Login Issues

Wordpress 4.8.3, BuddyPress 2.9.2, self hosted on an Apache (shared) server.

I really want this to work but I install WP and BP without errors. I set ‘activity’ as a static front page. I test the site (there are no other users) and all looks OK.

I logout. I login. The page still appears to be logged out. The page doesn’t refresh to the ‘activity’ page with me as logged in.

I have tried with themes twentyfifteen, sixteen and seventeen.

I’ve searched the entire internet for a solution, not just here, and many people suggest redirect plugins. I’ve tried a few but it doesn’t work for me.

Some solutions suggest bp_custom code. I tried and it didn’t work.

The only solution I sort of found for myself was to place a “who’s online” widget on the page. After I login (and appear logged out) I click the link in the widget to my profile page. Then I can return to the home page and see I am logged in, BUT even that sometimes fails.

Please, someone, tell me what causes this incorrect login issue and how to finally resolve it.

There are a few non-BuddyPress reasons I can think of for this:

• The page is cached by WP Super Cache or a similar plugin
• Your shared server has some sort of caching built-in (like object caching or expires headers)
• Your browser is using the cached version from your last visit to that page (try a different browser to test)

The setup you describe works ok for me on my local test (no caching enabled) installation. You might contact your hosting company to see what is enabled on your shared server.

having same issue, I know what your seen. I login and some links work clear cache and all is good. login again or new user and they links keep going back to register page.

Have you found a solution.
I have not installed any 3rd part cache for WP either.
