I am trying to: Automatically log in the user after they've submitted the user creation CRED form.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link

For context, I attempted the solution presented here: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/automatically-log-in-user-after-created/#post-621650

Not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong, but it didn't quite work as expected.

I'm just trying to have a seamless transition between account creation via the frontend user CRED form, and access to a post CRED form.

In my functions.php, I replaced "if ( 6 ==" with "if ( 820 ==" thinking that the "6" represented the form ID.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Could you please check now. The issue was user_login field is not available on your CRED form.

That is why we need to adjust the code you added to your current theme's functions.php file - as given under:

add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'tssupp_cred_autologin', 10, 2 );
 
function tssupp_cred_autologin( $post_id, $form_data ){
 
    if ( 820 == $form_data['id'] ) { // Edit as required
		
 
        if ( !empty( $_POST['user_email'] ) && !empty( $_POST['user_pass'] ) ) {
 
			$user_login = explode("@",$_POST['user_email']);
			
            // get the user credentials from the $_POST object
            $user = array(
                'user_login'    =>   $user_login[0],
                'user_password' =>   $_POST['user_pass'],
                'remember'      =>   true
            );
            $login = wp_signon( $user, false );
 
            if ( is_wp_error($login) ) {
                error_log( $login->get_error_message() );
            }
 
        }
    }
}

I can see now, when you register the user - its successfully logged in. Couldy ou please confirm it works at your end as well.
