I would like to know if there is a plugin available or a way to achieve a registration process for a WordPress site that would be completely separate from thee site’s users that can see the backend. To clarify a bit, we want to have two registrations available, one for site admins or editors that have access to the actual WordPress backend, and one for additional clients that don’t have access to the WordPress backend and do not share the same user database table. We would not want them to even be listed as “Users” in the WordPress backend. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
WordPress Registration Separate From User Registration
Create a separate system which uses OpenID. It’s easiest
You should go to your dashboard and check that the default user role is set to subscriber. Subscribers only role is to read posts, they don’t have access to the dashboard.
