You should add a user option, call it HAS_USER_LOGGED_IN and set the default value to false. You detect this option when the user logs in. If the option is set to false or does not exist, then allow login to log in and set the option to true. Next time, if the user logs in, … Read more
You can get the last inserted id at the time of registration and with this id get the user meta by meta keys you assign and send mail with details.
It looks like a poorly coded hosting-side protection. I say poorly coded because “WordPress” is misspelled and it uses <script language=”javascript”>. Ask your host. This is definitely not WordPress native behaviour. Also, check your document root, as the file seems to be self-contained. It might be an extra HTML file in your document root. Use … Read more
You might be able to make your own login form that bypasses the wp_login() function. This page https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Login_Form , in the “Make a Custom Login” section, might get you started. There are no hooks that I see in the https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.8/src/wp-login.php code that you can use to bypass the password field. So creating your own login … Read more
The wordpress database is still holding some data (post content, image urls etc) in it’s database. You need to go into your database and change the url references to the non-ssl as well. I suggest NOT doing this through phpmyadmin though as it will cause some problems. Go get this tool: https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ Upload the contents … Read more
Have you tried a database migration plugin? WP stores serialized data about the URLs so often simply updating the home and site_url option is not enough. Also try an Incognito window or another browser to see if you have old redirects cached.
You can do this without any plugins rather easily. If you’re only going to have a single page that needs to be accessed with an account created by you, try creating a page template with something like the below. Note: you should create any new account as a subscriber. <?php /* Template Name: Private Page … Read more
There are a few things you can try. One of them you have already tried. Clear your browser cache (which you have stated you have tried), just make sure you cleared everything, cookies and cache. Try deactivating all plugins by either logging in via SSH or FTP to your server and rename wp-content/plugins to wp-content/plugins_backup. … Read more
Never modify WordPress core files directly. You should read up on WP architecture, which is event based. You want to find a correct action and hook into it. You need wp_login and wp_logout action hooks. <?php function your_function() { // create cookie } add_action(‘wp_login’, ‘your_function’); function your_function() { // delete cookie } add_action(‘wp_logout’, ‘your_function’); ?> … Read more
How did you search and replace? If you just used a text editor, some of the data is likely corrupt as WP stores a lot of serialized information – if the new URL contains a different number of characters than the old URL, everything can go sideways fast. It’s safer to use a db migration … Read more
