Front-End Users is a WordPress plugin that prevents specified user roles from accessing the WordPress admin section (the pages in /wp-admin/), sets up a profile editing page on the front-end, and allows for customization of front-end user-specific pages. This allows you to hide all of the WordPress back-end from specified roles (e.g. Subscribers) and instead present to them a profile editing page (and, optionally, other user-specific pages) that have the same layout as the rest of the site. The front-end functionality is available to all roles, but you can choose which roles are able to access the WordPress admin section (by default, only Administrators have access to it).
Front-End Users also makes it easy to:
<ul>
<li>Display user-specific links that depend on the login state (e.g. “Sign in | Register”, “John | Sign out”, “John | Dashboard | Sign out”)</li>
<li>Change the URL of the profile editing page and other user-specific pages</li>
<li>Add other user-specific pages and display a menu of all of some of these pages</li>
<li>Determine whether the current user has access to the admin section</li>
</ul>
The documentation for the hooks is in <a href="http://github.com/tombenner/front-end-users/blob/master/example_hooks.php" rel="nofollow ugc">example_hooks.php</a>, and the documentation for the functions is in <a href="http://github.com/tombenner/front-end-users/blob/master/functions.php" rel="nofollow ugc">functions.php</a>.
If the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-avatar/" rel="ugc">User Avatar plugin</a> is also installed, the avatar-editing functionality it provides will be shown on the front-end user settings page.
