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_submit_complete action:
/**
* Auto log-in new user
*/
add_action( 'cred_submit_complete', '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_email'] ) ) {
$user = get_user_by( "email", $_POST['user_email'] );
// Redirect URL //
if ( !is_wp_error( $user ) ) {
wp_clear_auth_cookie();
wp_set_current_user ( $user->ID );
wp_set_auth_cookie ( $user->ID );
$redirect_to = get_site_url().'/denunciar/';
wp_safe_redirect( $redirect_to );
exit();
}
}
}
}
This funtion works also in the case of a form with autogenerate user name, password and alias:
The form could display only a field for email and it can send user login and password by a form notification:
get_user_by() reference: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_user_by/
wp_safe_redirect() reference: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_safe_redirect/
Remember to change “$form_data[‘id’] == 55” with your Toolset User Form ID.
