I was able to get the form to work as I needed and I also added a new user role in the functions.php, just for this registration form.</p> <p>I also added a simple plugin, so that once a user was logged in they could not see or change the password. Making it possible to keep them from logging back in later or giving their login details to a friend.</p> <p>Works great.</p> <p>Thanks so much - Happy Holidays.</p> <p>Louise </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-direct-to-private-page-with-auto-login#post-101071 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 00:24:44 +0000 Chris Hajer 101071@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Finally, I was able to use this code to log the user in after registering with the User Registration add-on:</p> <pre><code>[php] add_action(&#39;gform_user_registered&#39;, &#39;gf_autologin&#39;, 10, 4); function gf_autologin($user_id, $config, $entry, $password) { wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id, false, &#39;&#39;); }</code></pre> <p><a href="http://pastebin.com/HNTWhPSr" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/HNTWhPSr</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-direct-to-private-page-with-auto-login#post-101070 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 00:22:35 +0000 Chris Hajer 101070@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>One problem I found when debugging this: make sure the role you are assigning to your registered users has sufficient capabilities to see private posts or pages. There are two specific capabilities built in to WordPress:</p> <pre><code>read_private_pages read_private_posts</code></pre> <p>If you are registering users and you want to log them in and have them see a private page or post, be sure that role you are assigning them has permission to view protected content. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-direct-to-private-page-with-auto-login#post-101068 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 00:17:03 +0000 Chris Hajer 101068@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Louise, are you using the Gravity Forms User Registration Add-on to register your users? I did not see it installed on your site. The gform_user_registered action will only be available if you are using the User Registration Add-on. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-direct-to-private-page-with-auto-login#post-97589 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 02:53:03 +0000 Chris Hajer 97589@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, I can look at the form online if you like.

When I'm already logged in, I am directed to the private page.</p> <p>I added the debug code, but I'm not really sure where I should be seeing this.</p> <p>I appreciate any help.</p> <p>Louise </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/form-direct-to-private-page-with-auto-login#post-92230 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 03:06:16 +0000 Chris Hajer 92230@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>What happened when you tried that code? Did you customize it at all, or just try that as is?</p> <p>To make this apply to just one form, you can do something like this between existing lines 5 and 6:</p> <pre><code>[php] if(117 == $entry[&#39;form_id]( {</code></pre> <p>And then close that conditional between lines 14 and 15. That would make the code run only for entries submitted via form 117. Change that form ID to your own form ID.</p> <p>To debug your sign on function, I would assign the object returned by wp_signon to a variable, then check that for errors. Something like this (change line 10 and then add to it):</p> <pre><code>[php] $user = wp_signon( array( &#39;user_login&#39; =&gt; &#39;freeitem&#39;, &#39;user_password&#39; =&gt; &#39;samplepassword&#39;, &#39;remember&#39; =&gt; false ) ); // see what $user contains, as a debugging step var_dump($user); // or, check for an error if ( is_wp_error($user) ) echo $user-&gt;get_error_message();</code></pre>
