my_login_redirect won't get_user_meta

    Users log in with the WP-members plugin widget. The normal login_redirect wasn’t triggered, the wpmem_login_redirect is.
    After login I get the users language preference from their profile (it’s a custom wpmem field) and I want to redirect them to the page in their language.
    $user_ID writes “0” and $language writes nothing. What am I doing wrong?
    I also set up a redirect_after_profile_update and that works as expected, same variables…
    I put the php code in the plugin ‘Shortcodes, Actions ad Filters’.

    function my_login_redirect( $url, $request, $user ){
	$user_ID = get_current_user_id();
	$language = get_user_meta(intval($user_ID), 'KitLanguage', 1);
	file_put_contents ( 'C:\logfile.txt', 'user_ID: '.$user_ID.' $language: '.$language );
}
add_filter( 'wpmem_login_redirect', 'my_login_redirect', 10, 2 );

    Any help would be appreciated…!

    This is because by default, the plugin won’t execute filters on the login page.

    Click the Settings (gear) icon at the top of the page when viewing your list of filters. That takes you to a page with the option:

    Allow Execution of Actions and Filters on Login/Logout pages
    WARNING: if your code has errors then it can cause you to be unable to login to your site to fix the code!

    Absolutely fantastic, thank you Michael! I remember now seeing that setting when I first installed the plugin.
    When I read your concerns (and they are indeed very very real!), the plugin could do with an option to use a file like ‘.loginlogoutscriptsenabled’ to be deleted by the user when he needs to disable the plugin. It might slow down a bit but the user can uncheck the option when everything works OK. Tampering with databases is also a risk, don’t you think? Thank you for the awesome plugin, it solves so many problems for making small php tweaks!
