Disable auto-login after registration

Hello @ovidiu-zeicu

You can set the user role to require admin approval after registration that way they won’t be logged in after registration and you can approve them later from the wp-admin > users area.

To set Registration Status , you can navigate to wp-admin > ultimate member > user roles > (edit role) > scroll to registration options section > change the option on “Registration Status” setting.

Thank you for your reply @aswingiri.

That’s the way I’ve set it a couple of days ago, but it’s not good enough. I’m not the only one adding the users and the others are not very technical and they’re struggling. I’ve also created custom role for them with just enough permissions to access dashboard to approve their users, but they’re still complaining. They usually add their users on the fly from the phone and it’s hard for them to navigate.

The ideal setup would be to just add user data in registration form, submit the form and be done with it.

So I’m still looking for a way to achieve that.

You can try this code snippet and add it to your child-theme’s functions.php file or by using the “Code Snippets” plugin.

Code snippet:

add_action( 'um_registration_complete', 'um_registration_complete_custom', 10, 2 );

function um_registration_complete_custom( $user_id, $args ) {

    $url = UM()->permalinks()->get_current_url();
    exit( wp_redirect( $url ) );
}

@missveronicatv that did the trick.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for letting us know.

Can you perhaps add this solution to your documentation? I am implementing the same setup as the OP, meaning setting up a user role that just registering users via the frontend while auto approve is enabled, and I wanted to prevent the auto login after registration. I had to scour the web to end up here… This solution does not appear anywhere else.

Just a suggestion. Thank you!
