This allows you to hide all of the WordPress back-end from specified roles (e.g. Subscribers) and instead present to them a profile editing page (and, optionally, other user-specific pages) that have the same layout as the rest of the site. The front-end functionality is available to all roles, but you can choose which roles are able to access the WordPress admin section (by default, only Administrators have access to it). Front-End Users also makes it easy to: * Display user-specific links that depend on the login state (e.g. “Sign in | Register”,“ John | Sign out”, “John | Dashboard | Sign out”) * Change the URL of the profile editing page and other user-specific pages * Add other user-specific pages and display a menu of all of some of these pages * Determine whether the current user has access to the admin section The documentation for the hooks is in [example_hooks.php](http://github.com/tombenner/front-end-users/blob/master/example_hooks.php), and the documentation for the functions is in [functions.php](http://github.com/tombenner/front-end-users/blob/master/functions.php). If the [User Avatar plugin](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-avatar/) is also installed, the avatar-editing functionality it provides will be shown on the front-end user settings page. If you’d like to grab development releases, see what new features are being added, or browse the source code please visit the [GitHub repo](http://github.com/tombenner/front-end-users). ## Screenshots * [[ * The settings for Front-End Users. * [[ * The default profile settings page that’s displayed on the front-end to users.
