Auto login and redirect query

I’ve been using a “hack” which I’ve uploaded to the mu-plugins folder that automatically logged people in and redirected them to the login welcome page when they registered on my site. The hack that I was using is shown below:

<?php
add_action('ws_plugin__s2member_during_configure_user_registration', 's2_auto_login_after_registration');
function s2_auto_login_after_registration($vars = array()) {
if (!is_admin() && $vars['processed'] === 'yes') {
wp_new_user_notification($vars['user_id'], $vars['pass']);
wp_set_auth_cookie($vars['user_id'], false, is_ssl());
c_ws_plugin__s2member_login_redirects::login_redirect($vars['login']);
}
}

But in the last week or two (I can't recall exactly) it stopped working.

From reading around on the forums, it seems that this is the hack I should be using:

I have followed the instructions in the post, and also have the latest version of s2member installed, but this latest hack does not work in the way the old one did.

It appears to log people in (although still shows the register screen with the yellow "Thank you. Please login" alert), but does not redirect them to the log in welcome page.

Is there anything I need to add to the code in order to send people straight to the login welcome page after registration, rather than leave them on the registration page?

Thanks, Christian

FYI: I have configured a Special Redirection URL, rather than use a page from the login redirection dropdown menu.

Hi Christian.

Could you submit your site’s info and let me know when you did so I take a look at your installation with the hack and test the registration to see how the hack behaves? Thanks! s2Member® » Private Contact Form

Hi Cristián,

Just to let you know I have sent you my site info via the private contact form.

Thanks, Christian

Thanks Christian.

I just tried the dashboard login and it didn’t let me in. Could you verify the credentials and resend it? I just emailed you about it, you can reply to that email with the correct login info.

Thanks!

Thanks, got the password and could login.

I did several tests hunting down the problem and finally found it. I fixed it in your installation and will let Jason know what it was so he can update the article.

Please remove all the accounts I created doing this. :P

That’s great Cristián, thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

No problem. :)

I found the same problem with my use of the hack. Could you please post the fix or send it to me?

Hi Alan.

The article has already been updated with the fixed code since the problem was found here. :)
