WordPress Demo Login Credentials
Thank you for purchasing our plugin!
Please see the following guide on how to get started creating demo users for your site.
Installation
From the WordPress plugin installer, click the "Upload Plugin" button and, in the section that drops down afterwards, select wp-demo-login-credentials.zip and click "Install Now".
Be sure to click "Activate Plugin" on the page that follows.
Configuration
Once installed and activated, the plugin can be configured at Users > Demo Users Configuration.
The following options are available:
Enable/Disable: check this box to enable the plugin. If the plugin is disabled, you will not be able to create demo user accounts and there will be no demo credentials shown on the WordPress login page.
Default Demo Password: this will be the default password that will be displayed on the login page for any new demo user you can add. Its initial value is 1234. You can override this when creating or editing a demo user.
Creating Demo Users
Demo users are created the same way any other user is created from the WordPress admin panel: from Users > Add New . To create a new demo user:
Head on to Users > Add New . Fill in the basic information for the demo user.
After the standard WordPress fields for a new user, you will find a "Demo Login Settings" section if the plugin has been installed and is enabled. If you are not trying to create a demo user, you can simply ignore this section.
There are three "Demo Login Settings" options:
Demo User: check this box to tag this user as a demo user. If this box is not checked, the user will not be recognized as a demo user and, importantly, they can NOT be tagged as a demo user later. Similarly, if you check this box to specify this user as a demo user, you can not convert them to a normal user later. However, you can choose not to display their credentials on the login page.
Credentials Title: this will be the title for the user's credentials when they are displayed on the login page. A title helps people know what role they are assuming when they login using a given set of credentials, particularly in the case where you are displaying credentials for multiple demo users.
Custom Demo Password: setting a value for this will override the Default Demo Password specified in the plugin's configuration for this user (only). To keep the default password, leave this field empty. If you do set a custom password here, remember to set the "Password" field for this user to the same value you set here.
Click "Add New User" to create the demo user.
The demo user would now been created, and their credentials will now be displayed on the WordPress login page.
Editing Demo Users
A demo user's details are modified the same way a regular WordPress user's details are modified: by clicking on their username on the WordPress users' listing page.
For demo users however, you will find a "Demo Login Settings" section on their settings page, that allows you to modify options similar to the ones that were available on creating the demo user:
Display credentials: check this box to display the demo user's credentials on the WordPress login page. This checkbox is checked by default when you create a new demo user. You may uncheck this box to prevent a demo user's credentials from being displayed on the WordPress login page.
Credentials Title: same as in creating a demo user, this specifies the title for the user's credentials when they are displayed on the login page.
Custom Demo Password: same as before, setting a value for this will override the Default Demo Password specified in the plugin's configuration for this user (only). To keep the default password, leave this field empty.
Remember, if you modify the "Custom Demo Password" field while editing a demo user, you need to modify the user's WordPress password as well; so that the password that is displayed on the login page can actually be used to log in.
Click on "Update User" to save your changes.
Deleting Demo Users
As you might expect, you can delete demo users the same way you delete other WordPress users. When you delete a demo user, their demo details get deleted, and their credentials will no longer be displayed on the login page.
