Tell us what you are trying to do? Use the auto login snipped from various forum posts. It works when the form option to 'auto-generate password' is off, but doesn't work when the option is active. Is there a way I can use the auto login while still auto generating a password?

Is there any documentation that you are following? https://toolset.com/forums/topic/auto-log-in-after-sign-up-with-user-form/

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Many thanks

Hello Matt and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The example code from the ticket you have mentioned won't work for you, because that code provides an empty password, which is wrong, because a password was generated.

You will have to adapt the code to automatically log in the user without password, the following part of the code must be changed:

$user = array(
                'user_login'    =>   $_POST['user_email'],
                'user_password' =>   $_POST['user_pass'],
                'remember'      =>   true
            );
            $login = wp_signon( $user, false );

Instead, you can use one of the techniques described in these pages:

I hope this helps. Let us know your feedback.
