PLUGIN: GRAVITY FORMS USER REGISTRATION ADD-ON

12. 2) KEEP USERS OFF THE ADMIN PAGE
PLUGIN: REMOVE DASHBOARD ACCESS
13. 3) REDIRECT USERS AT LOGIN
▸ When a user logs in, send them to the most important page.
In this case, the user settings page.
▸ If an admin logs in, redirect them to the dashboard.
17. 5) CUSTOM MENUS BASED ON USER TYPE
▸ The site will have 3 types of users
▸ Site visitor / logged out users
▸ Logged in users
▸ Admins
▸ Did I mention controlling the user experience?
24. 7) HIDE CONTENT PAGES FROM NON-MEMBERS
▸ If a user is not logged in, the system doesn’t know which
user’s data to display. Therefore, if a visitor isn’t logged in, we
hide the content and display a login link.
▸ For admins, I wanted to control that experience as well.
28. 8) RUN FUNCTIONS AUTOMATICALLY
▸ Send daily emails automatically each night
▸ Send weekly emails automatically each Sunday
▸ Update system data automatically each night
