Hello, Is it possible to auto login after registration?

[Pie Register]

Hello,

I am afraid at the moment it’s not possible perhaps we will add this
feature in our future releases.

Thanks

I agree that this is a needed feature. Many of my users – most not very used to on-line registrations – are completely flummoxed by having to login after registering. Auto login would be the expected UX behavior.

On the other hand, is there a hook that might be useful to accomplish this???
Thanks.

I was just able to get automatic login by using the user_registration hook.
/* ——————————————————————-
Automatically login a user who has just registered. Pie-Register
does not currently support automatic login.
——————————————————————*/
function auto_login_new_user( $user_id ) {
$_SESSION[‘auto’] = $_POST;
wp_set_current_user($user_id);
wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id);
// wp_safe_redirect( home_url() ); OR…
wp_safe_redirect( home_url(‘/your-page/’) );
exit;
}
add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘auto_login_new_user’ );

Hope this helpful to anyone looking for a solution. Cheers.

Hi Mary, where do you put that hook? in index? or in all pages?

Thanks in advance

Hi. I’m sorry to have to report that the hook does not work in one important respect. The registration function no longer add the first and last name of the registrant to the usermeta table. So, my form that should initialize the first name to [first_name} and last_name to [last_name] are blank. These are the only usermeta fields in my registration, but I also note that description, which I do not use, is not initialized. All the other standard usermeta fields are set.

I’ve tried setting lower and higher priorities, to no avail. I would certainly appreciate it if someone could suggest why this data is not being stored.

Fernando, the hook is placed in functions.php. However, I would not suggest using it until this is cleared up.

Removing the exit statement appears to fix things although now I am not getting redirected to the correct page. I’m still investigating this. So, use with caution and test well!

function auto_login_new_user( $user_id ) {
wp_set_current_user($user_id);
wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id);
// wp_safe_redirect( home_url() ); OR…
wp_safe_redirect( home_url(‘/your-page/’) );
}
add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘auto_login_new_user’ , 10, 1);

Hello,

I’d suggest you to use Pie-Register Hook pie_register_after_register this hook return User Object as defined in line # 1482 of pie_save_registration function.

I hope it helps.

Thanks
