I’m farely new to Wordpress but are working on putting a page together which has a very simple purpose. I’m creating it for a customer with little or none IT experience so I want to create a user he can use to login and edit his pages – and nothing more. No settings, no comments, no posts, no links, no nothing, just create, delete and edit pages and maybe edit his own profile or at least his E-mail and password.
I can see that wordpress has some predefined roles for users but none of them completely does what I want and they either has to little or to many rights. I’ve been looking at the wordpress page http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities but can’t seem to get a clear answer.
Is it in any way possible for me to create my own user role (e.g. customer) where I can set the rights I want for him?
Thanks
Sincerely
Mestika
Install the Role Manager plugin. It does exactly what you want.
You can simply hide all unnecessary options from the admin panel. Use Adminimize plugin.

I want to know to
How to make a login area.
How to make a registration area with selecting subscription plan. (Please be kind to post your answer with how to design a registration area even without selecting subscription plan.)
Does it saves the user login details.
how to design a page to edit the profile.
creating a payment gateway.
I wish you would know answer any of the above questions. Please be kind to share your knwoledge.
This is better done when you employ someone to do it for you. There are lots of WordPress login & registration form... You can use any of them that works best with your theme.

I've got three home pages:
1. home
2. home-student
3. home-teacher
Based on their custom user role (student, teacher or not logged in) I would like to show a different homepage. My knowledge of PHP is pretty basic, so I'm hoping for an easy answer (or line of code I could paste in my child theme). Many thanks!
Since you do not have a lot of php experience, you may want to use a plugin like this one
https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-specific-content/
You can then use shortcodes in your homepage content to designate who see what. Like...
[O_U user_id="1"]Content goes here[/O_U]
There are other methods, but they would require hacking the page.php template. As long as you're not trying to have the header and footer look different, the plugin should late you have different page content for different roles.

On one of my websites, the editor and subscriber have access to Dashboard, Profile and Plugins. This is really strange. There is no access to anything else - pages, posts etc.
Have tried re-installing wordpress and makes no difference.
Not using any user access plugins
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Chris
You should test the capabilities of your users and re structure them accordingly. Have a look at The Codex to get a list of capabilities for editors and subscribers.
If you want to use plugins, you can find some that will allow you to edit the capabilities.
else you can then use get_role(), add_cap() and remove_cap() to correct their capabilities.
You should switch to a standard theme such as twenty twelve and see if it woks properly, of it does the problem is your theme and you should contact the theme author.

what kind of questions do I need to ask. Also, I don't want everyone to have the ability to create an account so how can I distinguish the people that i want to give them the ability to create an account?
In my login page i asked about username, password, email address, and a full name. also, in this case every body will have the ability to create an account. what i really want is let certain people to have ability to create an account, just certain people.
please if something not clear just ask me again or help me with it. I am new and so fresh to work by myself so any help will mean a lot to me. thanks
you can use this site http://expression.microsoft.com/en-us/cc964293.aspx and they perfectly explain how to create your login page.
Technically, you don't NEED to ask any. You could simply auto-generate a username and password combination and give it to the user.

I'm making a site for a friend (artist). He wishes to have a gallery. The requirements are as follows:
Allow users to comment:
Registered user - Comment normally.
Unregistered user - reCaptcha comment + link to registration (which should also have reCaptcha, but that's another story).
Galleries should have categories, and each category should have a page of its own, visible in the menu (or a specially constructed categorylist-page.php).
Ability to moderate comments and spam.
I've though of 2 possible things:
Each image should be a static page, which will be a child of its categorizing page.
Pros: Uses native wordpress abilities. Easy moderation through admin panel.
Cons: Possibly add complexity for the administrator (who is not a programmer)
Try to find a plugin to do the job, but so far I haven't found one which answers the requirements above.
I was hoping to get a nudge in the right direction, I'm no wordpress expert.
Thanks in advance.
I think the first approach is best, assuming that you want visitors to comment on individual artworks, and not just general gallery comments.
You might be able to get away with just using Posts and setting the Featured Image, but if you find yourself wanting more flexibility, custom fields, and possibly custom post types and taxonomies, definitely check out MagicFields
As for the commenting/spam prevention requirements, I wouldn't require users to create an account, unless they are already raving fans of your friend's artwork. Instead, I'd:
