Remember Me Checkbox

[clogic]

Sorry if I’m missing something really obvious, but I can’t see a way to add a “Remember Me” checkbox to my login form. Shouldn’t it be there by default, or be an option? I see in the User Meta setting an option to remove “Disable lost password feature” but nothing for the “Remember Me” feature.

Please let me know how to resolve this. Thank you!

Hello,

There are two ways to use UMP login shortcode.
1. [user-meta type=”login”]
This shortcode doesn’t indicate any form name, if you use this shortcode, a login form with username/email, pasword and Remember me field will generated automatically.

2. If you like to do more customization for your login form, then you can assign a form with login shortcode, In that case login shortcode will be like this: [user-meta type=”login” form=”Your Login Form”]
If your assign a form to login shortcode then login form will not automatically add any field to login form, It will use only those fields which are found into your assigned form. So you have to drag a Username, Passwoord field to your form and for Remember Me, use a checkbox field and use meta_key “remember” for that field.

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply! I am using #2 as you had already really helped me out with setting up a redirect for my login form/page.

However, when I add a checkbox, the field only sort of shows up in the login form. In the HTML on the login form I only get a “Remember Me” label, no input (checkbox).

This is not essential, so no rush on this, but is there something else I need to do to get this working?

Thanks!

Sorry, I see what I have to do now! I added the field label, but I needed to instead use the Field Options to do something like, “1=Remember Me”.

Thanks again, great support for this plugin!

Hello,

I have a simple login form with a Remember Me checkbox configured as meta_key=remember and having a single Option as 1=Remember Me

The issue is that the checkbox does not in fact remember the user following login. If I visit the login page and complete the form and check “Remember Me” and then login and then logout and revisit the login page I do not see the checkbox checked nor is my username populated in the form.

What am I missing? It just doesn’t seem to work. I’ve even tried using the default shortcode with type=”login” and no form name – the checkbox renders but doesn’t do anything or work 🙁

Any thoughts??
