As a workaround, I’ve added the following to my functions.php:
add_action('woocommerce_registration_redirect', 'user_autologout', 2);
/* Stop auto login */
function user_autologout(){
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $current_user->ID;
$approved_status = get_user_meta($user_id, 'wp-approve-user', true);
//if the user hasn't been approved yet by WP Approve User plugin, destroy the cookie to kill the session and log them out
if ( $approved_status == 1 ){
return $redirect_url;
}
else{
wp_logout();
return get_permalink(woocommerce_get_page_id('myaccount')) . "?approved=false";
}
}
}
add_filter('woocommerce_registration_redirect', 'user_autologout', 2);
function registration_message(){
$not_approved_message = '<p class="registration">Send in your registration application today!<br /> NOTE: Your account will be held for moderation and you will be unable to login until it is approved.</p>';
if( isset($_REQUEST['approved']) ){
$approved = $_REQUEST['approved'];
if ($approved == 'false') echo '<p class="registration successful">Registration successful! You will be notified upon approval of your account.</p>';
else echo $not_approved_message;
}
else echo $not_approved_message;
}
add_action('woocommerce_before_customer_login_form', 'registration_message', 2);
