Thank You so much. please when user is in Landing page, is there a way you can change the header and footer in such a way that it will be different from other user. changing UI

[@wpbeginner]

It would depend on how specific you wanted to be, if you wanted it for different roles then you can follow our guide below: www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-conditional-logic-to-menus-in-wordpress/

Thanks for the video but have tried to use peter's login but it is not redirecting me to my home page.... What might be the problem

[@wpbeginner]

Not sure, if you reach out to the plugin's support they should be able assist with the issue.

[@SdotFive]

Great video. Now can we get one that doesn't involve a plugin? Im using the 'login_redirect' hook. My function fires as desired. It just doesn't go to the desired URL. I used home_url('/slug-name') and used the complete URL. Neither worked

[@SdotFive]

nvm.....i just needed to refresh the page smfh lmfaoo. The "home_url('/slug-name')" method worked fine

[@wpbeginner]

Glad it worked :)

Hey! I want to restrict specific page to get accessed by the users only who are logged in (login pop up should be shown on that page) Only after login user can access or read that page. So is there any plugin or any other way for it??

[@wpbeginner]

You would want to look into membership plugins for something like that. For a few options you could take a look at our article below: www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/5-best-wordpress-membership-plugins-compared/

[@cmdigitalmediahawaiii5028]

Love your videos. They are so helpful. After someone logs in and gets redirected to a page, how do you make that page restricted so only they can see it? For instance, if i have a page with videos that only someone logged in can see?

[@wpbeginner]

For what it sounds like you're wanting, you would want to take a look at membership plugins for that option. We have a few options in our article below: www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/5-best-wordpress-membership-plugins-compared/

If it is not intended then you would want to take a look at our article below: www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-wordpress-login-page-refreshing-and-redirecting-issue/

[@Isthatyoudear]

Bit what about Wordpress.com users? This seems only to work for .org. I don't wish to change right now so how do I go about installing a privacy policy page/button/pop-up despite this? Thanky you.

[@wpbeginner]

Our tutorials are for WordPress.org sites, you would want to reach out to WordPress.com for their current system for setting this up.

[@evangauer]

Am I able to have users create an account through a plug-in like Ultimate Membership Pro and then direct that specific user to their own page?

[@wpbeginner]

It would depend on what you mean by their own page, if you reach out to Ultimate Membership Pro's support they should be able to let you know

[@benjaminbrunelle8084]

I need HELP please ! I can't spend another 12 hours trying to fix my issue. I have a Login and Logout issue for customers. When you click Login (nothing happens, redirects to my account page) doesn't log you in. It magically Logged me in but now I cannot Logout as a customer. I have tried looking into my pages, my appearance menus list, my plugins, Tried editing it with my theme and nothing... Please Help

[@wpbeginner]

It would depend on what you are using on your site if we're understanding correctly. If a user is not logged in they would want to log into your site rather than login without their information. You logged into your site likely because your browser's cookies had your login information set up. To log out, you would want to check the top right of the page for an option to log out.

[@rafatmk]

how to ask for user registration then redirect them to the page after login..how can you miss that logical step as the user has to create user login before actually logging in

[@wpbeginner]

We cover the different methods to allow and request user registration in our article below: www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-allow-user-registration-on-your-wordpress-site

[@nikshayrana]

Can you please guide me how can I make a different home page(login page) for unlogged users and can redirect them to site's main home page(home page for logged in users)? Thank You :)

For what you're wanting, you would want to look into membership plugins like the ones we list in our article below: www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/5-best-wordpress-membership-plugins-compared/

How do I make it redirect from a 404 page though? I can’t figure it out.

[@wpbeginner]

You have a few options available, for a starting point you may want to take a look at the plugins we recommend in our article below: www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/6-best-free-404-plugins-for-wordpress/

[@Iris-qh2pl]

This has changed now and I can’t manager redirect rules in settings anymore

[@wpbeginner]

Thank you for letting us know, it looks like the plugin has added its own settings area under LoginWP

[@AshokElectronicsVideoMAX]

How and where can I add User Name and their passwords ? How many Users can I add ? Thanks in advance

[@wpbeginner]

If you want to manually add a user you would do so in your wp-admin area under Users, All Users and click the add new button at the top

[@AshokElectronicsVideoMAX]

@@wpbeginner thanks very much, will try.

[@marktaylor8274]

How do I bypass the log in screen after the user has received email confirmation

[@wpbeginner]

It would depend on your settings but for your admin area you would normally want to go to /wp-admin on your site
