# Sync Works except for Login functionality

 * I am connecting two sites (one is a subdomain of the other) with WP Remote Users
   Sync. Site A is a sales site, Site B is course site.
 * I’ve set up the plugin on both sites and it almost works perfectly. I can create,
   update, and so on between the two sites. I’ve even set it up so I can delete 
   a user from one site without deleting from the other.
 * What isn’t working is the LOGIN syncing. Strangely, the LOGOUT works fine.
    I
   am using the Ultimate Member social plugin to manage login, logout, profile, 
   etc. Ultimate Member provides a custom login, logout, user, and other similar
   pages that are instead of the wp-login.php or wp-admin.php and the admin bar 
   is hidden.
 * I’m wondering if the login is some how NOT using the standard WordPress functionality(
   but the logout is using it?). Any ideas? Or maybe I set something up incorrectly?
 * To the plugin developer, Alexandre Froger, are you potentially available to help(
   paid) in getting this to work?
 * Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

 * Hi [@laiprogramdir](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laiprogramdir/) ,
 * Apologies for the late reply, I have kept my involvement to WPRUS core bug fixes
   lately due to a lack of free time.
 * I do not have time to take on more work at the time beyond core plugin bug fixes.
 * I have tested the plugin with Ultimate Member in the past with success – if you
   have discovered an edge case and found a solution, contributions are welcome 
   on Github to speed things up.
 * Also I need to mention that paid work is not to be discussed on WordPress support
   forums according to forum guidelines.

 * Hi all,
 * Thanks [@frogerme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frogerme/) for your response!
   I figured out what the issue is (and it came from my own lack of understanding
   of the way this plugin and browsers in general work). Everything now works.
 * For anyone else who may encounter something similar and not be super tech savvy,
   to make sure the login from site A carries over to site B, you have to link directly
   from site A to site B so that the login (cookie?) is preserved. It WON’T work
   if you open a new browser window or a different browser and type in the other
   site.
 * So, the use case looks like:
    Login to site A, click link on site A that takes
   you to site B (and you are logged in). OR Login to site B, click link on site
   B that takes you to site A (and you are logged in).
 * Logout works from either site. You can open other site in a new window as long
   as the tab is opened from the first site.
 * Thanks for this plugin!

 * Hi [@laiprogramdir](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laiprogramdir/) !
    Great,
   glad it’s working!
 * Regarding the rest of the answer: you are right when it comes to login sync in
   different browsers: it indeed cannot work. In a different tab though, after logging
   in on one site and letting the page load, then switch tab and reload the page
   of the second site, login will also sync.
