@@RudaRdp You guys to need add a plugin like user role editor and try adding the permission of viewing private page to your "subsriber" role or any other role you want to achieve this dashboard.
@@manjuarun4u you can use plugins that disable the dashboard for any users except admins or add custom codes to your function.php page . google about it .
I have been looking for something like this since I first started using Elementor. I build websites for nonprofits and very small businesses that want to be able to update their pages/posts but are barely technical enough to use email. This approach to building a user dashboard will save me (and my clients) untold grief. THANK YOU!
This is crazy because you just posted this yesterday and it's exactly what I'm working on right now using the same plugins and everything lol. I love creating this custom admin area because it's sooo much more user friendly and pretty than the WordPress admin area, plus it's more under our 'control' for example not giving access to certain things and not having 'notices' etc pop up on their dashboard etc.
Great minds eh? Totally agree, this is so much controllable to the normal WordPress Dashboard and also lets you flex your creativity and build a more user and brand-focused experience for clients.
Just want to comment again as these advanced videos are just so amazing and helpful. You are the best Wordpress TH-cam out there please keep it coming !!
Thanks a lot for this tutorial Paul C. Wordpress is the best open source CMC so far. Being able to customize the dashboard this way makes it even perfect to create white label profesional websites.
Paul C, i used to Watch your videos, this one is one of the best. Thorough, clear and diving in all possibilities offer by those plugings together. Thank you very much for your dedication and comitment. It was a pleasure to Watch, like a good movie. Continue in this direction for 2020.👍

Many thanks Paul. I'm grateful that you are doing such advanced videos. I think you became unique not only with your quality but also with the chosen contents. I wish you continuous success! 🙏
Thank you. It's not always easy to separate yourself from the other TH-camrs out there, but the aim in 2020 is to do just that.

I'm working on this right now. I'm just not sure if I can do this for multiple users. Teachers/Student dashboards. Thanks so much, Paul! This gave me a lot of ideas
Hi Paul! Great tutorial! I would be very curious to see you make the same dashboard, using Jet Engine instead of ACF. Would be a great head to head comparison.
Paul, I'd love to see this as well. And since ACF has gone off the proverbial DEEP END of late, Jet Engine would be a natural next choice to do this with.
Fab tutorial Paul! Love your work my man. Fab! Absolutely fab! Clean, clear, excellent walk throughs! I'd love to see this done with Jet Engine instead though. As ACF has gone off the rails due to its being sold to delicious minds.
Only admin or editor rule can submit data and edit it.. which is the best way to show these data to specific users filterd by specific field.. for example. if we have a customer that love "ford brand" will be nice to show only filtered post based on his preference...
Thanks for a wonderful video. ACF Frontend PRO has not yet released support for woocommerce. Can you recommend any other plugin that can help create frontend for woocommerce products having acf data ?
It does have support for WooCommerce, but not full support right now. It can handle simple products and I believe digital products, but not more complex products. That is coming though. An alternative would be WP User Frontend Pro which I believe has WC support. bit.ly/3fvU8tC
Thank you, Paul, for a mindblowing tutorial! I'm investigating options for a new project and the vague wish for a 'custom dashboard' for content contributors, just became a very real possibility. Wonderful work!
Great video Paul, tnx! One question though. How do i start over from scretch with Profile Builder? Deleting the Jetengine plugin and begin all over does not do the job for me because i miss some pages etc ..
Hi Paul, love your tutorial, but can't get something to work. When I create the editor role everthing seems to work, but the user doesn't go to the 'dashboard' page. Something to do with the fact that I'm working localy With MAMP pro instead of direct online? I can imagine that the code in functions.php ($url = home_url('/dashboard/'); should be a little bit different. Thanks for your help.
Hey! I just figured this out so thought I'd let you know :) My new Editor user wasn't redirecting to the dashboard page, and I've just worked out why. At 9:30 into the video, Paul says that changing the user type in the code from 'author' to 'editor' will redirect administrators and editors to the new dashboard page, when in fact it will do the opposite - it will redirect all users EXCEPT admins and editors. When he clicks save on the video it looks like it resets to "author" instead of "editor", which makes the fact that Paul's new Editor user is being redirected to the new dashboard page but ours isn't make a lot more sense.
Hello there. Watching this video after 4 years, and I'm really amazed by how much content is here! One issue though, the Author Shabti Kaplan seems like is not making any plugins anymore, therefore two main plugins of this guide do not exist anymore. ACF Frontend Form Element Pro & Advanced Post Queries. Any Alternatives to use instead of them? Thank you in advance!
This is such a great video. I'm curious how this might work with creating events, having them un-publish based on the event date and or be set as a recurring event
Hi thanks for this precious tutorial ! I have an issue with frontendform PRO, the edit option doesnt show in main action ! I have all the PRO version of ALL the plugin listed... Someone help please !! iam stucked !!! Best regards
Hi Paul. I configured everything the way I need it (with your help, thank you), except one thing. I have a Custom Post Type that the form adds a new post to. How do I configure the categories and/or a custom field to allow a guest poster to select one of the custom taxonomies within the Custom Post type. In my case the post type is "Member's Entries," the taxonomy is "Galleries" and they would select "Art" or "Poetry" or "Pottery" etc. I hope this makes sense. Thanks again for your help.
I'm not too sure what you mean. If all you need to do is create a simple frontend upload form, then the free version of the plugin used in this tutorial should do the trick: th-cam.com/video/iHx7krTqRN0/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic tut, as usual, Paul! Can I do this with Elementor Pro and Jetengine instead? JE appears to have much of the things you're using with ACF, ACF FE, APQ, and Ele.
If you have a taxonomy with your ACF group how do you get it show on the front end here? In the backend it shows on the right hand side but I cant find an option to select my taxonomy/catagories
@@MoxetKhan Same. I can add a custom field group so that shows but when you select the options in it, it doesn't actually register the post in the taxonomy.
@@MoxetKhan I think I found the answer. Create a field group for your taxonomy so it shows in the form. Make sure your field group has save terms set to yes. This will connect the taxonomy terms to the new post which means you don't need the post categories field anymore.
This video was exactly what I needed to learn! Thank you!!! One thing I'm struggling with - does anyone know how to make it so users can view their own 'Pending' or even 'Draft' posts? Even better, if they could view and edit them. Even when I give my users Editor access (I really only want them to be 'Contributors'), I still can't make it so they can see *their own* pending/draft posts from the front end.
Hi Paul, once again thx for the outstanding tutorial. I'd like to know wether is possible, maybe via some custom code (?), to have the "Add posts" private page *child* of the "Dashboard" private page. It just makes more sense to me having such a tree, since the add posts funcionality is part of the dashboard.
Really nice tutorial. Love it. Can you suggest how to edit the Profile Picture/Avatar (I am using Simple Local Avatars) from this dashboard. That would just complete the profile editing part.
Hi Paul brilliant video as always 👍🏻 Once I’ve created a setup I like is there a simple way to roll that out to other client sites that would need the same set up too?
Not a really simple way. If you were going to use the same structure (ACF fields, for example) then a dummy site that could be cloned or if you were using something like Local by Flywheel, you could create a template for the setup. Alternatively, if you were only using standard WordPress features (Posts, pages, etc) that would be a lot easier as you are using the standard WP features and not complicating matters with ACF. Off the top of my head, I can't see an easier way unless it could somehow be packaged, but that's currently beyond my pay grade. lol
WPTuts it’s a real shame you can’t export everything and bring those settings into other websites as I’d like to have this set up on most of my clients sites but I have hundreds!
Learning how to combine plugins as you tutor is a fantastic contribution to the wordpress community. Thanks so much. I am trying to add front end editing functionality to a themebuilder popup plus after date in dynamicconditions. Could I create a custom post type with a popup contents and with dynamicconditions fields?
Hi Paul, been an ardent follower of this channel for a while now and I must say you are doing a great job, I never miss any of your videos all very insightful and the fact that all of this is free is just mind-blowing. Thank you for doing this. QUESTION from this video, is it possible to put all of the templates and customizations from the mix of this plugin into something one can install into a new website built versus having to go through the process of creating a new dashboard each time? (from Nigeria)
I've not tried this, but you could setup a simple doner site, create the dashboard and relevant pages and then use the WordPress exported to export the pages and the Elementor option to export your template files. On your new site, install the key plugins and do the reverse process from above. Theoretically, that should work as I don't believe there are any specific settings that relate to the site or a user included.
@@WPTuts Thanks, I tried this already from another of my sites, feel like too many moving parts looking for stuff around, but the "doner" site idea seems like a great idea, will set that up so I'll always have where to go get it from. thank you once again for all your videos.
Thats a good one! - I do really appreciate the content you put out for us - premium tuts! You once did a video using WP User Frontend Pro. One the payment option is included as well as woo - I am wondering if it is worth switching to ACF Frontend. May I kindly ask your opinion on both of these frontend plugins. Like a short WPUF vs ACF Frontend ... Please keep on doing that GREAT work Paul.
WPUF Pro is a great plugin, but can be a little complex and time consuming to do many different things. From an ease of use point of view, I'd say that ACF Frontend Pro is easier to implement but is currently lacking the payment and WooCommerce options. That being said, both of those functions are currently in development and should be released very soon. I would recommend keeping an eye on ACF Frontend Pro and once those extras are released, I would probably opt for using that over WPUF Pro just for its simplicity and speed in which you can integrate it into your site.
Thanks for this tutorial. If you really want your users to stay out of the WP back-end, then this would certainly be one way, and a very beautiful and elegant one indeed! I am just not convinced yet it would also be my way, as I would probably go for a combination of user permissions and admin menu settings. Can you, for instance, with this dashboard give people access to, say, Yoast SEO fields for a given post?
I like what you're showing here. What about MultiSite where a user has access to more than one site? How does the redirect work there and/or will this actually work?
Hi Paul, best wishes for 2022. Again a great video. I've created my frontend dashboard for Clients, but only published posts are listed in 'Edit Post' functionality. Usually I have an intermediate state 'Pending review' for posts and I'd like Clients to be able to edit 'Pending Review' or 'Draft' posts from their frontend dashboard. How can I achieve that ? Thanks
Thanks Paul for sharing your knowledge with us, you will go to heaven. I accessed your channel today and I realized that I follow you since 2014, and I can say I have learned lots of things with your channel. Your teaching method is clear and efficient. Do you think this technique would work well with Learndash as well? I'm in the middle of a LD project and I would like to build a custom LD-WP dashboard for the customer. I ask it 'cause Learndash seems way more complex. Cheers from Brazil.
Hi Paul, You are doing great 👍 you teach us everything in best way, Please make a video on styling Woocommerce variations select dropdown. I need to do it in my website but i'm unable to do it as i want, also tell us how can we add JS or Ajax in elementor. Thanks :)
I wrote code as you did and follow you step by step but my (options) tab didn't appear on dashboard sidebar i uninstalled and reinstalled plugins but nothing change could you help me please.
My new Editor user wasn't redirecting to the dashboard page, and I've just worked out why. At 9:30 into the video, Paul says that changing the user type in the code from 'author' to 'editor' will redirect administrators and editors to the new dashboard page, when in fact it will do the opposite - it will redirect all users EXCEPT admins and editors. When he clicks save on the video it looks like it resets to "author" instead of "editor", which makes the fact that Paul's new Editor user is being redirected to the new dashboard page but ours isn't make a lot more sense.
Thank you for the video I am in the process of trying to create something like this. I was using ACF..: just wondering if there is any reason you wouldn’t use jetengine?
Is there a "how to" on setting up the "Manage Users" or "Comments" loop as can be seen at 29:54 of the video? I'd think it's similar to the "List Posts" loop but, I'm not getting it.
They were just placeholders to fill out the dashboard design, but all you need to do is copy the link to the All Users and Comments pages in the admin of WordPress. That's pretty much all they were intended to do.
@@WPTuts I could indeed add links to the Users and Comments pages in the admin of WordPress. But, that defeats what I was hoping to accomplish from the demo … to keep clients out of the typical admin area of WordPress yet still have basic functions like, add or edit users. The placeholder through me for a loop. I’ll rethink strategy. Thanks for the reply .. both here and Facebook. ))
Hi, I would like to build a wordpress wedding sites platform, This platform would allow the users to input with some personal information about their wedding in some already wedding sites models, that the user will choose. Like some sites as "The Knot", "Joy", "Zola". Could you give some clues, steps in order to make this work ? Thanks in advance
Hello, very good, your videos have earned a subscriber. I am starting in this world and you could make a video of a dynamic web, to be able to change photos, texts, titles since there is not much information, it would be like a self-managing or dynamic web. Cheers
Hi Paul, been implementing your tutorials - thank you so much for the amazing content!! One question: What plugin/set up do you recommend for adding a simple sign up/registration page that links through to the dashboard as well, just like it does for existing users as you demonstrated in this tutorial?
Hi Paul, Fantastic videos and they all helping me build my site, I've followed the tutorial and everything works great apart from when you add a new post and it is set to private it does not appear in the post loop by author (it does if the post is public), logged in user is set to editor, could you explain why this is or does your method only work if the posts are public.
Hey Paul, Thanks for this amazing video. Im having troubles to make this work. Im already have a child theme and i was edit the functions.php like you do, but when i logging a Editor user role, this go directly to the usual dashboard instead. I used the corrected code that you posted in the comments. Thanks Mate.
Hi Paul. Is it possible to download the Elementor Dashboard template ? JotURL is throwing a 404 error Sir. I know this is somewhat old now and if you happen to have an updated version, I'd be happy to search for it in your channel. As always, I appreciate the work you do.
Hey Paul. Another great tutorial. Quick question can we achieve the same dashboard results using Jet Engine and Jet Smart Filters along with ACF FEF Pro or is ACF required?
You could create something similar with the new frontend posting tools in JetEngine. But you couldn't use ACF Frontend Forms Pro as that is currently ACF only. If you have a look at the channel, I posted a video a couple of weeks ago showing the new Crocoblock/JetEngine features that make a user dashboard and front-end posting possible. 👍
Hi and congrats for great tuts video. I have a little question for this in particular... if i want to open "edit post (or custom post type) from" in a new page instead of modal popup, is possible and eventually in wich way? Tnx so much
So interesting, thanks for this premium content... you're making me double guess the choices I made to build business directories... I have a question, which paying component would you recommend to use with Elementor Pro and ACF to charge users for listings and have enough flexibility?
Thank you good one. My Question now: As my client site has wooCommerce and customer can use the traditional wooCommerce dashboard, Can I add additionally or $user->has_cap( 'customer') as I am intending to build the dashboard for subscriber role alone?
Display queries question here - I'm making a "dashboard" where users can see their posts as per this tutorial! I have an elementor posts widget with the query to only show current users posts. It works, but it's only showing published posts. Is there a way I can show drafts / pending review posts?
Good night, I liked the video, I have a problem, I need to display the categories (the taxonomies) but display only those that the logged in users created. How do I do this? the list you showed in the video how to hide with dynamic field per user
Very great Job. This was very very useful for me! Thanks I have a question: These setups are good also with the Multilingual platform? Because I need to translate in different languages all of the fields and related messages and notifications based on specific language of user.
I'm looking for a way to upload photos to an Elementor gallery from a front-end page. Is that possible using this method or do you have a video explaining how that's done? I see ACF Pro has the Gallery option but not sure if that allows you to come back in at different times to upload to the same gallery after its initial creation.

I'm not too sure what you mean. If all you need to do is create a simple frontend upload form, then the free version of the plugin used in this tutorial should do the trick: th-cam.com/video/iHx7krTqRN0/w-d-xo.html
Fantastic tut, as usual, Paul! Can I do this with Elementor Pro and Jetengine instead? JE appears to have much of the things you're using with ACF, ACF FE, APQ, and Ele.
If you have a taxonomy with your ACF group how do you get it show on the front end here? In the backend it shows on the right hand side but I cant find an option to select my taxonomy/catagories
I have the same question, because ACF is showing only categories option.
@@MoxetKhan Same. I can add a custom field group so that shows but when you select the options in it, it doesn't actually register the post in the taxonomy.
@@MoxetKhan I think I found the answer. Create a field group for your taxonomy so it shows in the form. Make sure your field group has save terms set to yes. This will connect the taxonomy terms to the new post which means you don't need the post categories field anymore.
@@digwillhachi yes it works fine, i tried it before but my only mistake was save term disable. Thank you ...
This video was exactly what I needed to learn! Thank you!!!
One thing I'm struggling with - does anyone know how to make it so users can view their own 'Pending' or even 'Draft' posts? Even better, if they could view and edit them. Even when I give my users Editor access (I really only want them to be 'Contributors'), I still can't make it so they can see *their own* pending/draft posts from the front end.
I believe the Draft options have been updated in the pro version of the plugin. th-cam.com/video/Glo7I_9f26g/w-d-xo.html
The template page is no longer available. Can you provide the new link?
I am also wanting this template as well please!
Hi Paul, once again thx for the outstanding tutorial. I'd like to know wether is possible, maybe via some custom code (?), to have the "Add posts" private page *child* of the "Dashboard" private page. It just makes more sense to me having such a tree, since the add posts funcionality is part of the dashboard.
I had to subscribe. No choice. Priceless!!!
Really nice tutorial. Love it.
Can you suggest how to edit the Profile Picture/Avatar (I am using Simple Local Avatars) from this dashboard. That would just complete the profile editing part.
This is also what I'd like to know.
@@kjkilojoules I discarded the simple local avatar and worked it out with ACF.
Hi Paul brilliant video as always 👍🏻
Once I’ve created a setup I like is there a simple way to roll that out to other client sites that would need the same set up too?
Not a really simple way. If you were going to use the same structure (ACF fields, for example) then a dummy site that could be cloned or if you were using something like Local by Flywheel, you could create a template for the setup.
Alternatively, if you were only using standard WordPress features (Posts, pages, etc) that would be a lot easier as you are using the standard WP features and not complicating matters with ACF.
Off the top of my head, I can't see an easier way unless it could somehow be packaged, but that's currently beyond my pay grade. lol
WPTuts it’s a real shame you can’t export everything and bring those settings into other websites as I’d like to have this set up on most of my clients sites but I have hundreds!
Another excellent video Paul! My only issue is I use Hello theme and it appears there is no 'options' option possible with it?
The Options isn't to do with the theme, it's a function you can add through ACF but isn't overly important. :)
Learning how to combine plugins as you tutor is a fantastic contribution to the wordpress community. Thanks so much.
I am trying to add front end editing functionality to a themebuilder popup plus after date in dynamicconditions. Could I create a custom post type with a popup contents and with dynamicconditions fields?
Hi Paul, been an ardent follower of this channel for a while now and I must say you are doing a great job, I never miss any of your videos all very insightful and the fact that all of this is free is just mind-blowing. Thank you for doing this. QUESTION from this video, is it possible to put all of the templates and customizations from the mix of this plugin into something one can install into a new website built versus having to go through the process of creating a new dashboard each time? (from Nigeria)
I've not tried this, but you could setup a simple doner site, create the dashboard and relevant pages and then use the WordPress exported to export the pages and the Elementor option to export your template files.
On your new site, install the key plugins and do the reverse process from above.
Theoretically, that should work as I don't believe there are any specific settings that relate to the site or a user included.
@@WPTuts Thanks, I tried this already from another of my sites, feel like too many moving parts looking for stuff around, but the "doner" site idea seems like a great idea, will set that up so I'll always have where to go get it from. thank you once again for all your videos.
Great one , thank you, Is there a way to pull builder like brizy in the frontend , so the user can drag and drop elements of his custom post?
Great topic Paul. Thanks for the video. Is there a way to do it with out additional plugins than Elementor and some additional coding.
If you're happy editing template files, etc., then I'm sure you could build something similar to this. :0)
Thats a good one! - I do really appreciate the content you put out for us - premium tuts!
You once did a video using WP User Frontend Pro. One the payment option is included as well as woo - I am wondering if it is worth switching to ACF Frontend.
May I kindly ask your opinion on both of these frontend plugins. Like a short WPUF vs ACF Frontend ...
Please keep on doing that GREAT work Paul.
WPUF Pro is a great plugin, but can be a little complex and time consuming to do many different things. From an ease of use point of view, I'd say that ACF Frontend Pro is easier to implement but is currently lacking the payment and WooCommerce options.
That being said, both of those functions are currently in development and should be released very soon. I would recommend keeping an eye on ACF Frontend Pro and once those extras are released, I would probably opt for using that over WPUF Pro just for its simplicity and speed in which you can integrate it into your site.
Thanks for this tutorial. If you really want your users to stay out of the WP back-end, then this would certainly be one way, and a very beautiful and elegant one indeed! I am just not convinced yet it would also be my way, as I would probably go for a combination of user permissions and admin menu settings. Can you, for instance, with this dashboard give people access to, say, Yoast SEO fields for a given post?
I like what you're showing here. What about MultiSite where a user has access to more than one site? How does the redirect work there and/or will this actually work?
brilliant sir thank you i want to test it on an multivendor marketplace multi language ,im afraid to break it what do you suggest
This is helpful man. And I enjoyed it. Thank you
wow. very creative. nicely done.
Fantastique ! My client needs the same thing but her site is in French and English via WPML. What is the best approach in the frontend ?
Hi Paul, best wishes for 2022. Again a great video. I've created my frontend dashboard for Clients, but only published posts are listed in 'Edit Post' functionality. Usually I have an intermediate state 'Pending review' for posts and I'd like Clients to be able to edit 'Pending Review' or 'Draft' posts from their frontend dashboard. How can I achieve that ? Thanks
Thanks Paul for sharing your knowledge with us, you will go to heaven.
I accessed your channel today and I realized that I follow you since 2014, and I can say I have learned lots of things with your channel. Your teaching method is clear and efficient.
Do you think this technique would work well with Learndash as well? I'm in the middle of a LD project and I would like to build a custom LD-WP dashboard for the customer. I ask it 'cause Learndash seems way more complex. Cheers from Brazil.
"Download Elementor Dashboard Template" - not a working link
Is there any easy way to have the edit post dialog open in a modal on desktop and some other way on a tablet or phone?
Hi Paul, You are doing great 👍 you teach us everything in best way, Please make a video on styling Woocommerce variations select dropdown. I need to do it in my website but i'm unable to do it as i want, also tell us how can we add JS or Ajax in elementor. Thanks :)
I wrote code as you did and follow you step by step but my (options) tab didn't appear on dashboard sidebar i uninstalled and reinstalled plugins but nothing change could you help me please.
My new Editor user wasn't redirecting to the dashboard page, and I've just worked out why. At 9:30 into the video, Paul says that changing the user type in the code from 'author' to 'editor' will redirect administrators and editors to the new dashboard page, when in fact it will do the opposite - it will redirect all users EXCEPT admins and editors. When he clicks save on the video it looks like it resets to "author" instead of "editor", which makes the fact that Paul's new Editor user is being redirected to the new dashboard page but ours isn't make a lot more sense.
Thank you for the video I am in the process of trying to create something like this. I was using ACF..: just wondering if there is any reason you wouldn’t use jetengine?
Is there a "how to" on setting up the "Manage Users" or "Comments" loop as can be seen at 29:54 of the video? I'd think it's similar to the "List Posts" loop but, I'm not getting it.
They were just placeholders to fill out the dashboard design, but all you need to do is copy the link to the All Users and Comments pages in the admin of WordPress. That's pretty much all they were intended to do.
@@WPTuts I could indeed add links to the Users and Comments pages in the admin of WordPress. But, that defeats what I was hoping to accomplish from the demo … to keep clients out of the typical admin area of WordPress yet still have basic functions like, add or edit users. The placeholder through me for a loop.
I’ll rethink strategy. Thanks for the reply .. both here and Facebook. ))
Thanks for this great video. The link to the dashboard template not working. Kindly update. Thanks
Hi, I would like to build a wordpress wedding sites platform, This platform would allow the users to input with some personal information about their wedding in some already wedding sites models, that the user will choose. Like some sites as "The Knot", "Joy", "Zola". Could you give some clues, steps in order to make this work ? Thanks in advance
Hello, very good, your videos have earned a subscriber. I am starting in this world and you could make a video of a dynamic web, to be able to change photos, texts, titles since there is not much information, it would be like a self-managing or dynamic web. Cheers
Hi Paul, been implementing your tutorials - thank you so much for the amazing content!! One question: What plugin/set up do you recommend for adding a simple sign up/registration page that links through to the dashboard as well, just like it does for existing users as you demonstrated in this tutorial?
Hi Paul, Fantastic videos and they all helping me build my site, I've followed the tutorial and everything works great apart from when you add a new post and it is set to private it does not appear in the post loop by author (it does if the post is public), logged in user is set to editor, could you explain why this is or does your method only work if the posts are public.
Hey Paul, Thanks for this amazing video. Im having troubles to make this work. Im already have a child theme and i was edit the functions.php like you do, but when i logging a Editor user role, this go directly to the usual dashboard instead. I used the corrected code that you posted in the comments.
Thanks Mate.
Same Problem here...
Hi Paul. Is it possible to download the Elementor Dashboard template ? JotURL is throwing a 404 error Sir. I know this is somewhat old now and if you happen to have an updated version, I'd be happy to search for it in your channel. As always, I appreciate the work you do.
Hey Paul. Another great tutorial. Quick question can we achieve the same dashboard results using Jet Engine and Jet Smart Filters along with ACF FEF Pro or is ACF required?
You could create something similar with the new frontend posting tools in JetEngine. But you couldn't use ACF Frontend Forms Pro as that is currently ACF only.
If you have a look at the channel, I posted a video a couple of weeks ago showing the new Crocoblock/JetEngine features that make a user dashboard and front-end posting possible. 👍
@@WPTuts Can you please paste the link to the video here for easy access?
How do you make the categories as a dropdown? Mine just has a radio button next to it. I can't figure out how to make a a dropdown.
Hi and congrats for great tuts video.
I have a little question for this in particular...
if i want to open "edit post (or custom post type) from" in a new page instead of modal popup, is possible and eventually in wich way?
Tnx so much
Amazing! Just what I needed
Excuse me, it's a wonderful tutorial , where can i find json for templates?
Thanks, Really opened my eyes Paul :)
So interesting, thanks for this premium content... you're making me double guess the choices I made to build business directories... I have a question, which paying component would you recommend to use with Elementor Pro and ACF to charge users for listings and have enough flexibility?
I'd probably wait until the payment options are added to ACF Frontend Forms Pro. I believe that should be sometime this month. 👍
@@WPTuts Thanks, appreciate the quick reply!
Help
I need to add in "new post" the option to select a custom taxonomy that I add with CPT UI, but only the categories of the "Post" section appear.
The taxonomies are usually created in ACF and you use the ACF field group to get to the custom taxonomy
Hi,
i enjoy this kind of videos!
Thank you good one.
My Question now: As my client site has wooCommerce and customer can use the traditional wooCommerce dashboard, Can I add additionally or $user->has_cap( 'customer') as I am intending to build the dashboard for subscriber role alone?
Thanks for reading my mind and posting this tutorial!
i don't know why but I have implemented correct code in functions.php but still options tab is not showing.
please help
Display queries question here - I'm making a "dashboard" where users can see their posts as per this tutorial! I have an elementor posts widget with the query to only show current users posts. It works, but it's only showing published posts. Is there a way I can show drafts / pending review posts?
Good night, I liked the video, I have a problem, I need to display the categories (the taxonomies) but display only those that the logged in users created. How do I do this? the list you showed in the video how to hide with dynamic field per user
Very great Job. This was very very useful for me! Thanks
I have a question: These setups are good also with the Multilingual platform? Because I need to translate in different languages all of the fields and related messages and notifications based on specific language of user.
I'm looking for a way to upload photos to an Elementor gallery from a front-end page. Is that possible using this method or do you have a video explaining how that's done? I see ACF Pro has the Gallery option but not sure if that allows you to come back in at different times to upload to the same gallery after its initial creation.
Just in time, lol. Just yesterday I started a customer Dashboard.
Hopefully this will help :)
@@WPTuts Just try to figure out how to make a user admin board, with a list of pending users and approved users, with a link to edit their user's profile. With dinamic.ooo I managed to make the list but not how to link to edit
How can the different tutors create course from the frontend without accessing the backend of the dashboard.. please help me
