Login Problems

Been trying to figure out what’s been happening with the non redirection after login, since I just tried PayPal’s sandbox and successfully registered a user.

I’ve looked all over the forums and watched the video you created but none of the suggestions are working.

Previously, I was using Peter’s Login Redirect, and that had been working for some time but now it’s not.

Here’s what I’ve done/tried:

* I’ve set the Welcome page and even tried using the Special Redirection URL field – both methods don’t work
* A manually created user can log in and be redirected to the correct URL (don’t understand why)
* Users created through PPro forms cannot, despite that they are in the database (these are s2 level 1 and 3 in my world). These users get sent to:

http://www.example.com/signup/?_s2member_seekingtype=page&_s2member_seekingpage=71&_s2member_seeking_uri=L2Rhc2hib2FyZD9zMi1zc2w9eWVz&_s2member_reqtype=level&_s2member_reqlevel=0&_s2member_restype=sys&s2member_seeking=page-71&s2member_level_req=0

* Oddly, it appears that once the user is redirected to the above URL on login attempted the user is somehow partially logged at this stage – my logout link (using wp_loginout(); ) appears. If I manually change the address bar at this point to point to the desired page (71 (my login welcome page)), they get sent back to the above URL.

* Tried to login from both the s2 widget and wp-login.php – doesn’t work
* Tried to hardcode the redirection directly in wp-login.php – doesn’t work
* Tried using another plugin (WP User Control) in place of Peter’s Login Redirect – doesn’t work
* Tried disabling all Redirect plugins – doesn’t work
* Tried using some of your hacks from the forum to override overall redirection issues – doesn’t work
* Tried using some of your hacks from the forum to force specific role redirection – doesn’t work
* I’m not using any theme – it’s a child theme of 2010 that I developed
* I try to keep plugins to a minimum and code as much as I can – I’m only using 8 of them
* In my htaccess I’ve denied access to .htaccess, php.ini, php5.ini, wp-config
* Made sure that my “Home URL” and “Site URL” are identical in the General Options tab and include www
* I have a code snippet in my functions.php to prevent any non super admin from accessing wp-admin/

I’m stumped here.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thank you.

Hello Bran,

It sounds like the user IS getting logged in but is being redirected to the previous page (the register page).

What is the code snippet in your functions.php?

Can you disable all of your plugins then clear your browser cache and see what happens

Hi Philly.

Well that’s the strange part – I’m seeing as though they are logged in, yet they cannot get to the Welcome Page.

The snippet is simply a redirect so that anyone who is not a super admin who tries to type in /wp-admin in the address bar will be redirected. Yes, I’ve commented out this code and that change anything.

I disabled all plugins and restarted my browser. The result is the same.

Any other ideas?

Hi Bran.

It does sound like the person is not being logged in, since he’s being sent to the Membership Options page, the URL you posted has all the Membership Options Page variables. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› API / Scripting -› Membership Options Page Variables (MOP Vars)[/hilite]

And since you tried so many redirection things, there may be one left somewhere that is affecting the s2Member Login Welcome one.

Remove the customizations you added, try deactivating the other plugins and also change the theme to the default. Try logging in and see what happens. That should work properly, if it doesn’t then double check that you don’t have some hack/customization left in the theme or mu-plugins.

I hope that helps.

Christian,

Only about 30 minutes ago did I figure this one out.

What it was was modifications to the Members plugin by Justin Tadlock.

For any s2member role (e.g., s2member_level3) I had unchecked any capability below that (access_s2member_level2, access_s2member_level1, and access_s2member_level0). Although I know that s2member roles are cumulative, I don’t want level3 having level1 access – they are discrete roles for my setup.

On a lark I checked them back off and voila – I was able to log in as the specified role.

Fortunately, in my code, I make use only of conditionals such as (current_user_is(“s2member_level3”)), so I don’t think I should be affected by having those capabilities checked.

Thank you for taking the time to respond!

Hello Bran! Thanks for the follow-up!

I’m glad you solved your problem, and thanks for sharing your solution. :)
