Dhruvik Malaviya and threadi, thank for your response and there is a lot to unpack here! So I’ll focus on what’s confusing me or where I seek further clarification.

Dhruvik, I understand what you’re saying about the general php practices and the code you’re providing. However with respect to database credentials, all my database credentials are stored in the default location in my wp-config.php file. I considered moving this file, but I trust that WP knows what they’re doing when they set up these installations. Are you recommending I move my
wp-config.php to a location outside of the default location?

threadi, when you write, “I would strongly advise against using PHP sessions unless you know how to use them and for what purpose you are using them. If I’m reading this correctly, are you saying that I should understand the “What” and “Why” of PHP sessions? If I understand the what, why, and how, then I’m ok with adding these into my code with little to no risk?

Ronald seeking clarification.

wfpeter, thanks for the clear and precise explanation.

Jan, thanks for the article. I like this requirement, but how does wordpress enforce it?

“In addition, it is also a requirement that the use of such tools be declared within the response, to provide transparency, and set expectations.”

Ronald

Thank you for your response. It seems I have struck a nerve, which wasn’t my intent! Which moderator should we listen to? One moderator says it’s ok as long as you check it for accuracy. The other moderator says don’t ever do it!

I don’t take any of these responses personally. Since it’s already been noted that there is no policy on ChatGPT, I’ll use my own judgment when writing in these forums.

Thank you both

I type an s after mysite.com/s and it publicly displays my sitemap. Is my sitemap suppose to be shown to the public? Does this represent a security hole?

George, thanks for the confirmation. Hopefully, they’ll be able to restore the patterns directory soon!

HI Stef, I’m just asking a question. Why do I need to post my site url? What would you be looking for?

Ron

Jarryd, that works! The user only needs to log-in one time. In addition, it doesn’t present a second log-in page that redirect the user to the membership-account page.

Talking about killing two birds with one stone. PMPro application and team is killing it!

Ron

When I disconnect Jetpack from the wordpress.com site, the redirect works as expected without the extra login. Is there a way for me to keep my Jetpack connection to wordpress.com and have it work as expected, or do I need to ditch jetpack?

Anyone else having this issue?

Ron

Alright, I read this article that redirect all members back to the same page, so this is perfect!

However, I’m still getting this extra wordpress login that isn’t necessary. It will first request that you answer a math problem. When you submit the correct answer then you’re directed to the wordpress log-in page.

Ron

I would like to note hat sometimes a welcome page with the username will present itself. Does pmpro create this page? If not, then I’ll assume it’s coming from my twentytwentyfour theme.

Hi all, I’m starting to understand how I want the user to be navigated to the paid content. Here’s the basic flow for free and paid users.

user1 (free or paid member) -> front page -> login credentials -> WORDPRESS LOGIN PAGE (enter credential again) -> taken to the membership acct page….

2.) Once these enter their login credentials the first time, I would like the following:

• If they are paid members, then they go to the front page without the login credentials
• If they are free members, then they are directed to the the front page with a join Now button.

1.) How do I remove the WORDPRESS LOGIN PAGE? I believe it coming from JetPack that makes a connection to WordPress.com. Essentially, this forces the user to log in twice.

2.) Is there some redirect code or add-on that will take the user from the membership acct page to either the front page without login credential or to the Join Now button?

Great product, I’m really feeling it.

Ronald

Thank you, I filled out the form in the plugin. -Ron
