
However, my problem is that when I tried accessing this certain template as "Guest", I only see a blank page. I am not redirected to sign-in/index.
Am I missing something here?
When you use template access restrictions, EE doesn't do a browser redirect to your no-access template (sign-in/index)--it just displays that template in-place.
For example, if you browse to /members-only in your browser and that's a template with the access restriction, EE will display the sign-in/index template at the /members-only URL.
So, first of all, make sure that you see what you want when you browse to /sign-in in your browser -- make sure that's not blank. Also be sure that you don't have any conflicting template access restrictions on sign-in/index!
Then, if that's OK, check that your code in sign-in/index can adapt to the different URLs where it will be displayed.
Does any of that help?
{exp:ifelse parse="inward"} {if logged_out}{exp:http_header status="301" location="/register/login" terminate="yes"}{if:else}... Or, you can use the EE Template Access Restrictions, and then have EE point to an "unauthorized" page that's just a redirect to your sign-in page, e.g., {redirect="sign-in/index"}.
