How do you disable account activation in WPMU and then log the user in right away?

1. In a WPMU setup the account information is sent to the wp_signup table before being passed to the wp_users table.

   an easy fix for this is:

   function your_disable_activation( $user, $user_email, $key, $meta = '' ) {
       // Activate the user
       $user_id = wpmu_activate_signup( $key );
   
       wp_set_auth_cookie( $user_id, true, is_ssl() );
   
       wp_redirect( /*redirect to */ site_url() );
       exit;
   
   }
   add_filter( 'wpmu_signup_user_notification', 'your_disable_activation', 10, 4 );

2. This is for future reference:

   Currently: WordPress 4.5 (Date: 04/28/16 | With the nag message to update to WP 4.5.1)

   My tweaked version:

   // -- Originally in the post, not sure if this is necessary
   // -- remove_filter('wpmu_signup_blog_notification', 'activate_on_blog_signup');
   
   // This function runs after Sign Up Step 2
   function activate_user_and_blog( $domain, $path, $title, $user, $user_email, $key, $meta ) {
     // Activate website right blog registration
     $blogID = wpmu_activate_signup($key);
   
     // Get the URL of the new blog
     $blogURL = get_blogaddress_by_id($blogID['blog_id']);
   
     // Redirect the user to their blog Dashboard
     wp_redirect(trailingslashit($blogURL) . 'dashboard');
   
     // wp_redirect( home_url() );  // Redirect to home page
     exit;
   }
   add_filter('wpmu_signup_blog_notification', 'activate_user_and_blog', 10, 7 );
