Developers rejoice! Automatic Login logs you in automatically on your local development installation if the following conditions are met:
- The
WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE
constant is defined as 'local'. - A user exists with the username 'admin' and password 'password'.
Alternatively, the AUTOMATIC_LOGIN_USER_LOGIN
and AUTOMATIC_LOGIN_USER_PASSWORD
constants can be used to define the login credentials for Automatic Login. Note that Automatic Login does not create a user for you and the user should already exist.
// Credentials for the Automatic Login plugin.
define( 'AUTOMATIC_LOGIN_USER_LOGIN', 'mycooluser' );
define( 'AUTOMATIC_LOGIN_USER_LOGIN', 'mycoolpassword' );
Automatic Login is hosted on the WordPress plugin directory and can be installed via the WordPress dashboard.
- Visit the Plugins page within your WordPress dashboard and select ‘Add New’
- Search for 'Automatic Login' and install the plugin
- Activate Automatic Login from your Plugins page
Automatic Login can be added as a dependency to your project via the wpackagist composer repository.
