Sometimes the user have a smoother experience if it is possible to login automatically after registration. For example, I’ve used this functionality on a directory website where registered users can publish their own business.
On the add business page, if the user is logged in, I display my “add new business” Toolset Form, if the user is not logged in, I display the login form and a Toolset User Form to register new users.
Instead of reload the login form after register, I can reload the page, then auto-login the user and display the my “add new business” Toolset Form.
I can do this with this function called by a cred_save_data action:
/**
* Auto-login new Toolset User Form
*/
add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'tssupp_cred_autologin', 10, 2 );
function tssupp_cred_autologin( $post_id, $form_data ){
if ( $form_data['id'] == 55 ) { // Edit as required
if ( !empty( $_POST['user_login'] ) && !empty( $_POST['user_pass'] ) ) {
// get the user credentials from the $_POST object
$user = array(
'user_login' => $_POST['user_login'],
'user_password' => $_POST['user_pass'],
'remember' => true
);
$login = wp_signon( $user, false );
if ( is_wp_error($login) ) {
error_log( $login->get_error_message() );
}
}
}
}

Remember to change “$form_data[‘id’] == 55” with your Toolset User Form ID.
