Basic Front-End Login

Basic Front-End Login

Details
View on WordPress

Adds a basic front-end login for to any page, post or widget and redirects to the page you choose. It also can block access to the back-end and disable the Admin Bar. This plugin is for when you want your users to be logged-in, but do not want them to have access to the WordPress Dashboard.

To display the login form, place this shortcode on any page, post, or widget: [eeBFEL]

After the user has logged in, they will be redirected to your home page or the URL you define in the plugin settings. You can also optionaly display a logout button at the bottom-right of each page.

Redirect After Login

To define destinations in additional login forms, use the “redirect” attribute to over-ride the default. There is no limit to the number of forms you can use.

[eeBFEL redirect=”https://website.com/your-files-page/”]

Deny Dashboard Access

In the plugin settings you can optionally select roles that you want to deny back-end access to. All built-in and custom roles, except Administrator, can be blocked. The Admin Bar will not appear and direct back-end access attempts will simply redirect to your home page. This restriction will be site-wide and is unrelated to the use of the shortcode.

Even if you don’t need a login form, this can add an extra measure of security to your website by denying back-end access to all roles except Administrators.

NEW – Show a Logout Button

Optionally show a small logout button on the bottom-right of each page if the user is logged in. Logging out returns the user to the home page.
