How do I use the user login API

  • I’ve trying in vain to use the login API. Please can someone help?

    I have created a user login page which consists of a login section and a register section. It’s kind of working except for successful logins!!

    My login function is:
    [code moderated] Please use a pastebin or ensure code is correctly posted inside backticks as indicated in the reply form.

    the originating form points the user at their info page. It checks validity by calling is_user_logged_in() which in turn checks $current_user.

    The problem is that when I click on a link the user is no longer logged in!! $current_user has been reset.

    So what black art does WP use in it's own login forms / pages that makes $current_user stick?
