User dashboard post-list

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,

Sorry if this question has been asked before but am struggling with it a bit.

I need my authors (who login from the header-login-modal) to be able to access their “account dashboard” where they can see their post-list. Currently when a user logs in – they see the home-page and other posts like any other non-logged-in reader. How/Where can I create a way for them to “write post” ? Should it be a button visible only to logged in users?

I also want to use the following feature but I have not installed the opt-in-builder plugin yet.

Restrict your number of published posts/CPTs based on the Opt-in Builder subscription plan ID. The settings can be seen in the “Add new posts limit section” of the Posts List‘s element settings. For example, you can set the default limit option to the value 0, so free users can not publish posts. Then you can fill in a plan ID and the new limit. This means that only the users subscribed to that plan have the ability to publish posts!

Can you please tell me the steps to follow as my “authors” are currently not subscribed to any plan. Also, “Registration” is disabled on my site as this is by invite-only. I would like that only paying-authors are able to create a certain kind of Custom Post. Example: they can create as many articles, but only limited number of “event-registrations”.

Hi,

You can use menu login -> https://i.imgur.com/4xM2z5D.png, and here you can set a page where you have added the element posts list. On the other page you can create for frontend submission https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-frontend-submission-form/ There you can set limit on the submission button.

Thank you!

Understood! Thank you. This seems perfect for my needs. Can you also let me know the answer to the second part of my question?

I would like authors to publish only “x” number of posts freely. To post CPTs, there will have to be a payment. How do I go about this? Thank you!

@Anamaria – I just realised while trying to work your solution that I don’t see “menu login” in header-menu (as seen in your image). How does one arrive here ? I only have “Header Login” as an available shortcode and it doesn’t have this option for custom pages.

Hi,

You must activate the tagdiv Opt in builder plugin to have that element.
Also, there on a button, you can set a limit of the posts, but the author needs to have a plan active -> https://i.imgur.com/0PwPEIJ.png
You can find more details here

Thank you!

okay sure…because I would like to create something like this https://imgur.com/Vhks5fa (shared earlier on this forum). Again, can you please tell me meanwhile, where to locate the “menu login” in header-menu (as seen in your image). How does one arrive here ? I only have “Header Login” as an available shortcode and it doesn’t have this option for custom pages.

Hi,

This can be done only with the tagdiv opt-in builder plugin, and this is the page of my account that is set in the plugin. You need to have the plugin installed and activated and, after editing with tagdiv Composer add the element in the cloud header template.

Thank you!

Understood that! Thanks @Anamaria! But please answer my Q: where to locate the “menu login” in header-menu (as seen in your image). How does one arrive here ? I only have “Header Login” as an available shortcode and it doesn’t have this option for custom pages. Do I need the Opt-in plugin for this too?

Hi @Anamaria… that worked out for me 🙂 Thanks and ignore my previous message. I have a follow up Question though. The log in link is mydomain.com/tds-login-register >> can I change this permalink?
