Major Login Probs

[elastigirl]

I'm using wordpress 3.1 buddypress 1.2.8 and s2member 3.5.2

I haven't setup any paid level buttons yet as I'm still testing. I allow level 0 - free level and here's what's happening:

I click register and fill in the form I get response to say I will get an email but none comes (I have that issue mentioned in another post so that's separate)

So then I try and login anyway (cos I know the password) and nothing happens? I logged in as admin, checked the user and it was at role: subscriber which seemed ok, but I updated to role level1 s2 member just to test and still nothing when I go to login.. no errors it just redirects me to the membership options page like it would if was a normal non member. I've tried logging in from top bar and from side widget..nothing..

Any ideas? many thanks.

Go to your login page, view the source code and search for a hidden input field that has a redirection. I may start like this:

Code: Select all

<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to"

There's just one hidden input field which is this one

<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="http://members.mydomain.com/wp-admin/" />

When I login with admin username it's fine, just a normal user has the problem?

tks

That redirection is preventing s2Member's from working, s2Member respects that field. You'll have to remove it in order for your s2Member redirection to work as you want.

If I remember correctly, an admin won't be redirected as the other users will. Try doing your tests with another non-admin account.

so do I just remove that line completely from the login page?

[Cristián Lávaque]

Yeah. Try it and let me know if it solved your problem.
