Très bonne extension
by Wilm39·6 days ago

Excellent travail pour cette extension légère et fort pratique.

Lovely plugin
by oberstlynild·6 months ago

Pff, someone left a 1 star review just because you easily can fix it with CSS. Cmon.

The plugin does what it says without hassle. Clean 5 star from me.

I would like to add a feedback here too: In the settings you can hide the admin panel for specific user roles – would it be possible to implement hiding the admin panel for specific usernames?

Good to go with BuddyPress
by yesnotes·1 year ago

My problem was me – after installing BuddyPress – that I had two login options – the wp-one and the BBpress one.

In order not to confuse my new visitors – with that plugin I was able to disable the WordPress-plugin.
