Problem with Login shortcode and widget

Toimata

Hello,

2 questions about the secure login form shortcode 🙂
http://mafayo.wpengine.com/

1/ When user are login in, there are redireted on the wordpress login page and must login again. I'd like they just fill the forms one time and then get redirected where i defined it in the AAM configuration (url of the homepage after login)

2/ When logged in, how to remove the "Dashboard" and "Edit my profil" links on the shortcode space ?

Thanks for your help !

Toimata ok. Let's figure it out.

It appears that you've created multiple threads on the forum for the same issue, so moving forward, let's use this thread to solve your case. Also, just based on the username, you were fast on rating AAM on the official WP repository, and based on the review, I'm not quite sure if you still need support.

However, let's go with the assumption that you actually need support.

When user is login in, there are redirected on the WordPress login page and must login again. I'd like they just fill the forms one time and then get redirected where I defined it in the AAM configuration (url of the homepage after login)

That is a quite odd issue that typically could be caused by either caching or some other plugin/theme that interferes with WP login functionality. In theory, if authentication is completed successfully, the page is just reloaded. In the other thread, you've posted username/password to do some testing. Please, do not include any sensitive information in the forum. It is removed immediately. If you can email us your admin credentials to your site, I can quickly check your access settings and run quick tests. Use support@aamplugin.com email.

When logged in, how to remove the "Dashboard" and "Edit my profile" links on the shortcode space?

You can simply create a new capability aam_access_dashboard and make sure that it is not assigned to roles that should not have access to the backend. This way "Secure Login" widget will not show the "Dashboard" and "Edit my profile" links.

Toimata please, do not create other forum topic and use this one.

I believe I was able to find the problem and will be able to deploy a fix shortly as well as provide more details. I'll keep you updated.

As a quick update. The problem has been resolved in the 6.0.4 release.

Hello,

I sent bad review because i had no answer from support after many mny days and made me feel so lonely and angry. Also i lost a lot of time.
I'll change this review soon when i can configure my website properly and dellivery to my client.

Please, even if you'r working on the issue, next time just send a quick message to tell me you're working on this.

Thanks a lot for fixing it ! it works now !

Same issue when logout from this widget : when user click on "Logout" button in the widget, he is not logged out and is also redirected to the wordpress login page.

You can simply create a new capability aam_access_dashboard and make sure that it is not assigned to roles that should not have access to the backend. This way "Secure Login" widget will not show the "Dashboard" and "Edit my profile" links.

I tried to do it reading the documentation but still don't understand how to do it.
Could you give me more precise instruction ?

Thanks a lot !

Toimata thank you for the additional information. Based on the provided details, I was able to identify another issue with the latest AAM 6.0.4 release.

Indeed, the logout redirect is not working. This is due to the fact that AAM hooks into the WordPress core action set_current_user that is fired before wp_logout action. Logout Redirect service depends on the second action and by that time, the current user is no longer the actual user but unauthenticated visitor. That is why AAM did not know how to retrieve proper logout redirect settings.

This issue was solved and will be released with AAM 6.0.5 shortly.

To answer your send question regarding aam_access_dashboard capability, I can add that you simply need to create this capability on the Capabilities tab for the Administrator role. All other roles and users that do not belong to the Administrator role, will no longer have access to the backend area of the site unless you explicitly assign this capability. AAM widget checks for this capability and if it is not assigned, any links that refer to the backend area (Dashboard, My Profile, etc.) will no longer be rendered.

I sent bad review because I had no answer from support after many many days and made me feel so lonely and angry. Also, I lost a lot of time. I'll change this review soon when I can configure my website properly and delivery to my client.

Any review is just a review. The only thing that I can add here, that in your case it was unfair to state that there is no support at all. It just happened that your need for support aligned with the major AAM release that resulted in large amount of support requests. Yes, I was able to process your questions with delay, however it was still within the expected time frame (3-10 days as stated on the support page https://aamplugin.com/support).

While for the most part, I personally do not want to care about reviews, I understand the fact that lots of people "judge book by its cover". In our case, they'll just AAM by a number of positive reviews.

Thank you again for the feedback. It was extremely helpful and thank you for your patience.
