The homepage of my Wordpress site is set to display my latest posts.
I also created a landing page which includes a form for users to fill out for a free consultation.
How can I make it so that when first-time users go to the homepage, they will be redirected to the landing page? (But clicking on my site logo should still take them back to my regular homepage showing my latest posts.)
After users have filled out the "get a free consultation" form on my landing page, we would create a cookie or something so that whenever they next visit the homepage, they will just see the regular homepage with latest posts - not see the landing page any more.
Is there a way to write a code for this?
Thanks in advance!!!
setcookie() is probably a good option.
if(!$_COOKIE["been_here_before"]) {
setcookie("been_here_before", true);
header('Location: /consultation'); // Your free consultation page
}
The way to achive this is a little bit more complicated.
The best practice for this is to have your form in an overlay on the homepage, the user sees the form when accessing your website but has an option to close that layer (exemple:"already fiiled the form..."). After the user submits the form or clicks "close" then set a session variable that will be used so the user won't receive the overlay again in that session. An website that does that is this one which asks the user to register for the newsletter. If the user is already register then he can click "Already registerd?" (=Sunteti deja înregistrat?) and the overlay disapears for that session.
If the form submision is mandatory for all users to get access to the website, then force them to login in the landing page. Here is an example for that.

I have a simple ASP.NET address book application.
In the application the user can:
Get a list of contacts
Click a contact to go to an edit-page
Edit the contact
Press save and go back to the list
Now: If the users clicks the browser back button at this point in time the application goes back to the edit page - which is NOT what the user expects (the user expects to go back to the page before the list).
The general problem is these temporary/edit pages that you would never want to navigate back to - is there a pattern for handling this?
I can think of two solutions
Don't have separate edit page but use javascript to show edit form on detail page
When serving edit page check, that referrer header is not from contact list but from contact detail. If it's list page url then redirect to detail page
Imho option 1 is cleaner and option 2 probably easier
Let's suppose I have a page with ten products. When I click a button on one of the products it opens a pop-up (partial view) which has some share buttons. When I click 'Share on Facebook' it needs to have the correct meta-tags (title of the product, description of the product and image of the product).
Is this possible and if so, how?
I ended up doing a view and a page from umbraco on which it renders the view from the controller. It adds the correct meta-tags, dynamically.
The user clicks share and that's it, I just serve facebook's crawler a product page which the user won't see. Then when someone clicks the shared url from facebook it will get a redirect to my desired URL.
Previously tried with javascript and ajax, or even alter the master template tags from the controller and even checking if facebook's crawler gets on the website, only the last one worked partially but yuck...
How can I preview or view WooCommerce endpoint pages such as the /order-received/ page without placing an order each time I want to view it?
I know how to edit the contents of WooCommerce endpoint pages, but I find it hard to work on the front-end if I can't preview the page.
There is no need to place a new order each time you want to preview the endpoint page.
Just place the order once and store the endpoint URL somewhere. You can re-visit the endpoint page as often as you want or even refresh the page after making changes in your code/styling.
My client would like to give each customer a password and once entered, this should then redirect them to a certain page. I.e. password 'cake' would go to a page about cakes, password 'cats' would go to a page about cats. Sounds simple enough, is there a plugin that you guys are aware of that would do it? Or is it possible straight from WP itself?
Thanks
Take a look at Peter's Login Redirect. I haven't used it myself, but it has good ratings, has been updated recently, and it sounds like it can redirect based on the login criteria entered.
On a side note, I can't wait to see this website that features cats and cakes!
Good luck.
I'm sure there are better solutions out there. I accomplished what you are looking for by using conditional fields and html in Gravity forms. To mimic a password, I removed the Gravity forms submit button, and I basically created my own submit button in the html field to redirect the visitor to my desired url. Using conditional fields, I hide the button until the user enters the exact passphrase.
This method also allowed me to create hide/show multiple buttons matching different passcodes. We give private clients different passcodes to redirect them to different pages and content.
I've searched for hours for that solution! Here You go #ajguk: http://thecodecave.com/plugins/smart-passworded-pages/ or http://wordpress.org/plugins/smart-passworded-pages/
The plugin is called "Smart passwor pages" (for those experts that can't reed what the link says). It is as close as it gets 4 me. The plugin is old, but it works. Instalation is simple. You just need to put shortcode [smartpwpages] on a page which gives You a login field and every childpage under page with shortcode (if passworded protected throug WP) will work exactly like you asked. You will need to enter into login field only a password and it will redirect user to a page that this password protects... Just need to make your passwords unique for every childpage.
Cheers!
I want to create pages in WordPress, which should show to a specific user only not for specific role.
if a page is created for a specific user like "john". it should be viewed by only john, no other users could not see that page.
My Questions are:
How to create a page for a specific user? (from admin).
Note: while creating page we should assign that page to specific user like "john".
Is there any plugins for this?
Is there any way to do this.

I know that it is a bit late but still want to answer in case you need. Try to use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-specific-content/ plugin. You can customize your pages.
Just an idea:
Why not make a page template for that page? get current user id in the template then show the details depends on the user id? You can check is_user_logged_in() and pull all contents under the if statement and under the else statement you can redirect the user to the login page or just show the message to logged in.
Let me know if everything is clear. Thanks!
This can be done with ease using nav menu plugin and roles creator plugin.you can create roles with names of your clients and show menu items of user pages to specific roles/person
