Register button is dead on iPhone

    Hi,

    I just tried your plugin and it mostly seems to be working fine however there are 3 issues I noticed.

    The first and most important is that the register button is idle when someone tries to register through an iPhone. I noticed this behaviour on an iPhone 6 and 6 plus (can’t say if other models suffer too). The scenario is fairly straightforward, the user fills up the 4 fields (username, email, pass, repeat pass) and when clicks on register but nothing happens. Some users reported that they could at times notice a thin redish line appearing on top (like the error container) but I couldn’t always notice it being there.
    If any of them tries to register on any other device, everything works correctly. All of them tried it on the default safari browser on their phones.
    The login screen / button on the other hand works correctly, without any of the problems mentioned above.

    The second issue, is regarding the login with fb option. Everything was setup correctly in the settings page as well as the FB developers app page. The issue at hand appears whenever someone tries to use this option while on the Google Chrome browser on iOS. I searched beforehand for this issue and understand that it is more of a Chrome bug on the iOS platform rather than a zM Ajax Login & Register issue (correct me if I’m wrong) but I would like your insight on the issue nonetheless, perhaps even a pointer towards a solution.

    The third issue, is about my new user registrations emails. Since I started using this plugin, they just stopped coming. Not only the admin email notification (which states that a new user just registered at the site) but also the user email (which states the username and password) stopped coming.
    Do you have any idea why is that?

    Thanks,
    Don

    Hi Don,

    Thank you for the detailed update. Here’s my response in order of importance.

    New User Emails
    I wasn’t aware of the new user registration emails, I’ll assume that this isn’t a WordPress Networking install and that if it is the option:

    Send the network admin an email notification every time someone registers a site or user account.

    is set?

    If so I will address it in the issue on GitHub.

    iPhone 6 Register Button
    The red border leads me to think this might be a styling issue that is preventing the error notice from displaying, but considering that the information is valid, no error should be displayed.

    I’ll have too look into this further and get back to you.

    Chrome Browser iOS
    Specifically what happens? I assume that the user just can never login?

    P.S., The next release I plan to have out by mid-February.

    Hi Zane,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Regarding the first issue (new user emails), it indeed a multisite installation but the setting you are referring to is indeed checked. Basically, it was working as expected (sending emails etc on new user registration), then I switched to your plugin for registrations and then realized that new people where signing up but I wasn’t notified.

    Regarding the second issue (register button behaviour on iPhones 6), basically all fields are filled properly (i.e., with valid info) but, upon clicking the register button nothing happens. If we use the exact same details while on another device / desktop, the ajax runs (it shows the message that all is ok, hold on while we redirect), then the screen refreshes and proceeds as it should. Although not an expert in this topic, it feels as if it’s an ajax thing, since after the click on the register button, the message of successful validation (“..all good, please wait while we redirect you..” or something) doesn’t appear, and as far as I understand the ajax calls / processing is the main thing happening between the click and that message.

    Regarding the third issue (Chrome Browser on iOS), as I said I understand that this is not directly related to your plugin but it is more of a bug on the particular browser, when running on the particular platform iOS. Users who are using the Chrome browser on iOS and try the login with fb option, get a message on their devices saying something like:
    “Unsupported Browser: Chrome for iOS does not support this feature. Please use a different browser and try again”.

    I was just hoping that at least regarding this issue you would have more knowledge and hopefully some pointers as to how address this issue.

    Thanks,
    Anton

    Hi Anton,

    I’ve narrowed down the first issue, its because the function to send new user notifications is not being fired, as mentioned in the above issue on GitHub, which I’ve updated to be a bit more verbose.

    Regarding the other issues, I can’t pose a direct solution, or fix at the moment, but I will look into them deeper at a later time.
