WP Affiliate: how to have affiliates automatically logged in *without* eMember?

[Chris Aitken]

Today I purchased WP Affiliate and will be integrating with my WP eStore and WP PDF Stamper products. My site, however, runs on Wishlist Member.

I have only told my affiliates about how to access affiliate information from within our site (I’m using the [wp_affiliate_view] shortcode. Is there a way to make WP Affiliate automatically login a member, assuming the affiliate ID is identical to the WordPress user ID and the user is logged into WordPress?

Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris, At the moment there is no option for the affiliate plugin to log the user into WordPress automatically

[Chris Aitken]

Thanks for the quick reply. When I re-read my question, I realized I wasn’t totally clear! What I was trying to ask is the following:

If I have a user already logged into WordPress using the same ID as their affiliate ID, and I’m using the [wp_affiliate_view] shortcode, is there a way to make WP Affiliate automatically login the user to WP Affiliate without having them click the Login button and enter exactly the same username/password as their WordPress ID/password?

Thanks, Chris

That is something I can look into.. it should be doable.

[Chris Aitken]

Thanks so much! That would be incredibly helpful … please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.

Cheers, Chris

I would love to see this as well

I have added an option for this. You can use the newly added option to automatically log in a logged in WP user into the corresponding affiliate account (if they have one). Get a new build of the plugin from here:

https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/update-request

Then do the following to enable this option:

1) Open the “wp_aff_advanced_configs.php” file and look for the following line of code:

define('WP_AFFILIATE_AUTO_LOGIN_WP_USERS', '0');

2) Once you find it change it to the following:

define('WP_AFFILIATE_AUTO_LOGIN_WP_USERS', '1');

That should do it.

awesome awesome awesome. Now is there a way to have people automatically added as affiliates when are added as a wordpress user?

[admin]

No but I will look into that. (You can import your WordPress users as affiliates though)

[Roger MacRae]

yeah and while the import is a great option for the moment it is not viable for the long term. It would be great if you could just have new users automatically added.

We have completed this feature work so whenever a WordPress user is created an affiliate account will also get created for that user. You can find the settings for this feature in the following area:

WP Affiliate Settings -> WP User Settings tab

That’s awesome. Thank you very much. Now just one more thing. Can we make this work both ways.

What I mean by both ways is:

If they register as a wordpress user they are automatically added as an affiliate if they aren’t one already.

or

If they register as an affiliate they are automatically registered as a wordpress user if they aren’t one already.
