gd_login Problem

Hello,

I can’t connect with those FTP details, not getting any errors, it’s just timing out.

Hi Craig,

I have tried to narrow it down and it seem to be that if $_POST[‘redirect_to’] is set then it redirects too early, however i can’t replicate this on any of my test sites, i tried to dig into the core WP files on your server but it seems i dont have the ability to change them, if you can give me access to those i will try and debug it again, otherwise i could give you a hackish quick fix but it wont help in the long run when u update.

Hi Craig,

Here is what i have learned from testing.

Firstly everything seems to be working in our code as it should, the main login page has a redirect_to option which should redirect you to the page you came from or a specified page, the login widget sets this value to the login page as default and does not have a redirect value that changes.

The actual signon in both cases works, the user object is created with no errors, the widget login then redirects back to the login page which you cant be on if you are logged in so you get redirected home, where as the login page redirects you to where you came from, it seems to be this second visit to the login page that is setting the correct login for the widget, from my tests the PHP session ID is being changed when submitting a login and there for instantly signs you out.

So basically the session ID changing is causing the problem and the cookie is not set right. This has to be a server issue as far as i can tell, i would ask your server admin whats going on with the session id changing, and i would play with the php.ini session settings, when i looked at them, it seemed to reference memcach in the save handler, which i guess could be related to the problem.

Keep us updated on how you get on and what the fix was in case it ever happens to anyone else.

Thanks,
