Login successful but modal window stays open

same here
any help & advice would be appreciated

same here .. the window remains open with no re-direction

I also have the same problem. what are fixes in dev verson? And, does it really work?

Seems to work. But you have to choose the right jQuery version which seems to be 1.7.2

Same here, I'm trying to fix it but I'm not an expert. So far I was able to add the missing CTools JS library:

Last line in _ajax_register_include_modal:

ctools_add_js('ajax-responder', 'ajax_responder');

And replace all return array('#type' => 'ajax', '#commands' => $commands); by

    print ajax_render($commands);
    drupal_exit();

As suggested here: https://www.drupal.org/node/2030561#comment-7606451

Any ideas?

I have same problem. Even /user form after login does not refresh. I tried to debug and found Ajax error ajax_responder was missing. After adding it error in firebug disappeared but none of the options (refresh, default etc) work. Also tried changing jquery update and testing with different versions but no success. Please let me know if you have a solution.

Here is how I fixed it with 7.x-4.0-rc15 release:
In ajax_register.module file, add ctools_add_js('ajax-responder'); at the end of _ajax_register_include_modal() function so the file ends like this:

/**
 * Add css and javascript for modal dialog.
 */
function _ajax_register_include_modal() {

  static $added = FALSE;
  if ($added == FALSE) {

    // Do not add css and scripts again.
    $added = TRUE;

    // Include the CTools tools that we need.
    ctools_include('modal');
    ctools_include('ajax');
    ctools_modal_add_js();

    // Create our own javascript that will be used to theme a modal.
    $ajax_register_style = array(
      'ctools-ajax-register-style' => array(
        'modalSize' => array(
          'type' => 'fixed',
          'width' => (int) trim(variable_get('ajax_register_modal_width', 550)),
          'height' => 140,
          'contentRight' => 30,
          'contentBottom' => 0,
        ),
        'modalOptions' => array(
          'opacity' => (float) variable_get('ajax_register_modal_background_opacity', '0.8'),
          'background-color' => '#' . variable_get('ajax_register_modal_background_color', '000000'),
        ),
        'closeText' => '',
        'throbber' => theme('image', array('path' => ctools_image_path('ajax-loader.gif', 'ajax_register'))),
        'animation' => 'fadeIn',
        'animationSpeed' => 'fast',
      ),
    );
    drupal_add_js($ajax_register_style, 'setting');

    // Add module css and js.
    ctools_add_css('ajax-register', 'ajax_register');
    ctools_add_js('ajax-register', 'ajax_register');
    ctools_add_js('ajax-responder'); // added to close the modal window and refresh the page
  }
}

Be warned that adding ctools_add_js('ajax-responder', 'ajax_responder'); as indicated in comment #7 triggers a JS error because the file http://yoursite/js/ajax-responder.js can't be found. So only add ctools_add_js('ajax-responder'); and it will use the file provided by cTools module.

Sounds complicated to read but easy to do: only the last line of the above code was added ;-)

I also have the same issue is any body can share the solution of this problem

In my comment #9, I forgot to attach the patch... here it is (for ajax_register 7.x-4.0-rc15)

Sorry, patch is good but filename is misspelled.
