Hey Joshua, I appreciate the response. I also have a budget to put toward the solution to my problem. If you are interested in helping me get this worked out please let me know. There are some other plugins I’d like to use that would also need to that user data from the external database, so if you know of a way of coding this that would cover future plugins that would be great.

I really wish I hadn’t gone down the road of a separate login process outside of the WP platform. If trying to butcher the code is going to cause future problems I will probably just import all the user data into the WP database and have all my users re-register/confirm registration.

Anyway, please let me know if you are willing to help, and what your rate will be.

Thanks
Nick

Hey Joshua, I have the plugin configured correctly now. I have a question for, hopefully, the last step of what I’m trying to do.

I still need to have plugins in WP get the logged in users’ first/last name when they log in using the external database login function.

I’ve not dug into the WP Codex much and will take me more time to learn it (which I intend to do, but I just don’t have the time it would take to get up to speed before my issue needs to be mended).

How do I pass my external database user info (after logging in with my external db login function) to the WP_User object so it can be referenced by the wp plugins that need to log that user info?

I’m getting this error as well:

Unknown column ‘active’ in ‘where clause’

Can weblance_com please post what his solution was? It may help me and others.

I’ve tried different settings and this is the furthest I’ve been able to go in a positive direction until that error popped up.

Please enlighten the rest of us! ??

I forgot to add the code snippets I am using in my HTML

This before my post query:

<?php
  $paged = get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
  query_posts('showposts=5&cat=34&order=DSC&orderby=ID&paged=' . $paged);
  ?>

and this after the post loop:
<?php wp_simple_pagination(); ?>

And I have class=”pagination” in the containing div tag.

??

Thank you very much, Mike. I have rolled it back to the version right before the one giving me problems. Restored my forms. All good.

Thanks again.

I made the change in my php.ini file. I removed the comment from the wp-settings.php file. I removed the spaces above the html tag and combined the two php portions into one php tag. Tried viewing the page and I got a page not found http 404 error page. I put the original two php tags back to how I had them and the page was viewable just fine, but still had the error I described at the very top of this thread. Very strange.

I won’t take your time anymore. I’ll try to delve deeper into the code and try not to botch it up as much.

BTW, how do I revert to the previous version? Can I just copy the previous files back onto the server?

Ok, I’ve had session issues before with my particular site. Every html page with the following code above the html header has the error msg I posted in my first message:

<?php
require_once("../isAuthenticated.php");
if(!$isAuthenticated) {
  header("Location: ../index.html");  // Where do you want to send them?
  exit;
}
?>

<?php
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('../admin/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

My site uses sessions and after some research I found I have to comment out the following line from the WP file wp-settings.php:

wp_unregister_GLOBALS();

Is there an issue with my site now that you have session code in your “class-wp-session.php” file? I don’t think I had that file in my previous version of your Fast Secure Contact Form. Can I roll back to the previous version? I still have the wp plugin directory of the previous version.

Another request, if I may, is to be able to allow each signup sheet to have a category so that signups for one group of users can be seen on a different page (shortcode in my html) from another group of users. So one page shows signup sheets A, B and F and another page shows signup sheets C, D and E.
