Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Simple JWT Login – Allows you to use JWT on REST endpoints.
Yes, this plugin is secure. It allows to auto-login to your WordPress website using a JWT, that is decrypted and validated against your JWT Decryption key. Make sure you set the specific user type when new users are created.
Yes, both Auto-login and register can be enabled or disabled.
Yes, You can use the domain limitation and add multiple domains separated by comma. Users that don't provide an email from that domain, will get an error.
Yes. The only thing you have to make sure, in order to work, is that you use the same "Decryption Key" and encryption algorithm.
No, it is not required. You can disable it from 'Login config', 'Register Config' and 'Delete User Config'. Just set the parameter 'Login|Register requires Auth Code' to 'No'.
The 'delete users option' is disabled by default. To make sure nobody will delete a user, please make sure the option "Allow Delete" is set to "No".
Yes. The main feature of this plugin is to automatically log in users into a WordPress website using a JWT. So, you can log in into WordPress from mobile apps, react native, angular, Vue js, meteor, backbone, javascript, etc.
Here is a code example, how to send an email after a new user has been created. add_action( 'simple_jwt_login_register_hook', function($user, $password){ $to = $user->user_email; $subject = 'Welcome'; $message = ' Welcome to My Site. Your new user credentials are: email: ' . $to .' password: '. $password; wp_mail($to, $subject, $message); }, 10, 2); Here is an example on how you can overwrite the "No Redirect" response after autologin: add_filter('simple_jwt_login_no_redirect_message',function($response, $request){ $response['userId'] = get_current_user_id(); $response['userDetails'] = wp_get_current_user(); return $response; },10, 2); Here is an example, on how you can change the body for reset password email template: add_filter('simple_jwt_login_reset_password_custom_email_template', function ($template, $request) { $template .= 'The template has been modified by hook'; return $template; }, 10, 2 );
The plugin searches for the JWT in: - URL ( &jwt=YOUR JWT HERE) - SESSION ( $_SESSION['simple-jwt-login-token']) - COOKIE ( $_COOKIE['simple-jwt-login-token'] ) - Header ( Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_HERE) Also, the key name for each parameter, can be changed in the general section.
Yes. In order to be able to create different users with different roles, first you have to create some AUTH Codes, and set the desired roles for each Auth Code. After that, for the create user route, simply add the AUTH code in the request, and the role from 'Register User' will be overwritten with the one from Auth Code.
