demo won't allow registration to see what registered user sees when they login

[LynnW]

I am investigating your calendar plugin because: I have another calendar plugin that is not going to work for the client, because the clients wants to set up one user & password to pass out to particular people who will be allowed to enter events on the site. With the current plugin, the “generic login” is directed immediately to the WordPress profile page, which is confusing (allowing change of password for instance) and I can’t change what page this generic user will land on when they login.

What I want to know about your Events Calendar is: if I made a generic user, what does the person see when they login? (I’ve searched your pre-sales questions and your GREAT video tutorials for info on “Access Control”, and I tried to make a user on your demo site, so I could see for myself: http://wpshindig.com , but the password never showed up in my email, well, never, it’s been about 40 minutes, so I’m guessing that’s not working.) I know there is a way to hide the admin bar for particular levels, but still don’t know if that’ll solve this problem. Thanks!

Hi Lynn,

Thanks for getting in touch.

If you want to avoid the WP login, you could look into using our Community Events add-on. Community Events allows users to submit events from the front end, and edit the events they’ve submitted. There are a number of user login options (ex. allow anonymous, allow anyone to register) but you could set it so only pre-made accounts could login and submit. That login looks something like this: http://d.pr/i/FB9A.

Otherwise, I think your best bet would be to look into options for changing the look of the WP login page. I’m not familiar with any, but I imagine there’s some sort of solution or customization available. Then you could make whatever level of user you wanted, and they would have limited admin access (and admin menu) based on what you set there.

Does that answer your question?

Best,
Leah
