Enable WordPress Login

Enable WordPress login: Visit MyAppPresser > App Dashboard > Features > Login

The login settings allow app users to log in or out of WordPress, using the credentials provided by your WordPress website. AppPresser uses the database on your WP site to manage users.

This feature logs in or out any user to your WordPress site, via ajax. When a user is logged in, they will see their avatar in the side menu and they can visit your WordPress pages as a logged in user.

You can hide/show menu items when users are logged in to protect certain app pages, and integrate with a membership plugins to hide/show content in WordPress.

1. Make sure you have set a WordPress url with https, and optionally add the login button to your side menu.

   

2. You can also allow users to register using your Application. This feature will not work if you do not allow users to register on your WordPress site. To allow users to register on your site, go to the WP Admin Dashboard > Settings > General and tick the box to allow users to register. Also, set the level of access the user will have (i.e. Subscriber, Contributor, etc.)

   

   

3. Force the users to log into your app before the user can interact with any of the content is a useful feature for apps that require a user membership level. It's not recommended for apps with E-Commerce stores where users would likely be able to window shop before logging in.

4. Add Terms and Conditions to Signup is a useful feature to link your Application users to the Terms of Service page. This is not a feature where a user must agree before use of the application.
