Gravity Perks Gravity Forms Auto Login

What Does It Do?
The Auto Login perk automates the process of logging users in after they have registered through a Gravity Form on your site. Moreover, this perk preserves the existing form confirmation options, allowing you to display a text confirmation, redirect to a WordPress page, or redirect to a URL with minimal effort.

How Can I Enable This Functionality?
To enable this perk, you’ll need the User Registration Add-On for Gravity Forms. Once installed and activated, navigate to the User Registration page.

On the User Registration page, create a new feed as you typically would for an existing feed. Scroll to the bottom of your feed settings and locate the “Auto Login” option in the “Additional Options” section. Check the corresponding checkbox to enable the Auto Login functionality for this feed. With this option enabled, any user registered through this feed will automatically be logged in when the form is submitted.

Redirecting After Login
The auto-login functionality operates behind the scenes, and the form’s configured confirmation settings remain unaffected. If you wish to redirect the user to another page after they have been automatically logged in, you can configure the URL in the “Confirmation” section of your Form Settings.

How Does It Work with GF User Registration “Pending Activations”?
With GP Auto Login v1.2, auto-login after the user has activated their account is now automatically supported (assuming the option is enabled on the User Registration feed). However, there is one caveat. The default activation template packaged with Gravity Forms (and modeled after WordPress’ version) does not automatically log in the user upon registration.
