Auto login after register and redirect to profile page

Hmm.. this doesn’t work. Instead of logging the user in and redirecting to the referrer, it brings the user to the Log In page after registering. Then when the user logs in with the new credentials, it redirects them to the registration page again– in a seemingly infinite loop.

If I were registering a user by directing them to: /login/?action=register.. would it be possible to redirect a user after registration by passing a variable to the registration page? i.e. /login/?action=register?referrer=/path/to/referrer/page ?

Thank’s for your help

Alright, got it working. Here’s how, for anyone interested:

File theme-my-login-custom.php in the /plugins/ directory (not in /plugins/theme-my-login), with the following code:

<?php
function tml_new_user_registered( $user_id ) {
    wp_set_auth_cookie( $user_id, false, is_ssl() );
    wp_redirect( wp_get_referer() );
    exit;
}
add_action( 'tml_new_user_registered', 'tml_new_user_registered' );
?>

In the theme’s functions.php:

function show_first_name_field(){
?>
<input type="hidden" value="' . wp_specialchars(stripslashes($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) . '" name="_wp_original_http_referer"/>
<?php
}

After registering, a user is now automatically logged in and redirected back to the page they clicked “register” from.

Thanks for your help, Jeff

Hi
Theme My Login is what i was looking for, brilliant plugin, i am testing the code you provide above but some reason i can’t get it to work properly,
i am using the tml widget and after hitting the submit button for new register the new user get redirected all right to the refered page but the widget form doesn’t change, it keeps the register form on the refered page instead of the welcome user logged in form. Any ideas about this issue?

your help is greatly appreciated.

sorry that i can’t provide my url as i am working on my local server.

If you refresh it, does it display properly?

I see now. This is because the referer is passing the action query argument. Try this:

<?php
function tml_new_user_registered( $user_id ) {
	wp_set_auth_cookie( $user_id, false, is_ssl() );
	$referer = remove_query_arg( array( 'action', 'instance' ), wp_get_referer() );
	wp_redirect( $referer );
	exit;
}
add_action( 'tml_new_user_registered', 'tml_new_user_registered' );

function tml_register_form() {
	wp_original_referer_field( true, 'previous' );
}
add_action( 'register_form', 'tml_register_form' );
?>

sorry just one last question, could you please give an example of how to set user notification email, i mean by using the variable %user_pass%. i am not a coder. thank you

well, i enabled custom e-mails module as well as custom passwords module, i am trying to config the settings for user and admin notification, as well as password recovery and reset, but i don’t get the email for new users and new users don’t get the notification email either.

my settings for User Notification are:

From Name
%blogname%

From E-mail: info@lagofutbol.com –this is my blog’s email

Message:
email: %user_email%
Usuario: %user_login%
Password: %user_pass%
%siteurl%

my settings for Admin Notification are:
To: -i leaved it blank–

From Name: Futbol Lago
From E-mail: -i leaved it blank–

Message:
Usuario: %user_login%
E-mail: %user_email%

i also leave unchecked the box ‘Disable Admin Notification’

note: i am not using the moderation module, however i tested it and got a new user notification email saying: access not granted to my site.

i wonder if it has to do with the ‘auto login after register feauture’ i just implemented earlier.
