Custom Log In, request for reauth on wp-admin

Apparently the wp_set_auth_cookie() function is all that’s required. I placed this into my log in script, and it’s now seamless between log in and admin dashboard.

wp_set_auth_cookie($user_data->ID);

Hi,

We are having the same problem you had. Unfortunately, from your answer I still don’t know how to fix it. Where exactly did you place the line wp_set_auth_cookie($user_data->ID);?

Robin,

I’m storing get_user_by() data in the $user_data variable, and after the wp_signon() is verified is when I call wp_set_auth_cookie($user_data->ID);. The ID is part of the get_user_by() array.

Hope this helps, if so let me know.

You sir, are a gentlemen and a scholar. Thanks! =) Just for kicks, here is a working example after receiving the post from the login form:

if ($_POST) {

    $errors = array();

    $username = $wpdb->escape($_REQUEST['username']);
    $password = $wpdb->escape($_REQUEST['password']);
    $remember = $wpdb->escape($_REQUEST['rememberme']);
    $remember = ($remember) ? "true" : "false";

    $login_data = array();
    $login_data['user_login'] = $username;
    $login_data['user_password'] = $password;
    $login_data['remember'] = $remember;
    $user_verify = wp_signon($login_data, true);

    if (is_wp_error($user_verify)) {
        $errors[] = 'Invalid username or password. Please try again!';
    } else {
        wp_set_auth_cookie($user_verify->ID);

        if(isset($_POST['redirect_to'])){
            $go_to = $_POST['redirect_to'];
        } else {
            $go_to = home_url();
        }

        wp_redirect($go_to);
        exit;
    }

}

thanks getrouty ??
