   made a subscriber, it took me back to the webpage ( as if im not subscribed )
 * so basically.
    Im signing in as a subscriber, but then it shows i havent signed

 * Possible the plugin you are using to log the subscriber in from your dashboard
   is redirecting you back to the blog itself.
 * If you deactive the plugin what happens?
 * If you continue this thread, please provide a link to the plugin that is showing
   the login in your sidebar.

 * Hey, i deactivated the plug-in and then activated it again.
    I then changed it
   from Subscriber to contributer, and that seems to work fine.
 * I will continue to make everyone on my site a contributer ( im lucky that my 
   site is all about contributing i guess )
 * But for other people that have this problem, Subscriber still didnt work.
 * Thankyou for the help though

 * Im sorry, im new at this. I guess i should have placed this question in the
    (
   sidebar-login) forum its a widget that goes in your side bar to make it easier
   signing in on your website for authors / and others
 * When I changed the settings for people to sign up on my website from (subscriber,
   to contributer)
 * It worked fine. Luckily my website is all about contributing, and editing anyway.

 * [@zukny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zukny/) – Thats probably a bad idea;
   you don’t want strangers messing with your content. Ive read some places that
   they used the role manager plugin to repair this bug by changing the level of
   the subscriber user.
 * Im not entirely sure why this bug happens (it does not affect everyone), you 
   could check the user’s level is shown by wordpress by doing the following. This
   is the check the plugin does to see if your logged in:
 * if ($user_ID != ”) {
 * maybe you could see if it outputs a user level at all when your a subscriber?
   You could check by putting the following code above that line in the plugin (
   line 107):
 * echo ‘The user ID is ‘.$user_ID.’.’;
 * That may reveal the problem – please post your results.

 * Hey, just saw this.
    I went back, and placed the code: echo ‘The user ID is ‘.
   $user_ID.’.’; right before line 107
 * and i made a test screen name for my website, and everything came up fine!
 * only weird thing is, it tells me the user id number above… but i personaly dont
   think thats an issue.
 * thanks alot for the help 🙂
