I made my own custom login page then trying to login to that WP user's dashboard using wp_signon() function.
function custom_login()
{
if (isset($_POST['submitlogin'])) {
$login_data = array();
$login_data['user_login'] = sanitize_user($_POST['txtEmail']);
$login_data['user_password'] = $_POST['txtPass'];
$user = wp_signon($login_data, false);
if (is_wp_error($user)) {
echo $user->get_error_message();
} else {
wp_clear_auth_cookie();
do_action('wp_login', $user->ID);
wp_set_current_user($user->ID);
wp_set_auth_cookie($user->ID, true);
$redirect_to = 'https://www.google.com/';
wp_redirect($redirect_to);
exit;
}
}
}
custom_login();
After dumping wp_set_current_user($user->ID); I can see the user's data.
