Question

I have a form in /views/wp_users/login.php that asks for the login information. But now since I am reading the login information from cookies I need to get rid of the form. But I am not sure how to make it that the when users come to localhost/wordpress/myapp/wp_users they get redirected to index page instead of login

here is my controller

Edit:

just changed the function to login and it works.

You need to modify your login action and manually load the data into the Auth component

function login() {
   if (DO_COOKIE_CHECK) {
      //read cookie data. If user is verified load up the user data and set it with 
      // the Auth Components login method
      $this->data = $this->User->read(null, $idFromCookie);
      $this->Auth->login($this->data);
      // redirect user to index.php
   }
   //rest of code
}
