Logging In / Logging Out

    Hi there I have a few questions that pertain to Logging In, Logging Out, and how that particular action causes a few odd things to happen that I was hoping to correct. Please take a look and let me know ?? I appreciate your time with this and am looking forward to the response!

    1. Is there a way to only display one form for the Log In/ Register page? Currently, the forms are placed either side by side or with one below the other. Ideally one would see a single form with the option to tick or click a link (typically located underneath the link “Lost Password”) titled “Sign In” or “Register”, depending on which form is active.

    2. Additionally with question #1, I would like a separate page for the Log In / Registration page and for the actual Account page so that I can set a background for the Log In / Reg page. Currently If I set a background to the Log In / Registration page, it appears in the My Account Page where the dashboard / orders / downloads, links appear.

    3. Logging in and Logging out it removes all items the customer added from cart. Is there a way to save that information if whenever signing in or signing out?

    4. If I am not signed in and choose to click a link that requires me to be signed in to view (eg. downloads) I would like for it to direct me to that page after logging in. Example of that : if I were not signed in and clicked on drop down link “Downloads” in my main navigation, it would direct me to log in page. Once I log in, I am on the My Account / Dashboard page, not the Downloads page.

    1) It’s possible to split these up into separate pages, will take some customization though: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23821488/separate-registration-page-in-woo-commerce-website & https://teamtreehouse.com/community/woocommerce-login-registration-on-separate-pages

    2) There should be a css class added to the <body> tag when somebody is logged in / isn’t logged in. So you could use that to apply a specific background to the page.

    3) Cart items are saved to a session. If you log back in, the cart items will return.

    4) WooCommerce already tries to redirect back to where they came from: https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/5afac69f103f34a8c9718119a622055c94a6a851/includes/class-wc-form-handler.php#L931. Sometimes this isn’t possible to do though.

    Hi Caleb, as with my other support question, I have had time to review your information and have additional follow up questions!

    1. I followed the instructions and have added the following to the bottom of my childtheme functions.php

    /*// Separete Login form and registration form */
    add_action(‘woocommerce_before_customer_login_form’,’load_registration_form’, 2);
    function load_registration_form(){
    if(isset($_GET[‘action’])==’register’){
    woocommerce_get_template( ‘myaccount/form-registration.php’ );
    }
    }

    Additionally, I created two php forms separating the Login and Registration forms:

    form-login.php AND form-register.php

    Now, the Login form displays by itself, and I successfully added a link for the “Register” page, but it does not link to a Registration Form Page, it pulls up Page not found

    2. What file is that you are referring to with the <body> tag? I tried looking under form-login.php file, and a fe others, but did not see the <body> tag to place my custom div.

    3. Out of curiosity, if the user doesn’t return for a few days, how long will the cart items be kept? Will it always be until they log back in? Also, would the cart items be overridden if they had items in the cart, logged out, selected a few additional items, and then logged back in or would they be added to the previous session?

    4. After testing to see if any pages are redirected back to whatever page the user was on after logging in / logging out, I found that the only page that works/reloads as it seemingly should is the Log In form “Returning Customer?” located on the checkout page. I understand that the code you referenced in the link is supposed to redirect users to pages they were on, or were trying to go, whenever possible, but the only redirect that seems to work is as mentioned before on the checkout page login form. I do notice the url trys to maintain the correct path when I am redirected to the log in page, it’s only after the log in is successful that the url path is changed and I am redirected to the Dashboard Account.

    1. Here is a screen shot of the url when I click the “Register” link when on the Login. (Image A)
