login loop

Sorry for the inconvenience. Here’s how the plugin is supposed to work:

When a shortcode is encountered, the system checks to see if the user is logged in. If he is, the page is rendered normally but if he isn’t he is redirected to the login page.

If after logging out you are being redirected to the page where a shortcode is present then the behavior that you are seeing is not strange. However if your whole website becomes inaccessible (even the places where a shortcode hasn’t been used) then its a problem. Please check to see which one is it and let me know.

Thanks for the speedy response. I’m being redirected from the logout/in page back to the logout/in page. When I disable the plugin this behavior stops. I’ll remove the short code (embedded in a post) and leave the plugin enabled to see what happens.
It also seems anyone visiting the site can only load the login screen – I’ll check further.

okay, removing the post short code for the form fixed the problem – but then the plugin is rendered useless. Also there’s no info on your website about the plugin that I could find. Just trying to help as I like what I’ve seen thus far & would like to use the plugin on a number of sites. Please try to fix the problem. I’m using weaver ii pro & the latest chrome browser on OSX – tho those factors should not have anything to do with this behavior … weaver has it’s own short code capabilities built-in but I don’t think that’s the problem. thanks again.

Hi. I wasn’t able to recreate the problem on any of my sites. However I thought maybe other people were also facing the issue so I published a new version that allows you to disable the redirection.

Just update to the latest version, go to the options panel, check “Disable Redirection to Login Page” and hit save. Now your users will not be redirected to the login page automatically. Instead they will be shown a message telling them that they need to login.

OK I think the problem & my confusion has been that that when you say “This lightweight plugin allows you to accept guest posts/articles without giving your members access to the sensitive WordPress control panel.”
I thought it accepted GUEST posts … but it seems you are requiring that the “guest” actually register first .. which makes them NOT a guest …
am I correct … ????
my entire purpose was to allow non-registered aka guest visitor(s) the ability to post an article …
otherwise they would be subscribers, contributors etc etc and theres really no “frontend” for visitors or guests who aren’t registered first

I see. Guest posts usually refer to posts from the owners of other blogs for promotion purposes. It doesn’t mean they don’t have to register. But I can see now that the description is a bit ambiguous. Now that we have cleared this up, could you please remove or update your rating? Thanks
