Hi

I don't want anyone with a WP user role - admin, editor etc to be able to login via the frontend [frm-login] form.

I have two other roles set up, e.g. role-1 and role-2 and I only want those roles to be able to login using the frontend login form.

Is there a way to do this out the box?

Thanks

Use WP's authenticate filter - https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/authenticate/. It's not "out of the Formidable box", but there's no such feature for Formidable especially since the Formidable login UI is just going through WordPress's login anyway.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.

If you have access to your functions.php file (preferably in a child theme) then this is quite easy to manage with some basic php code.Just ask CoPilot (or other AI) exactly what you want and you should be able to implemented this within a couple minutes.
