How can Community Events users log out if we have blocked access to Admin?

[Ken Partain]

We have just re-installed the Community Events plugin for the second time. Previously we allowed anonymous submissions but don’t want to do that any longer. When we block access to the WP Admin Toolbar, and subsequently the dashboard, there is no way for them to log out.

We have it set up so that a subscriber trying to access the Admin area is automatically redirected to the front-end event submission page. We did that to eliminate the confusion that was caused by them being redirected to the Home page upon setting their password and logging in.

What can we do to allow these users to actually log out of the website once they have added/edited their events? We’ve set up a test user but because the test user is logged in we can’t access the login screen to login with our administrator user.

Note: I was able to log in through a different browser, access the test user profile and click the button to log them out of everywhere but that doesn’t solve this issue long-term.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance,
Ken

Hi there,

Thanks for emailing support. Basically there are two ways that go beyond the level of support we offer. First would be to custom code a logout but in you navigation and when they do logout, have it redirect to the homepage. Second would be to possibly find a plugin that does this for you.

Second option may be the best unless you have a developer on hand.

Thanks
Brendan

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
