TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

Front End Users is for site owners building membership or restricted-access sites who want front-end user registration and login without giving members access to the WordPress dashboard. It solves the problem of managing user registration, login, and content restriction entirely on the front end, using shortcodes or Gutenberg blocks instead of custom development.

Front-end user registration and login
Content restriction via shortcodes
Gutenberg blocks for registration/login/logout
Customizable membership fields
Bulk user import via spreadsheet
Customizable user email notifications
PayPal & Stripe payment integration
MailChimp integration for new users

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Front End Users

Register Form: [register] Login Form: [login] Logout Form:[logout] Toggle:[login-logout-toggle] Edit Profile Form: [edit-profile] Edit Account Information: [account-details] Restricted Content: [restricted][/restricted] Inserting User Information: [user-data] User Search Form: [user-search] User List: [user-list] User Profile: [user-profile] (Premium shortcode) Forgot Password: [forgot-password] Confirm Forgot Password: [confirm-forgot-password] Type the shortcode name and help (ex:[login help) in any WordPress page to get a complete list of the shortcode's attributes.

On the admin page, go to the "Fields" tab. After creating fields, you can drag and drop them to change their order.

You can use the [restricted] shortcode to block sections from non-logged in users, as well as to block other sections from logged-in members. To block content from non-logged in visitors, you'd simply wrap the content in [restricted][/restricted] tags: [restricted]Content goes here[/restricted] To block a portion of content from logged in users, it would looks like: [restricted block_logged_in='Yes']Content goes here[/restricted] For either tag, you can suppress the message that appears for blocked users if you want to hide content seamlessly by adding "no_message='Yes'" so: [restricted no_message='Yes']Content goes here[/restricted]

You need to add the following attributes to your [login] or [register] shortcodes: ‘redirect_field’: the field the redirect is based off of (ex. Gender) and ‘redirect_array_string’: a comma separated list of pages to redirect to (ex. Male => http: //ManPage.com, Female => http: //WomanPage.com)

You can use the [user-data field_name='First Name'] shortcode, assuming that you called your field "First Name" for a user's first name.

Click on the user you want to approve to see their details and there should be a radio button at the top of the page to approve the user.

To restrict content to a certain level(X) your shortcode would be: [restricted level='X']...content[/restricted] For all levels above "X" level: [restricted minimum_level='X']...content[/restricted] For all levels below "X" level: [restricted maximum_level='X']...content[/restricted]

You can add the attribute ‘redirect_page’ to the register tag to send newly registered users to a new page: [register redirect_page='http://www.example.com']

Check the “Options” page, and make sure that 'Login Time' isn't blank. If it's blank, then you're only logged in for a second. Anything non-blank and higher than 0 should solve the problem.

You can add the attribute [no_message='Yes'] to your shortcode, so it would look something like this: [restricted field_name='Name' field_value='Alex' no_message='Yes''/restricted]
