WpResidence works with regular users, agents, agencies, or developers. This help explains the similarities and differences between these options: Read more here.
Managing Users
As Administrator, you can manage these users in two ways:
- Create agents, agencies, and developers manually from Wp-admin Dashboard.
- OR allow users to register as regular user, agent, agency, or developer from Theme Options → General → User Role Settings
The user types dropdown will show in all Register Forms:
- Modal Register Form (see screenshot below – check here to disable)
- Mobile Register Form
- Shortcode Register Form
- Widget Register Form
User Separation & Admin Approval
If you choose YES for user separation in the register form, select also which User Roles require admin approval.
- Once selected, new Agent, Agency, or Developer accounts will need admin approval before accessing their full User Dashboard.
- If nothing is selected, all new users are approved automatically.
Admin Manual Approval Process:
- User registers an account and logs in but cannot use it until approved.
- Admin receives and email about the new account and he sees pending accounts under Agents / Agencies / Developers in Wp-admin.
- Admin edits the pending account and clicks Publish to approve.
- Once approved, the user gains full account access.
If you choose NO for user separation, the user type dropdown will not show.
In this case:
- You can manually create agents, agencies, or developers in Wp-admin.
- Assign them to properties created in admin
Dashboard Pages for Regular Users
You can select which dashboard pages regular users can see:
- Useful for cases like the single agent demo, where only admin adds properties, but you still want to capture leads from users registering to save favorites or searches.
- If no pages are selected, all dashboard pages will show for registered users.
