Using WP for a small home office

  • Hi all,
    For our small home based office which is a group of 60 members, we need to create a custom landing page for every members once they login from the front end. Each user will see a page dedicated to their portfolio like their contribution, amount, transactions, n some downloadable stuffs etc.

    Is there any plugin to create such small user management with custom pages? Also I have to display custom field (like balance amount) for each user inside that page? I can create a new field in WP database called “balance” and import their salaries from the excel file. This is to be shown in their individual pages.

    Please, help. We are a small home based workers group and can’t hire programmers for this. Thanks.

  • It is pretty easy to redirect users to their profile page at login, and its pretty easy to add pages/content to the user profile. You can also add and remove widgets from the Dashboard. The problem I think you are going to have with finding a ready made plugin is that it looks like you need functions (“their contribution, amount, transactions, n some downloadable stuffs” and “balance amount”, maybe others) that are pretty specific to your project.

    Apljdi, I dont understand much what you wrote. How can I achieve those “easy” things redirecting users, user’s own profile page, sth like that

    You can use the login_url hook to redirect users at login. I can walk you through that. That isn’t the hard part. The hard part is going to be the other functions you are going to need– contribution, amount, transactions, etc.

    The login_url hook works like this:

    my_login_url($url) {
    return 'https://'.get_bloginfo('url').'/wp-admin/profile.php';
}
add_action('login_url','my_login_url');

    Place that in your theme’s functions file or in a plugin.

    Thank you very much. Do you know of any plugin for WP which functions like user management in Joomla or other CMS? I want to use WP for complete user mgmt..

    For the redirection you can use the plugin ‘Theme My Login’
    although for the user management I don’t really know
    but you can look here https://tinyurl.com/3mgu4le or an example over here https://www.webdesignlessons.com/7-user-management-plugins-for-wordpress/
