Affiliate Login on WordPress.com

[Farid]

I’m having issues with the Affiliate login being redirected to the WordPress.com login.

I’ve seen a couple of posts regarding this issue but none of them have provided a solution or a definite answer so I figured I’d bring this topic up again as I’m sure there are a lot of people trying to use this plugin on WordPress.com

I had a chat with WordPress.com support who say that since WP Affiliate Manager creates a WordPress user the user would have to first login to WordPress.com and then login to the WP Affiliate, which is exactly what’s happening right now.
On a self-hosted version of WordPress there is no redirection to to WP login though.

So, my question is, is there a workaround or it this just the way it is? If you’re site is on WordPress.com and you’re using WP Affiliate Manager, the affiliates would first have to login to WordPress.com and then login to the Affiliate system?

Would be great to hear how others who faced the same issue solved it.

@Farid, The affiliate login form in our plugin is actually generated by WordPress. Our plugin only tells WordPress where to redirect to (affiliate homepage) once this form is submitted and the login is successful. This ensures that the affiliate login doesn’t interfere with your default WordPress login or other functionalities of your website.

Can anyone change how this login works? Yes. The login from comes from WordPress and like all the core WordPress functionalities it can be customized with action hooks and filters. Another script on your site can easily change what happens after a login without making any changes to our code. The only way to resolve this is if:

1) the script in question fixes the code and customizes its own login functionality (instead of affecting all logins to your site)
or
2) the script is deactivated
or
3) there is an option in the script that you can select to prevent it from applying these changes globally
