Basic Front-End Login

Adds a basic front-end login for to any page, post or widget and redirects to the page you choose. It also can block access to the back-end and disable the Admin Bar. This plugin is for when you want your users to be logged-in, but do not want them to have access to the Wordpress Dashboard. To display the login form, place this shortcode on any page, post, or widget: [eeBFEL] After the user has logged in, they will be redirected to your home page or the URL you define in the plugin settings. You can also optionally display a logout button at the bottom-right of each page. Redirect After Login To define destinations in additional login forms, use the "redirect" attribute to over-ride the default. There is no limit to the number of forms you can use. [eeBFEL redirect="https://website.com/your-files-page/"] Deny Dashboard Access In the plugin settings you can optionally select roles that you want to deny back-end access to. All built-in and custom roles, except Administrator, can be blocked. The Admin Bar will not appear and direct back-end access attempts will simply redirect to your home page. This restriction will be site-wide and is unrelated to the use of the shortcode. Even if you don't need a login form, this can add an extra measure of security to your website by denying back-end access to all roles except Administrators. NEW - Show a Logout Button Optionally show a small logout button on the bottom-right of each page if the user is logged in. Logging out returns the user to the home page.
