Logging in – Bypass WordPress Admin area? Upload docs? Registration issue too.

[loraehmke]

I’ve been working with your theme for a few days and have multiple questions. Here goes:

1. How my site currently works is (if I am logged out), when I type in the site url (http://wwcustomercare.azurewebsites.net/) I go to the WordPress login page (see screenshot “Login-Screen”). When I log in, even under a test subscriber account I created, I go to the WordPress admin panel rather that the actual site. There are a few issues with this. First, my preference would be to type in my site url, which would go directly to the home page of the site (rather than the wordpress login page). Once there, there would be a link to login (or register) and when I click on it, it would open a pop-up login (or register) window. Then, once logged in, I would see the actual site (home page) and not be in the wordpress admin panel. How can I go about achieving this? Please note I am able to create a pop-up for login/register, but only after I am first logged in, which doesn’t make sense. If I am logged out, I always go to the separate login page. I do not see any documentation on this, so your help would be appreciated.

2. Registration page. I set up the registration page under Users – Profile Fields. However, when I view this page (by clicking on Register in the login page), the the input fields in the form are not outlined/bordered (see screenshot “register”). Is this a setting somewhere that I missed? In your theme preview, the forms looks great and all borders are visible.

3. Can users upload attachments in the forum (like I am able to do in your forum)? I thought so but I don’t see this option.

Thank you in advance!

I also have one other issue I wanted to ask regarding registrations. The email confirmation doesn’t seem to be working. For example, I registered someone to test it out, but that person never received the email to confirm/finalize the registration.

Also, is it possible to have control over who registers by either accepting their registration or denying it? For example, we are using this site for our customers ONLY. So if someone who is not our customer registers, we want to be able to deny that person.

Thanks!

Hello,

1. I already asked for credential in another thread of yours… I was asking if you have any redirect plugin installed. I will take a look after you give me credentials. Don’t forget to reply as private for security reasons

2. I see you changed the border color from the register page…

3. look for GD bbPress Attachments.

Thank you,
Catalin

Hi Catalin,

Thanks – the GD bbPress Attachment plugin is good. I don’t believe I’m using a redirect plugin. However, I added a redirect code to the functions.php file in the Kleo-Child theme:

function my_pmpro_login_redirect_url($redirect_to, $request, $user) {
return home_url();
}
add_filter(‘pmpro_login_redirect_url’, ‘my_pmpro_login_redirect_url’, 10, 3);

With this code, now users by-pass the WordPress admin area completely and stay on the front end of the site. So this is a step in the right direction. HOWEVER, I still have this issue:

Currently, when users type in my site home page URL, they go to the standard login page (see attachment) instead of the front end of my home page. My preference would be to have users go directly to the home page (not the WordPress login page). Once there, users could select either “Login” or “Register” (from the top navigation menuu) and a pop-up modal window would appear. How do I go about achieving this?

Hello,

You can use this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/peters-login-redirect/

instead of using that code.

let me know if this helps.

Thank you,
