    Hi

    We urgently need to create a registration website for a client and now we want to do it with wp_data_access instead of the ACF plugin.

    One of the requirement is for the user to provide a username name and password to be able to ‘log in’ later to change their data. Now I can create 2 fields named username and password but then they will not be encrypted.

    Is it possible within wp_data_access to create some kind of login screen where and user data to search and check if it is correct and then redirect to his own record to change this data.

    Or can a WordPress user be created for example from wp_data_access with which one can log in and then also get to his own record.

    Regards Peter

    Hi Peter,

    WP Data Access does not support table-column encryption. But we do support a solution to work with registered users.

    WP Data Access provides a session variable to access the WordPress User ID from SQL. This works with local and remote databases in queries, views, stored procedures, and database triggers and is documented here:
    https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/variable/wordpress-user-id-in-sql/

    You just need a registration form where users can register for a WordPress account on your website. You don’t need to grant these users any WordPress roles or dashboard access. You can give them a custom role to recognize for admin purposes.

    Does this help?

    Regards,
    Peter
