Let's check each option in detail:

## General Options

### Hide Admin Bar

This option is providing you a choice whether you want to show admin bar for non-admin users or not. If you have enabled this option, then admin bar will be hidden from all users except who have either 'Administrator' role OR selected roles in 'Exclude role.." select box.

### Rename wp-admin Folder

Here you have facility to rename wp-admin folder to prevent hacking and security issues. You need to be careful while changing this option.

When you enable this option, popup with important notices will open as shown in below image. Please read all the notices before proceed. You will see one URL in this popup. Do not forget to save that URL. It will help you to rollback this change to default in critical situation. When you will run this URL, new wp-admin path will revert to default path /wp-admin.

After enabling switch, you will have other option for New wp-admin Path where you are able to write new path or name for wp-admin ( e.g. panel, cp ).

Before you enable this option, you should check your wp-config.php file and .htaccess file write permission. If both files will have write permission, then you don't need to do an extra effort, just enable this option, change wp-admin name if you want and save settings. You will be logged out automatically. Now your website admin panel can be accessed by only new name or https://yoursiteurl.com/wp-login.php

But, if any of the two files will not have write permission then in such case when you rename wp-admin and try to save settings, then a popup will open containing file change instructions as shown in below.

You must need to follow each instruction strictly and only then after click 'OK, I did it' button. After this you will be logged out. If you press this button without doing change in files, then you will not be able to login again. If you will press 'Abort Renaming' button, then 'Rename wp-admin' settings will not be saved, but all other settings will be saved.

If you have renamed wp-admin from other plugin, this setting will remain disabled. Also it will not work with Multisite.

## Manage Preset Form Fields

Once you add a new field in sign up form and save the form, then those new fields having new 'meta_keys' will be added in the list of 'Preset Fields'. So you can use these fields directly in other forms too.

But once field is added in Preset Field list, any change in that field will not affect that preset field. These preset fields are displayed in Add/Edit Member page.

1. Edit Preset Fields

   Suppose you have added a dropdown labeled Gender in sign up form. This field have two values 'Male and 'Female'. Now you have saved the form. So Gender field will be added in Preset field list. Now suppose you want to add third option in this dropdown. let's say 'Transgender'. So you will edit the form and add new option for this dropdown and save the form. But this option is not added in Preset field 'Gender'. So in Add Member page you will see only two options 'Male' and 'Female'.

   So if you want to update preset fields, then you need to click on this button. Popup will open containing all Preset Fields where you can change label and values of all preset fields.

2. Clear Preset Form Fields

   To remove specific form fields with its value, click on this button, popup opens, select fields which you want to remove from everywhere.

   All the fields you will add in any of sign up forms will be automatically added in the list of "Preset Fields" section of form builder. Sometimes it happens that some fields becomes unnecessary so you will remove that fields from sign up form, but those fields will still remain as it is in "Preset Fields" section even if they were deleted, so you can add them in the form from Preset Field, if again needed in future.

   But sometimes you have added fields for testing purpose and then deleted those fields from forms. If those fields will not be deleted from Preset Fields, then Preset Field list will be longer and longer. Also those deleted fields will be displayed in "Edit Member" page of administrator area. So you must need some way to clear these unused fields from everywhere.

   For these, ARMember Provides `Clear From Field` setting in `General Settings`.

   Suppose you have added a text box of "Address" in sign up form. So it will be also added in Preset Fields section. Now if you have deleted address field for any reason. But it still appears in "Preset Fields" section.

   Now to remove "Address" field from "Preset Field" section, use "Clear Form Field" button. Click on it, then popup will open as shown below.

   From popup, you can select all the fields that you want to delete from everywhere. You will see some checkboxes remain disabled as they are default fields and cannot be deleted from sign up form. Checkboxes for other fields will be enabled only if that fields were deleted from sign up form first.

   If data entry exists for any of those fields, then you will see "(Entry Exist)" in red letter beside that field checkbox. Now Select all the fields, that you want to delete from everywhere and click OK button. That's it. All selected unused fields will be removed from everywhere.

Custom CSS

Here you are able to set custom styles ( CSS ) for your integrated membership front-end page.

### Pre Populate Fields Support

Often a form will contain several generic fields that many respondents will answer in the same way. Rather than making users fill in these fields, which can be repetitive and time consuming, you can pre-populate them with the correct information so that, when users open the form, these fields will already be filled in. To do so, you will need the form’s URL and the variable names associated with the fields they want to fill in.

Field values can be passed into a form by appending them to the form’s URL using the following structure:

`baseURL?variable1=value`

Replace baseURL with the form’s URL, variable1 with the `name attribute` associated with the field to be filled in and value with the appropriate `plan's ID` value. To fill in multiple fields, insert the ampersand symbol (&) before any additional variables:

`baseURL?variable1=value&variable2=value`

##### For Example:

    http://your_site_url/membership-setup-page/?subscription_plan=2

The result of above example will be like - the plan with plan id value 2 get selected.

# Invite Only Member

This option will be available from "Configure Plan + Signup Page" and Addon "Coupon" is required to be activated.

Here, Coupon code will work as "special code / Invite code".

If this option is enabled then user will get an option to add Coupon Code at time of registration and this will be a compulsory field. So, if you want to make a system to allow registration with some specific invitation code then this option will be helpful.

Once user get logged into system, this code will work normally as coupon code.

If you are setting an "Invite code" with some percent of discount (for example : 10%), then that code will work as both "invitation code" as well as it will give discount (10%) to that user on payment.

Often a form will contain several generic fields that many respondents will answer in the same way. Rather than making users fill in these fields, which can be repetitive and time consuming, you can pre-populate them with the correct information so that, when users open the form, these fields will already be filled in. To do so, you will need the form’s URL and the variable names associated with the fields they want to fill in.

Field values can be passed into a form by appending them to the form’s URL using the following structure:

`baseURL?variable1=value`

Replace baseURL with the form’s URL, variable1 with the `name attribute` associated with the field to be filled in and value with the appropriate field value. To fill in multiple fields, insert the ampersand symbol (&) before any additional variables:

`baseURL?variable1=value&variable2=value`

##### For Example:

    http://your_site_url/arm_register/?user_login=abcd

### Font-Awesome Support

If users purchase a membership plan using myCred option as payment gateway then user does not need to pay money. instead of money, user's myCred points will be deducted.

Let's see the calculation of deduction myCred points.

For Example: If plan amount is 10$. and you have set the value 0.500 for the option `1 Point =` from the `ARMember`->`General Settings`->`Payment Gateways`. so the number of myCred points will be deducted like: (plan price x 1 ) / set the amount for 1 point =. so in our example (10 x 1) / 0.500 = 20. so 20 myCred points will be deducted.

### Display myCred Point in Membership Card

Or, maybe you need to display something different to non-members.

NESTED Conditions require a preceding underscore ( i.e., `_armif`, `__armif` ). You can go up to three levels deep ( e.g., `___armif` ).

##### example

    [armif is_blog_index()] Content Goes Here [/armif]

    [armif is_page(24)]
        //NESTED Conditional Expressions
        [_armif current_user_can(armember_access_plan_2)]
            Content appears here.
        [/_armif]
    [/armif]

    [armif is_user_logged_in()]
        //Implementing AND/OR Conditional Expressions
        [_armif is_page(5) OR is_page(6)]
            Content appears here.
        [/_armif]
    [/armif]

### Supported Conditional Tags:
