Creating a Member Login

Hello, and thank you in advance for any help you can offer! I’m trying to create a Login/Register system for my website.

• I am using Elementor (not Pro) as my page builder and Astra as my Theme.
• By following some tutorials, I’ve created 2 templates using Essential Addons and placed them in a new page with Advanced Tabs. (Here is the login page I created: [ redundant link removed ] )
• I don’t know where or how to have users redirected once they sign up, or how to enable “full access” to users who do sign up.
• Basically, I am attempting to have a “Public” version of the site (which contains much of the content/pages) and then a “Member” version of the site that has full access to all pages.
• Since this is a small site for a local community, I would like to selectively be able to approve people who register, rather than have “just anybody” who registers, be able to have full access to all the pages. Since the majority of the information on this site is for people who physically join our poker nights, I am looking to be able to manually decide who gets full access after they register (or even to be able to register some of the people myself, that I know).
• Can I setup a notice so that when somebody registers, I would receive an email letting me know…and then be able to approve the registration to grant full access?
• And once that part is figured out, would I simply use a “redirect” option to have a “parallel” version of the whole website, or certain pages (one with full access to all pages and the other with limited access/pages)?–or is there a better workflow for that?

Thank you again for any help or direction you can give!

Best Regards,
Nathan

Thank you…that makes perfect sense, one question at a time.

Question #1.

Should I create “mirror” pages (parallel pages) for content I would only want *members* to be able to see?–or can a single page have sections that are only visible to *members* who sign in?

To better explain, if you go to my homepage http://partypokernight.com/ and scroll down to the “June Schedule” section, you’ll see there were 4 poker nights we had in June…and the registration forms I used for people to sign up (using Google Forms and Google Sheets). While the intention is to have that schedule visible to all visitors, ideally only *members* would be able to see the dollar amount of the buy-ins for those poker nights…and only *members* would be able to actually register or see who’s attending. To achieve that, would there need to be “parallel” home pages, one for visitors that shows all that info, minus the dollar amounts and also minus the ability to register to play?–or can a “part” of the home page (certain text and/or buttons) be visible to only members, whilst still using a single home page for both visitors and members?

The only other page I have on this site is the “Leaderboard” page http://partypokernight.com/leaderboards/ (which has links to several hundred other pages of past poker tournaments we held). The same question applies for this Leaderboard page, I would like to allow visitors to see a version of all those records, but not the dollar amounts. Would I need to create “mirror” pages for each of those pages, or can I make certain elements on a page visible to visitors while everything is visible to members?

I hope that makes sense!–and thank you so much!

Nathan

Hi, @ntlknight

It seems like you are using a third-party plugin’s widget.
I’m afraid we are not aware of the widget functionality and how it works.

It’s better if you will contact the plugin’s author support and ask them for a solution. (the support of the Essentials addon plugin).
