Leave the Favorites and Saved Searches options available for users
Regardless of whether the User Type dropdown is enabled (read about user roles here), you can control which dashboard pages are visible for each user type from:
Theme Options → General → User Type Settings
This allows you to decide which pages (Favorites, Saved Searches, Add Listing, etc.) are shown in the user dashboard.
Note: If no dashboard pages are selected, all pages will be displayed.
Disable the “Add Listing” button and form in the header
To remove the Add Listing button and submission form from the header, go to:
Theme Options → Header → Login / Register & Submit
Set Show submit property button in header? to No.

How to allow saving favorites without login
WPResidence allows visitors to save favorites without creating an account, using browser storage.
The following video explains how this works and how to enable it:
Regular users – what they can do
WPResidence supports multiple user types: regular users, agents, agencies, and developers.
Regular users are intended for lead capture use cases. They typically register to save favorites and saved searches, without submitting properties.
You can control which user types are allowed to register from: Theme Options → General → User Role Settings
For regular users, you can also select which dashboard pages they can access. This is useful when only administrators or agents add properties, but visitors register only for favorites and saved searches.
If no dashboard pages are selected, all dashboard pages will be visible.
Disable user registration (no register / no login options)
To fully disable user registration:
Step 1: Go to WP Admin → Settings → General
and uncheck Anyone can register.
Step 2: Go to Theme Options → Header
and set Allow user registration? to No.

The login modal will still be available, but the registration option will be disabled.
Optionally, from the same Theme Options section, you can also disable:
- The user login icon
- The Submit Property button
