Problem with login after password reset

    Sky Login Redirect is superb and the only WP plugin that redirects like does. Except there is a problem when it come to a user requesting forget password reset or new registration password reset. The following are the steps to reproduce this problem with Sky Login Redirect activated:

    1) A user has to login or register to submit a form on a page (the page has been set to limit access to subscriber only).

    2) A new user clicks on the Register or someone that forgets password then clicks Get New Password. A verification email link is sent to him.

    3) He clicks on the verification link and comes back to the WP site to reset his password.

    4) He gets prompted and logs in with his new password.

    5) Then the problem starts – He gets redirected back to the password reset page with the message “Your password reset link appears to be invalid. Please request a new link below.”

    5) If he requests a new link, then it becomes a loop or he gets taken to his Dashboard page although the redirect was supposed to be to a form he was initially reading.

    This is the only scenario where the user shouldn’t be redirected back to reset password after login. Could you exclude just this reset password path from the plugin?

    I am using Sky Login Redirect Version: 2.7.0, WP Version 5.5.1 and restrict access to certain pages requiring login to view through Members Version 3.1.3

    Hi John,

    Thank you for the detailed report.

    I have run a few tests on a staging site:
    1) I restricted a page to subscribers only, with a login link
    2) on the login page, the visitor Registers, an email is sent to his inbox
    3) I clicked the link and set a password
    4) I log in
    5) I’m redirected to the homepage, which is normal as the navigation history has been broken with the email password request.

    I do not get the message “Your password reset link appears to be invalid. Please request a new link below”. It could be another plugin interfering with the password reset function – SLR does not plug into these functions.

    Which plugin is used to restrict content?

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi Matt, Thanks for the quick response.

    I am using Members Version 3.1.3 (by MemberPress) to restrict content to certain pages and using Sky Login Redirect Version: 2.7.0 and WordPress Version 5.5.1

    Now that I have deactivated Sky Login Redirect and using another Redirect that redirects everything to one page (front page) the problem has stopped. But I rather be using Sky Login Redirect to redirect to the last page that person was reading.

    I am happy to hear the problem didn’t appear in your tests (there is hope yet for me to get it right).

    Update: Matt, I realised now the problem was with a plugin called WPS Hide Login which I installed to hide the login page of my site from /wp-login.php to something else. SLR clashes with it. If I deactivate this hide-my-login plugin then Sky Login Redirect works properly. I will keep SLR and do without the hide-my-login because redirection is more important to me than hiding login address.

    So problem solved and end of this thread. Thank you for creating this wonderful plugin and your support.

    Hi John,

    Thanks for the heads-up! It will be useful for anyone using WPS Hide Login and Sky Login Redirect.
