Hello,
I have been having problems with instructors and students logging in. Every time they fill in their username and password, it redirects them to the Wordpress login page where they have to do the same thing over again. I would really like to avoid the users interacting with any direct wordpress dialogs.
How can i rectify this please?
@deoalade,
Try clearing the browser as well as server cache and browse cookies.
Try disabling the third party plugin and if you succeed, then this means one of your plugins was causing the issue.
This mostly happens because of caching issues. While we have addressed them in the 3.4 update.
Try enabling ajax login at WP Admin - WPLMS - BuddyPress
Thank you the Buddypress tip worked. however when a user logs in the page refreshes nd the user appears to still be logged out
only when the page is refreshed manually does this change
Hi,
This is the browser cache issue. When the user login then the same page is refreshed and therefore browser simply loads the already loaded page. But when you refresh again then it loads the page from the server.
You can enable the login redirect to address this issue. Go to wp-admin->lms->settings->student login redirect and instructor login redirect.
Thank you for your response, however I still have major caching issues with the website. For instance, when a user is logged in to their dashboard and return to the homepage or all courses page they appear to be logged out and often can't start the course.
It is quite tedious telling each student to reload the page with many students claiming the site just doesn't work. any fixes for this please?
Well if you have used caching in past using any plugin then please follow this link to clean cache completely :

Then disable the browser caching, and page caching in your site for a while.
Also you need to contact your webhost and ask them if they have enabled the browser cache from their end too .
