Anybody got any suggestions on debugging autoLoginAfterAccountActivation and activateAccountSuccessPath not working?
These are set in general.php of my config but when a user activates their account (sets their password) they are redirected to the homepage and not logged in. The user is showing as active in the control panel.
Hayelp!

(Not necessarily a great answer to your question, but it's in the same wheelhouse and might be handy if you're working in this area)!
I remember having issues with this myself (to be honest the precise details are a bit lost in time for me - but basically IIRC it's by design that they're not logged in after creation, perhaps to force them to practise login/their password? I can't remember but do remember I found it odd behavour) - anyway in my case the issues arose as part of adding user registration during commerce checkout. It was discussed on Slack and the solution was that Steve Rowling made a very handy plugin to auto-login newly created users: https://github.com/steverowling/autologin
I'm using it, works a treat.
(I should also wrap up my code for registration during checkout as a plugin and release that one of these days!)
postLoginRedirect or activateAccountSuccessPath config. Any suggestions appreciated!

activateAccountSuccessPath should work to be honest - what does your config look like - when we have new users register, they definitely go to their dashboard, so it's working here (this is for new user registration right?)

'activateAccountSuccessPath' => 'account', but (new) user registrations are still being sent to the site root. Ta

Add 'autoLoginAfterAccountActivation' => true to config/general.php
