Role Includer

Role Includer

There are lots of plugins to handle roles and capabilities, however, none provide one simple interface for allocating multiple roles to a user.

This plugin expects the complexity of capabilities to be handled by the Administrator through another plugin, I’m not reproducing what is already available. What ‘Role Includer’ allows is for any user with the ‘promote_users’ capability a simple way to handle allocation of roles and only that.

So by simply creating a new role, for example “staff” and adding the ‘promote_users’ capability to this role, all staff members will be able to handle role assignment.

If you wish to hide/mask-out a particular role from “staff” ( such as “Administrator” ) so that staff cannot allocate the higher access level then you can exclude higher roles by using the “Role Excluder” plugin available over at justinandco.com

RegistrationMagic – User Registration Plugin with Custom Registration Forms

RegistrationMagic – User Registration Plugin with Custom Registration Forms

WordPress User Registration Forms Plugin

Create custom WordPress registration forms, publish signup and login pages, enable user registrations, approve new users, accept payments, track submissions, manage users, analyze registration data, assign user roles, apply registration status, send bulk emails, automate registration process, launch event registration, integrate WooCommerce, and much more. If you are looking for a powerful WordPress user registration plugin and custom registration form builder, look no further than RegistrationMagic!

So, what exactly is RegistrationMagic?

RegistrationMagic will let you take TOTAL CONTROL of user registrations on your site, with its powerful building, configuring, publishing, managing, analyzing and automation toolkit. You can create different WordPress Registration Forms for your users with pre-defined form fields using an intuitive drag-and-drop form builder. Choose from ready-to-use forms library to quickly create your forms with a few simple clicks! You can also set up payments for paid user registrations and build any type of WordPress payment form. A Front-End user registration area allows your users to login, reset password, check payment transaction history, download their form submissions, etc.

Get started with RegistrationMagic using our Starter Guide.

RegistrationMagic tracks all incoming form submissions and activities, which can be monitored from individual form dashboard, allowing you to make informed decisions about your form tweaks. You can also accept attachments (single or multiple), and view or download them from a single area inside the dashboard. Advanced filters allow you to track form submissions for a specific form within a time period.

There is also a full-fledged User Management module integrated with RegistrationMagic. It goes a step ahead of default WordPress User manager by connecting user registration and payment activities with individual user accounts. User Manager is the central hub for RegistrationMagic’s user management system, which provides important information about each user within individual user pages. User management also offers enhanced options like suspending and re-activating users.

RegistrationMagic not only allows you to create new user roles but integrate them with your login and registration system easily. You can even create paid user roles using in-built manager!

Full integration with WordPress’ default user-meta system means you can hook your form fields with existing user-meta keys, or create new ones right from the comfort of your registration form dashboard. Therefore, not only all registration form submissions are visible inside WordPress User pages as table, you can also go ahead and map individual form fields to user profile fields (or create new ones from scratch)! This also opens a world of opportunity for integrations with other plugins using WP user-meta.

Learn more about RegistrationMagic features here.

Not happy with default WordPress registration page? You can define and replace default WordPress registration page with your own custom-built form. RegistrationMagic provides you with more control and flexibility over your WordPress registration page. It redefined the user experience by combining specialized roles of both login and registration plugin.

With RegistrationMagic you can build anything from simple to complex registration approval system to enable or disable user registration. Powerful Custom Status feature offers an option to create multi-step registration approval process. Automations can be used for automated registration approval mechanism. These features allow you to use RegistrationMagic for industry specific registration systems, like WordPress event registration plugin for online or physical events, member registration plugin for teams, WordPress application form plugin for businesses and WordPress enrollment plugin for sport camps. If you are registering with limited seats, the Limits feature can help you build WordPress event registration form, which has both a booking time window and option to limit the number of bookings. You can also generate token numbers for every booking for these event registration forms. Another example would be to use it as WordPress course registration plugin for classes.

Custom Status Guide: The Custom Registration Status system allows combining multiple actions in a single click. (Just like your very own macros!) This enables you to move submissions through a vetting process. Every action can prompt user to fulfill certain requirements. With advance Inbox filters and saved searches, It’s a cinch to sort and mark submissions. Failed registration attempts can be routed through different registration setup.

Frontend

Customer journey on your site starts with the sign-up process. There are multiple configuration settings in RegistrationMagic to curate sign-up experience for your users. These include different types of limits along with granular access controls, offering them to select user roles, display and hide signup form fields using preset conditions, etc. You also have complete control over redirections after sign-up, sending users email update

  • Allow members to manage their account with self-service account management. Members can easily view their account status, renewal or expiration date, and options to upgrade or cancel their account. They can also access a complete history of payments made to their account, including PDF invoices for each payment.

  • Offer prorated memberships. Customers can also upgrade and downgrade between membership levels at any time. These upgrades and downgrades are prorated based on how much the customer has already paid and how much time is left in their current membership.
  • Auto-renew membership payments. Select whether membership payments should always auto renew or let the customer decide.

Use Restrict Content as a WordPress content restriction plugin to:

  • Restrict access to your WordPress site based user role. Limit access to full content via a simple interface on the post, page, and custom post type editing screens.

  • Protect sensitive content.
  • Clearly separate public content from private content
  • Restrict access to entire pages or specific sections
  • Let users register and login from the frontend of your site

I can’t switch back!

See item 3 at FAQ.

It’s not working! / I found a bug!

Please let me know through the support and add a plugins and themes list! 🙂

Security

This plugin is completely safe and will keep your users, passwords and data secure.
For more info see item 7 at FAQ!

Developer notes

This plugin will only be useful for admins (network super admins or regular admins). It will not add functionalities for other roles unless you specifically apply custom capabilities for those users.
Also keep in mind that switching to users that have equal roles is disabled. (regular admins to regular admins + super admins to super admins)

I’ve created this at first for myself since I’m a developer and often need to see the outcome on roles which my clients use.

So, when you are developing a plugin or theme that does anything with roles or capabilities you can use this plugin to easily check if everything works.
No more hassle of creating test users and constantly logging out and in anymore!

This plugin is also useful to support your clients and/or users. For example; make screen display presets of the edit and overview pages before you let them log in.
