Level: InitiatedPosts: 17There is an action you want to execute only the first time the user logs in.
What’s wrong with the code below?
` function my_add_meta( $user_id, $key, $user ) {
add_user_meta( $user_id, ‘first_login’, ‘not_yet’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_core_activated_user’, ‘my_add_meta’, 10, 3 );function my_check_meta( $redirect_to, $redirect_to_raw, $user ) {
$meta = get_user_meta( $user->ID, ‘first_login’, true );
if ( $meta == ” ) {
// After the second time actions
} else {
// First time actions
delete_user_meta( $user->ID, ‘first_login’ );
}
}
add_filter( ‘bp_login_redirect’, ‘my_check_meta’, 10, 3 ); `- Level: InitiatedPosts: 17
Or I tried the code below, but it did not work.
function buddydev_create_post_on_activation( $user_id, $key, $user ) { // get user name $user_data = get_user_by( 'id', bp_loggedin_user_id() )->data; $user_nicename = = $user_data->user_nicename; // create slug $new_slug = 'first-topic-' . $user_nicename; // create topic $post_value = array( 'post_name' => $new_slug, 'post_type' => 'topic', 'post_author' => $userid, 'post_title' => 'first topic', 'post_content' => 'This topic was created when you registered.', 'post_category' => array(1,5), 'tags_input' => array('tag1','tag2'), 'post_status' => 'publish' ); wp_insert_post($post_value); } add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'buddydev_create_post_on_activation', 10, 3 ); - Level: InitiatedPosts: 17
Although it will work, but since it is executed with the number of times to access the login screen before logging in, articles are posted many times.
function first_login_check( $redirect_to, $not_used, $user ) { // After the second time actions if( bp_get_user_last_activity( $user->ID ) !== '' ) { // nothing much } // First time actions else{ // get user name $user_data = get_user_by( 'id', bp_loggedin_user_id() )->data; $user_nicename = = $user_data->user_nicename; // create slug $new_slug = 'first-topic-' . $user_nicename; // create topic $post_value = array( 'post_name' => $new_slug, 'post_type' => 'topic', 'post_author' => $userid, 'post_title' => 'first topic', 'post_content' => 'This topic was created when you registered.', 'post_category' => array(1,5), 'tags_input' => array('tag1','tag2'), 'post_status' => 'publish' ); wp_insert_post($post_value); } exit(); } add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'first_login_check', 20, 3 ); 
Level: Yogi(BuddyDev Team)Posts: 3115Hello,
Please try the following code and let me know if it works or not.
/** * Create post on activation * * @param int $user_id User id. */ function buddydev_create_post_on_activation( $user_id ) { $user = get_user_by( 'ID', $user_id ); $user_nicename = $user->user_nicename; // create slug $new_slug = 'first-topic-' . $user_nicename; // create topic $post_value = array( 'post_name' => $new_slug, 'post_type' => 'topic', 'post_author' => $user_id, 'post_title' => 'first topic', 'post_content' => 'This topic was created when you registered.', 'post_category' => array( 1, 5 ), 'tags_input' => array( 'tag1', 'tag2' ), 'post_status' => 'publish', ); wp_insert_post( $post_value ); } add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'buddydev_create_post_on_activation', 10 );Thank You

Thank you for the quick response.
The code you presented did not work.
I wrote it in “wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bp-custom.php”.
I confirmed the topic list at the timing when the user registered and logged in the first time.
There seems to be no error in particular.
Regards.

Hi,
Do you want some code to be run when a user’s account is activated or when a user logs in to the site for the first time? Both are different cases.Please let me know and I will assist.

Hi, Brajesh.
How are you?
Nice to hear from you.
I hope your family are doing well.
It’s getting much colder here in Tokyo.
I want to when a user logs in to the site for the first time.

Hi maimaimemain,
Thank you. I am doing well. Hope you are doing well too.Sincerely appreciate the kind words and concern.
Wow, I never knew Tokyo is so much colder in day(Googled it):)
About the code:- It needs slight update. Here is a another version(with a different hook)
function buddydev_custom_first_login_action( $redirect_to, $redirect_url_specified, $user ) { //check if we have a valid user and bp exists? if ( is_wp_error( $user ) || ! function_exists( 'bp_get_user_last_activity' ) ) { return $redirect_to; } //check for user's last activity $last_activity = bp_get_user_last_activity( $user->ID ); if ( empty( $last_activity ) ) { // since BuddyPress did not record activity earlier, This is our first login. // you can put any action here. } return $redirect_to; // please do not forget to return it. } add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'buddydev_custom_first_login_action', 110, 3 );You can put any code inside that if block to execute, and it should.
Please give it a try. If it does not work, Please post me the modified code and I will assist quickly.
PS:- The strategy from your first post will work too, we just need to slightly modify that. I liked the simplicity of that strategy.
Best regards
