Creating Restricted User Dashboard

Back to User Guide

Since the version 3.7.1, the WordPress Registration Form plugin allows to create a user dashboard with multiple custom tabs, where each tab can be visible either for all logged-in users or to specific user role only.

Front-end Example

Settings

To create and configure the user dashboard, navigate to Admin Dashboard → CM Registration Pro → Settings → Dashboard tab.

You can find there the following settings:

Navigation

• Dashboard page - Choose here the page where the user dashboard should be displayed. It should be a premade page which contains the shortcode [cmreg-dashboard] . Alternatively, you can choose the option -- create new page --, and after clicking Update the page with the shortcode will be created and chosen automatically:

TIP

You can automatically redirect users to the dashboard page after login by the specifying the dasboard URL in the Login settings. Learn more about it in this guide:

• Visibility - Choose here which user roles will be able to see this tab: either all user roles or only the specific one.

Example

As an example, we created 3 tabs:

1. Update User Profile - Here we added a shortcode from third-party plugin for configuring the user profile.
2. You Courses - Here is added HTML formatted text with the list of courses.
3. Book a Lesson - This tab contains a shortcode from third-party plugin which allows to book meetings. This tab is visible only for user roles with the user role Student.

Front-end result for the user with the user role Student:

Users with other user roles will see only 2 tabs:

When configuration is done, click the button Save at the bottom of the page.
