Registration & Login Redirect Issues

    Hello,

    After successfully registering an account, the registration page doesn’t redirect to a “Thanks for Registering” page. It just reloads the registration page and makes the form disappear.

    Should I add the following code to my themes functions.php file? 

    add_action('swpm_front_end_registration_complete', 'sam_after_registration_redirection');
function sam_after_registration_redirection()
{
$url = 'https://www.yourwebsite.com/thank-you/';//TODO - Specify the URL that you want to redirect to
wp_redirect($url);
}

    Additionally, after logging in with the newly created account, I am brought to a page upon successfully logging in, but I don’t see a “Logout” or “Edit Profile” button. I would need to go to /membership-login to find those links. Is there a way to include them on my page instead of directing users to log out by going to /membership-login?

    Thanks,
    Frank

    Hi, do you have the following feature After Registration Redirect URL enabled? This is located under the Advanced Settings tab?

    Regards

    I’ll check and see if I have that feature enabled and report back to you.

    In the meantime, any insight you can shed about having the logout link or edit profile link show up on the page set as the after login redirect? Currently, to log out, I’d have to go to the /membership-login page.

    I was able to successfully set up the registration redirection.

    I do have some follow up questions:

    1. Upon logging in, the “Member Login” link text remains the same on my menu of the site. Is there a way to customize this for a logged in user? Maybe have it be their first name?

    2. Is there a way to show a logout link only after the user is logged in? I saw the documentation you provided in regards to the URL to send them to, but I’m talking about having a logout link as a child link to “Member Login”.

    3. After logging in and updating my profile, the change takes, but there’s no success message alerting the user that their updates have been saved.

    4. Can menu links be created that are only visible to logged in users?

    5. For password resets, is there an alternative option instead of sending the user a plain text password over email – this is a major security concern.

    6. Can the email notifications that are sent to a member have them “From” fields say something other than “WordPress”?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, I have provided an answer for each question.

    1. Upon logging in, the “Member Login” link text remains the same on my menu of the site. Is there a way to customize this for a logged in user? Maybe have it be their first name?

    Currently we have the following addon that might help. In regards to using a name or so that is not currently possible. However we do have the following addon, I am not sure if this will help you in any way.

    2. Is there a way to show a logout link only after the user is logged in? I saw the documentation you provided in regards to the URL to send them to, but I’m talking about having a logout link as a child link to “Member Login”.

    You might like to read the following reply by one of the developers for a similar question.

    3. After logging in and updating my profile, the change takes, but there’s no success message alerting the user that their updates have been saved.

    I just tested this and there is a message displayed in green at top of the profile page underneath the Header Profile.

    The message says:

    Profile updated successfully.

    4. Can menu links be created that are only visible to logged in users?

    Unfortunately this is not possible in the plugin.

    5. For password resets, is there an alternative option instead of sending the user a plain text password over email – this is a major security concern.

    This is how the plugin currently works. What are you suggesting?

    6. Can the email notifications that are sent to a member have them “From” fields say something other than “WordPress”?

    Please read the following documentation. Let me know if this is what you mean.

    If you have any more questions please let me know.

    Kind regards

    The addon you provided for the first question isn’t what I’m looking for, unfortunately. The URL /membership-login/ contains the anchor text “Member Login”. I was wondering why this anchor text remains the same after the user is already logged in?

    What browser were you seeing the “Profile updates successfully” in? I was using Google Chrome and was not seeing it.

    For password resets, I would prefer to email the user a link that will bring them to a page to enter their new password and confirm their password. Is this possible?

    Hi, that anchor text comes from the name given to the members login page. I understand what you mean but at present that is how the plugin functions.

    In regards to your second question, I used Google Chrome browser.

    This is what I did:
    I logged in as a member, then I went to my profile page to edit my profile. Once I made the changes, I clicked on the save button and the message appeared on the top as I mentioned in my previous post. If you don’t see this message, then I suspect that your theme or a plugin is interfering with this process.

    In regards to your third question about the password, currently that is how the plugin functions when resetting the password. I have submitted a message to the developers to investigate further your question.

    Thank you

    Thank you for the clarification on these questions. I also appreciate you submitting the question to the developers to have them clarify my concerns about resetting the password.

    I recently created a second test account and noticed that this time around, I didn’t receive the email notification regarding my registration, but I did receive the admin email notification that a new user registered. My guess was the email was caught in my spam folder, but I didn’t see a message there. The first test account I created had an opposite effect where I received the registration confirmation email, but the admin email regarding a new user went to the spam folder.

    Any reason why I would see this inconsistency?

    Perfect. That’s what I was looking for.

    One final question at this time…

    When a registered user is logged in, can a link be hidden from them based on their membership level?

    Hi, please check the following addon.

    Let me know if this is what you are after?

    I apologize for the confusion. I was referring to a link in my menu navigation. If I have a link called “Example” and “Example Pro”, I would like to hide “Example Pro” from a user that does not have a “Pro” membership level when they log into the site. Is this possible to do with the code in the Simple Membership plugin?

    Plugin Support mbrsolution

    (@mbrsolution)

    Hi, no that is not currently possible in the plugin. The plugin does not control or manages menus in a site based on membership level.

    Thank you

    Is it possible to allow a registered user to change their password without logging into the site? I’m trying to think of a possible alternative instead of having plain text passwords emailed to the user.

    (@mbrsolution)

    Hi, currently the only way to achieve this is by going to the membership-login page and clicking on Forgot Password.

    Let me know if you need more help.

    Kind regards
