I am new to web development. I am trying to build a site using wordpress as a cms. As such i want to know whether there is any way to create user accounts, so that people can register with the site and login. We would have an online store and we would like users to be able to save and view orders.
I have seen buddy press, but it only works with some themes. Is there any other option available?
Thanks in advance,
cpv
You can add one of the free plugins such as "Login Logout". This is the one I am currently using and it lets new users register for accounts.
You need to search for it in your plugins tab in wordpress, then install and activate it. Then you need to go to your Widgets tab and include it. Then it should run on your website.
Yes, Wordpress has user management, I suggest you play around with wordpress to understand how it works. Download a few e-commerce plugins or user management plugins and see how it all works.
Buddy press just uses the same user management that wordpress has.
I'm sure the wordpress documentation is a good place to look for more information.

I am using the Newsletter plugin to send newsletters from my Wordpress website. I want to create a new user who can only access the Newsletter plugin and not have any other admin capability on the admin dashboard.
How do I do that?
I have been experimenting with different access-control plugins, but none seem to have the capability to toggle access for a user/role to another plugin.
Would greatly appreciate if someone can point me to a plugin or a piece of code that can make the magic happen.
Many thanks in advance.
Turned out to be quite simple eventually.
The newsletter plugin, in the advanced settings option in its settings tab, provides a checkbox to allow certain user roles to access the plugin.
I just enabled it for a non-admin role that worked for me, and voila!
My project is social network website which will be built on CMS. I have decided for WordPress. The thing is I am not so sure about my decision now.
Website should have features like login and register forms, profile making and editing, user generated content from front end of site, content making restriction only on registered users of website, publishing most popular posts on home page.
User posts should be public. What I mean by that is, while I was previewing themes, I noticed that most posts from users were posted in groups. I would like this website to work more like Facebook.
Is it possible to make this sort of website with WordPress without custom plugins? And could you recommend a theme for this sort of project?
Sorry for long question and thanks in advance :D
You should look into Social specific plugin/project for WordPress called BuddyPress. https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/
If you look into buddypress specific themes you might be able to find something which is similar to your goals.
Here is official website https://buddypress.org/ (it is open source free project by WP team)
It has a feature called Activity Stream which you might be looking for which is like FB timeline.
I am new to WordPress. Help me create end user login page. I have created and site with a theme. My requirement is to create a login page for the site not for the dashboard.
Only if they login, they should be able to access other pages
I need lo add an sign in page for the site, and then user should visit be able to visit these pages
If you are looking to have login form on front end then there are multiple plugins available out there. Checkout UserPro plugin.
Also Free plugin like 'Theme My Login (TML)' can be used to provide login functionality on front end. These are just examples, there are many others as well.
Let me know if this helps or feel free to discuss more in details.
This is very well possible. You can even do this without any advanced coding skills, but it requires some (very popular) plugins.
Use the 'sidebar login widget' to let people login on any part of your website and use 'login redirect' to send them to a specific private(!) page, based on their role.
I can recommend the 'TML plugin', Faisal suggests, to make the experience even more polished. Additionally you can use the 'User role editor' to customize your roles and/or create new ones.
Sidebar login: https://wordpress.org/plugins/sidebar-login/
Login redirect:

TML plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/
User role editor: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/
Its Very Simple Just Search for Login box in Plugin > add New and Install the plugin.
after put the code where you want to show the login box.
you will find the code in plugin setting.
One of the best ways to quickly mod any theme is to get membership plugin or users add-on plugin. They usually have the basic stuff like login register customisation and my accaunt page.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/users-ultra/ but in your case maybe it will be an overkill.
you can also modify your plugin file name form-login.php in wp-conttent/plugin/templates
Similar to Theme My Login, ProfilePress is another great option. They even have an article on creating a custom login page. And it's a completely free plugin available in the WordPress plugin repo.
Since wordpress is an blogging framework we can use it for blogging purpose efficiently.. For building custom sites with javascript functionalities you have to edit index.php and header.php under your theme and then add your custom code.
To be short wordpress does not provide any end user login for site by default, only some of the paid theme supports that
I want to create a upwork.com like website in Wordpress called geeksboston.com and I do NOT know what type of plugin/extension I should use. Basically my idea for the site is something like this:
I as administrator need to have full control over users/geeks accounts (enable, disable, delete, etc)
Everything should be free of charge for both "geek" and "user".
Automatic registration process with email validation and captcha.
If you are a "geek" you can create your profile entering your experience, resumes, certificates, etc.
Regular users are not required to register, but can navigate through out the website, look for/contact geeks, etc. But to contract/rate a geek, this user must be registered.
I am new in Wordpress but heard that it can do great stuff. So any clue?
I would like to suggest Ukuu people plugin and WP-CRM. The above two core plugin is for free and It also offers paid add-ons to integrate some features. Please refer the below link. Click here for more details.
I am new to word press. I would like to create a website that would have registered users with log in, able to accept online payments, able to upload documents by users and by administrator into a secure location unique for each user and protected by log in . I also would like to add 2nd language option where the website would change from one language to another language at a click of a button.
I need help with the choice of hosting service and theme and plugins to accomplish this task.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
of all For hosting You can contact me, I have a linux server running many quality websites so you can try it out but if you are really interested to spending a lot amount of money on hosting I will sugest you to go for WPEngines or purchase dedicated server.
For the language thing, your theme must have a new language (e.g spanish) .mo and .po file or you can use Google Translator plugin in sidebar.
The requirements you have said, generally you need to made a custom theme for it.
