Use One or Two Forms

  1. If I manage to set up a form for people to add a custom post type post how do I force them to register and then only be able to use the same form to edit the post and keep them out of the back end?

    Thanks

  2. You can require your users to be registered before they can access a form. There is a checkbox on the advanced tab of the form settings which says "Require user to be logged in". Check that and your form will not be displayed to anyone who is not logged in. In the "Require Login Message" field below the checkbox, you can provide the link to the registration form or your login page.

    To prevent your users from accessing the back end, create a role for them which does not give them any access to features you don't want them to use. However, every logged in user will be able to see something in the back end, when they log in to wp-admin. You will need to use another plugin to prevent logged in users from accessing the back end.

    Here is one:

    Google has some results as well:

    Preventing access to the back end is not something Gravity Forms will do. You will need another plugin.
