Auto log-in after e-mail verification

I want to have new users auto logged in after they click the registration e-mail verification link. Can you suggest a way to achieve this please.

Hi Robert,

Please paste following code to your functions.php

function loginAfterEmailVerification( $userID ) {
    wp_set_auth_cookie( $userID );
}
add_action( 'user_meta_email_verified', 'loginAfterEmailVerification' );

Thanks.

Hi Khaled

I tried the function.

When I click the e-mail verify link, I get take back to a page called ‘verify-email’ and see the message;

‘Your email is successfully verified and the account has been activated. Click here to login’

However, when I click to any other page on the site from the menu then I can see that I am already logged in.

So is the page ‘verify-email’ the standard redirect? It appears to be a blank page created during the met-user install.

Can I redirect to another page instead?

Regards

Robert
