Back to User Guide

What Are These Settings

The Login Settings control various aspects of the login process: what appears in the login form, where the user redirects to after they've logged in, and whether or not they can log in using Facebook among other things. It also offers ways to positively or negatively restrict Login permissions for users based on set criteria.

Accessing The Settings

To configure login settings in WordPress Registration Form Plugin, navigate to Admin Dashboard → CM Registration Pro → Settings → Login tab.

Access Restriction Content

Starting from version 2.6.8, it's possible to fully or partially restrict access to the website.

• Global Site Access - Choose between:
  • Site accessible to everyone
  • Site accessible to logged-in users
• Custom Redirect URL - If you restrict access to guest (logged out) users, they will be redirected to this address. 
• Exclude the following URLs - Add exceptions if needed. Separate them by lines.

Login

• Redirect after login to URL address - Specifies where the site user will be redirected after successfully logging in.

  TIPS

  You can use these inside the URL:

  • %usernicename% - will be replaced by the username

    %userlogin%  - will be replaced by the user login

    %usersitename% - will be replaced by the micro-site assigned to the user created. 

    For example, if the user's login is "tom123", for that user, www.site.com/%userlogin% will become www.site.com/tom123
