Is there a way to edit your return template to automatically log the user in with the username/password details they entered into the PayPal Pro Form registration form so I can use that to log the person in automatically , thus taking them to the set Login Page (in my case, it's the author template which utilizes a number of custom functionality to show the user's posts on the front end, etc)

This has been figured out:

Adding this into your theme's function files will set a cookie for you and automatically log you in after registering and returning back from a successful PayPal membership purchase (since the registration uses built in WP registration functionality):

Code: Select all

function auto_login_new_user( $user_id )
    {
      wp_set_auth_cookie( $user_id, false, is_ssl() );
    }
add_action( 'user_register', 'auto_login_new_user' );


Hope this helps someone who also needs this kind of functionality.

**Note: Not sure if this works with s2member non-pro forms as I'm utilizing the Pro Forms but if it uses the same wp registration functionality then it should absolutely work for non-pro members as well.

Okay, glad you solved it!

Ryan, that may miss some functionality like the Notifications API, the new user and confirmation emails. Please see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14211

I hope that helps.

Cristian,

Thank you very much sir.

Code: Select all

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() && $vars['processed'] === 'yes') {
        wp_set_auth_cookie($vars['user_id'], false, is_ssl());
        wp_redirect('urltoredirectto');
        exit();
    }
}

Worked perfectly and I receive notifications like I should be, good eye and thanks again.

My pleasure.

Make sure the user gets the emails too (new user and payment confirmation).

Yep, they work perfectly as well, thanks for the help on that.

Excellent.
