When I try to login as a customer it does nothing!

If I use a valid email address and password it reloads the page but doesn't log me in or display an error.

If I use an invalid email address and password it shows me the usual ‘account doesn't exist’ error message.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

The issue is raising because the custom login form does not contain any form_key and there is a form key validation happening in loginPostAction of magento.

Step 1 : Open template/customer/form/login.phtml and template/persistent/customer/form/login.phtml and under.

Step 2 : Add the Below Line in <ul class="form-list">.

<input type="hidden" name="form_key" value="<?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey(); ?>" />

Step 3 : Refresh your Cache and Now test.

Enjoy :)

  • I've disabled all extensions via their XML under app/etc/modules and it still doesn't work. Not sure what it could be because all my sessions within the admin panel work perfectly fine.

Try to log on using incognito / anonymous mode. Or wipe your browser session data. It happens now and then.

Give read and write permissions to your sessions folder if you are using files and if it does not work change your session path to db. Check your cookie path after clearing them. Try to login in te admin and check the behavior there too.

  • Tried the file permissions but still no luck. Would you be able to elaborate further on the session path to db please? Many thanks.

  • Open your ap/etc/local.xml file and change the <session_save><![CDATA[files]]></session_save> to <session_save><![CDATA[db]]></session_save>
