Logout

[strifemut]

Hi
I noticed that after testing a login that the user stayed logged in even when the browser was closed. How do I force logout when user closes website?

Hi, are you currently using a cache plugin in your site? If you are have you configured the cache plugin to exclude any membership URLs?

What happens if you delete the browser cache and carry out another test like the one you did above? What happens?

[strifemut]

Firefox deletes all history on exit automatically. I am not using a cache plugin but am considering it. The problem still exists.

[mbrsolution]

So you are saying that when you use Firefox and you close the browser without login out, if you open the browser and navigate to the set the person is still logged in?

[strifemut]

Yes that is correct. I believe there maybe a conflict when I am logged into WordPress. However that should only impact me. The problem occurred for someone accessing the site using the login I set up for them.

I may have cured part of this issue and have to wait while I get other people to check it works. There is a conflict if I a signed in to WordPress as admin. Can this be changed?

This is the message I get.

Warning! Simple Membership plugin cannot process this login request to prevent you from getting logged out of WP Admin accidentally.

You are logged into the site as an ADMIN user in this browser. First, logout from WP Admin then you will be able to log in as a member.

Alternatively, you can use a different browser (where you are not logged-in as ADMIN) to test the membership login.

Your normal visitors or members will never see this message. This message is ONLY for ADMIN user.

Hi can you check the following documentation if you have not already done so. Let me know if this helps you.

Thank you

Hi

I did that and now I get this: This content is not permitted for your membership level.

[mbrsolution]

Hi, make sure you have added the correct membership level for each page or post you are protecting.

Silly me. Forgot I need to change every page.

When I log in it links to the Home Page. Can I change this?

[strifemut]

Ok I think I still have some hair left.

Our members go to our website and login to the members area. This is what happens:

They enter our site and use the Members/Login or Members Only which enables them to log in.
It then links to the Home Page not the Members Only area.
They then have to link to The Members Only page again.
I need it to go to the Members Only page from the login page which then opens on a new tab.

There is definitely a problem because WordPress login and Simple Membership login conflict. I get around this by using two browsers. I am assuming this particular issue only affects e because I am the only person who logs into both as Admin or Adin Access.

Be glad when this is sorted because overall it does a great job but I am concerned if members have login problems. I will find this out before long.

Thnk you. Any help resolving this link to Members Only page instead of Home page would be great.

Hi, please read the following documentation. Let me know if that helps you further.

Hi – I only found the Login Redirection because of the tags at the bottom of the After Login Plugin page. I used the link tag which took me to the additional addon. It would have saved a lot of time if this information was included on the Simple Membership Plugin installation instructions.

Something like “If you want to redirect after login then load this addon plugin.” I notice it has been mentioned before. Crazy because it is an important part of the plugin useful to everybody.

Now for some reason I can login to WordPress and the Members Only section at the same time.

Must be a reason that caused it and I can only guess what it was.

My hair has started growing again. Eureka. It was worth it.

Are there any other hidden gems connected to Simple Membership we should all know about?

Thank you for sticking with us.

I am happy to hear that finally we have one this battle :).

Let me know what else you are after and then I will be able to assist you further.

Kind regards

PS Enjoy the plugin 🙂

Eureka I’ve got it.

I know you are busy and you still do a great job. I will have to disagree about the logging off. In my past I was in charge of IT for a major organisation and leaving anything signed on was a sin and dangerous. In this case it is also a problem because you can’t login when you open the browser because it doesn’t give you the opportunity if it thinks you are already signed on.

I now have it working basically as I wanted just by using the plugin and your input. To overcome the login problem you have to login to the members only section first. Then you can log into WordPress. You can’t log in to WordPress and then the members area because there is conflict somewhere.

Thank you for your time.
