Automatically Log-In User After Registration And Payment

Gravity Support Forums » Plugin Support » Gravity Forms User Registration Add-On

Hi,

I tried searching the forums but no one seemed to have this issue. I read that you can automatically log-in the user after registration so he doesn't need to manually log-in. I tried other member's solutions but nothing worked.

I'm working on a registration form that requires the users to pay via the Paypal plugin. Once the payment has been made, it's only then the user will be registered.

What I want to do, is to automatically log-in the user after payment. Is there a way that I can accomplish this? Is it also possible with the PayPal Pro add-in? Because I plan to switch to it in the future.

Thanks!

With the PayPal Standard add-on, there is currently no way to automatically log the user in after returning from PayPal because the password is not stored.

With the PayPal Pro add-on, you could do this because the visitor never left your site. Let us know when you switch to the PayPal Pro add-on and we can help you at that point.

Thanks for the reply. I decided to go ahead and use the Paypal Pro addon. Can you teach me how to do it?

There are several solutions posted in these forums.

I use this in my theme's functions.php:
```
[php]
add_action("gform_user_registered", "autologin", 10, 4);
function autologin($user_id, $config, $entry, $password) {
        wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id, false, '');
}
```
