Failed Login leads to wrong page contents

    Hello,
    I am using WP members plugin on https://cybermakerspace.com/, to have a login form shown inline in the right-bottom of the website.

    If the username/password are verified correct, all works good.

    If Login fails, the result page shows some different content (curation related custom posts), which are not there in the home page. Also, the web page looks partly to be in mobile version while I am using desktop.

    I am facing this problem with version 3.2.2 or 3.2.2.1 and wordpress 4.9.7.

    Surprisingly, if I downgrade the plugin to version 2.9.8.1, it works fine. (I am afraid to use such old plugin, as it might have some incompatibilities with wordpress 4.9.7)

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Vikas Nagpal

    We found that it works fine in plugin version 3.1.9, and does not work in version 3.2.0.

    Same issue – user types in wrong password, and is taken to a home page that shows blog posts (not our proper home page). I’m working on a local site, so I can’t share a link, but WP version 4.9.8, WP-Members version 3.2.3.1 (just updated it today, which did not resolve the issue).

    Thanks!

    I was finally able to reproduce this and track the issue. When WP is set to use a static front page and login is done on the front page, the inclusion of the WP-Members action variable in the WP query_vars array causes this behavior.

    I am evaluating options regarding this particular issue. The “quick fix” is to remove the filter. This filter was added in 3.2 (which is why everyone has mentioned that there is no issue in earlier versions). I know that it was added for a specific reason but I cannot currently find development notes on why that was, so I am hesitant to simply remove it at this time. I will try to find a workaround and then if that fails, it will have to be removed regardless.

    This is probably going to take awhile so in the meantime the solution is to simply remove the filter. In the current version (3.2.3.1), it is at line 340 of /inc/class-wp-members.php.

    add_filter( 'query_vars', array( $this, 'add_query_vars' ) );

    Either comment out the line or remove it altogether until I have found a more permanent solution.

    That worked for me – thanks!

    Also worked for me, and not seeing any issues arising from commenting out that filter. Thank you!

    Thanks for the info – I’m pretty sure the change in 3.2.4 is going to be to remove that line for now.
