Buddypress not recognizing eMember login without double refresh

[trock]

We’re using Buddypress on 2 different sites – each with a different theme – and on both of them with eMember, when a member logs in, the page refreshes and the eMember widget reports that he is logged in but he doesn’t have access to Buddypress functionality such as posting to the Activity Stream on the home page.

If he refreshes the page a 2nd time, then he does have Buddypress functionality.

WP integration is enabled and we don’t have this same behavior when using Wishlist (which we want to replace with eMember).

Anything else we need to do in the setup to get this working properly? Thanks.

It might be a plugin load order related issue. Maybe buddypress login check is happening way before eMember actually logs the member in. I will send you an email to get site access so we can check this out.

Thanks, will send shortly.

Basically, there is a bit of a plugin load order issue here. BuddyPress is generating that page before eMember log in action happens. Using an “After Login” redirection should help.

Please go to the “Page/Forms Settings” menu of eMember and specify a URL in the “After Login Redirection” page (it could even be this same page). This should help resolve this issue (from users point of view they won’t know the difference).

Thanks, that looked promising. Unfortunately it didn’t change the behavior – and strangely, the page doesn’t actually redirect after login (probably connected with the same BuddyPress action that you mention).

You had the “Enable After login Redirection” checkbox unchecked from the settings menu. The redirection feature needs to be enabled from the general settings.

Thank you so much! It works now
