Can guest wishlists be converted to save user wishlists?

    I am looking to use the wishlist plugin (free or paid) and need functionality that anyone can build a wishlist but if they are NOT a logged in user, they are able to “log in to save wishlist”. Is that possible?

    I saw the other support topic you had about how to turn off adding to wishlist for guest users, which could force everyone to log in to make the wishlist – but is there a way to make a hybrid of this?

    I am comfortable with some custom function code, but not sure if that will work.

    Thanks!

    Hi there

    Not sure if I properly understand your question
    When a guest user creates a wishlist, it will be stored with his/her session id
    If this guest users logs into your site, his/her wishlist will be updated, session id removed, and user id added

    From that moment, the wishlist is permanently attached to the user that just logged into the site

    This is the case for any version of the plugin

    Oh, great, yes, that is what I was asking about. When I first was testing on this it did not seem to take the guest wishlist and pull it in to the userid so I thought it did not work.

    But since you say this is how it should be working, I will try it with a fresh session.

    And should that work for a user logging in as well as a user Registering fresh?

    Hi again Phillip

    Yes, indeed: as soon as the system finds a logged in user (no matter if this happened as a consequence of a login or a registration), it will “finalize” his/her wishlist, registering it with customer id

    Okay, for now, our need is just for logged in users so I just made a shortcode to redirect them, but if we have a need in the future to do it without logging in, I will check it out.
