Notes de l'éditeur
- Quick wins
- Drops the registration, log in, and password recovery forms into your Page template
- General settings let you use your own CSS or rewrite login links
- Creates a Page for Login, so you can add content or you can put a tag in your template file
- Creates a Page for Login, so you can add content or you can put a tag in your template file
- Many options, including redirection, custom passwords, and custom emails
- Formats the Profile form into your theme template
- Can turn on or off for specific roles or keep certain roles from accessing the WP admin area altogether
- Friendly /profile/ location
- Allows user to upload a photo to their profile
- Plugin options allow you to set dimensions, override avatars, and moderate photos
- Square Thumbnails for User Photo plugin runs on top of User Photo and crops the thumbnail as a square instead of proportional to the original shape.
- Slower wins
- There are a few plugins for adding additional fields to the profile form. Register Plus hasn’t been updated in a couple of years and seems to have mixed results.
- You can be hardcore and write these functions into functions.php.
- <?phpif ( is_user_logged_in() ) { echo 'Welcome, registered user!';} else { echo 'Welcome, visitor!';};?>
- In my Team page template, here’s how I show this information.
- Voila!
- Using the built-in Link Manager, we can create a Reading List for each user to maintain on their own
- WordPress saves the “link_owner” ID when the link is added to the database.
