Immediate login to members page

Hi S2 Member,

I am a big fan! Love the plugin so much. Anyway, I need help. The plugin works successfully but I was hoping if I could immediately move the paid customer (after payment) to the Members Area page without having to login anymore?

Is this possible?

Many thanks,

Giancarlo

Hi Giancarlo.

Thanks for the kudos! :)

There’s a hack to login automatically after registration: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/auto-login-after-successful-payment/#post-16660

I hope that helps.

Hi Cristian,

Does it work for Paypal Pro Forms? I set it up following your instructions on the docs and videos as well Optimize Press videos. I am just worried that I might get problems.

So I just create a mu-plugin folder and upload the s2hack.php file. And that is it? No more configuration on the S2member options?

Thanks,

Giancarlo

Right, just that. And it works with pro-forms too. :)

I love the Pro plugin and the possibility of an auto-login feature (much less confusing to sign-ups than just putting some yellow-background text above the reg. form). My problem is when I try to implement the hack for auto-login, I’m getting all kinds of problems when I try to login to my WP admin (see below, this is just a sample of over a dozen warnings that show up). Problem goes away as soon as I remove the s2hacks.php file. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Elizabeth,

Could you please post the code inside the s2hacks.php file? Thanks. :)

It’s the code I pulled from these forums. I have tried it both with and without the closing ?> tag.

<?php
add_action(&#039;ws_plugin__s2member_during_configure_user_registration&#039;, &#039;s2_auto_login_after_registration&#039;);
function s2_auto_login_after_registration($vars = array()) {
    if (!is_admin() &amp;&amp; $vars[&#039;processed&#039;] === &#039;yes&#039;) {
        wp_new_user_notification($vars[&#039;user_id&#039;], $vars[&#039;pass&#039;]);
        wp_set_auth_cookie($vars[&#039;user_id&#039;], false, is_ssl());
        wp_redirect(S2MEMBER_LOGIN_WELCOME_PAGE_URL . &#039;?first&#039;);
        exit();
    }
}

Elizabeth,

It looks like when you copied and pasted the code, the code was garbled. There are a bunch of bad characters in your pasted code. Could you try copying the code from the forum again and paste it into a plain text file (using Notepad or TextEdit) and then copy and paste it again to the s2-hacks.php file?

Make sure you don’t have a space or line break before the opening PHP tag. The [hilite code]

Does the S2 Hack require that I must have the https? Because, I just use paypal during the signup so it redirects it to the paypal page. But when I applied the S2 hack nothing happens.

No, HTTPS is required for a page with a pro-form when you receive payments on-site, like with PayPal Pro or Authorize.Net.

Thank you Raam and Cristian, the combination of your advice worked (I did notice extra space before the <?php tag). I really appreciate your help, and your product. Thanks again.

You’re welcome, Elizabeth. I’m glad you got it working. Thanks for the update! :)
