Hello.
Can you tell me what the login feature of the site handles? Is a login for the theme simply just for comments?
Are there any other features available to those who login?
Thank you for your help.
Also can you tell me why people who register with the Newspaper login feature are also able to login to mywebsite.com/wp-admin?
And how I can deactivate that?
Thank you.
Hi,
Our theme uses the default wordpress registration only styled differently. If you require more information on how this works, you can find many online resourcess:
http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-allow-user-registration-on-your-wordpress-site/
Also you can check the user roles to see which one to set as the default one uppon user registration:

Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Thanks Bogdan.
But can you tell me why people who register with the Newspaper login feature are also able to login to mywebsite.com/wp-admin? It gives a limited backend access.
I have new user registration set to “subscriber.”
Is there a way to deactivate the ability to login to that limited backend?
Thanks.
Hi,
Unfortunately this is the way WordPress works. The theme cannot influence user roles in any way. Any modification to these functions will have to be made from wordpress.
Thank you!
Bogdan,
Thank you for that. I know this is out of the realm of your support but by any chance do you know how to edit what users see in their backend?
Thanks.
Hi,
Unfortunately we cannot provide any info on hacking wordpress files. We do provide code (to some extent) for our theme files, but regarding wordpress we try not to as it’s not our product. Maybe you can find a solution on the WordPress forums about modifying user roles.
Maybe ths will help:
https://managewp.com/create-custom-user-roles-wordpress
Or maybew you can find a plugin that does this such as: https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ (not tested)
Thank you!
Thanks for the extra info Bogdan. Appreciate it.
