Account Login / Refresh Issue

    Hey guys, I’m getting frustrated on a account registration/login issue. I’m hoping someone has a good suggestion to help me. So once a user completes an account registration form, they are redirected to a job application (which requires the user to be logged in to see). However, when I’ve been testing it, the redirect works, but the job application doesn’t see me as logged in….unless I refresh the page. I can duplicate this almost everytime. It’s like the redirect is happening to fast before the website actually logs me in. I’m not sure if this makes sense, but is this something anyone could assist me with? I don’t understand why the page won’t recognize the user as being logged in, even though their account is created successfully (confirmed from looking in the wordpress users section) unless I refresh the page to see the job application again. Only then will it recognize the logged in user. Help!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Do you have any cache plugins enabled?
    If so, can you put an exception on the job application form page?

    That is an excellent suggestion! I do have a cache plugin installed: W3 Total Cache. Would I just enter the entire url for the exception. I see a few defaults already listed in the exception list but that are all .php listings.

    Goto Performance>Page cache, scroll down to advanced where you will see “Never cache following pages:” field and then enter https://yourdomain.com/url/. <- /. is the thing that says don’t cache anything after /url/

    Under the Login/Register User Action, make sure the option “LOGIN USER UPON SUCCESSFUL REGISTRATION” is enabled. This setting is under the Advanced settings of the Action.

    I have added the exception for the application page, but the issue still happens. Is there something else I’m missing?

    The “login user upon successful registration” is enabled. It’s just that once they submit their account registration, the site doesn’t recognize them as logged in unless they refresh the page.

    Any other ideas or suggestions?
