About This Plugin
4WP Account is a membership-ready user account hub: user registration, a front-end user profile cabinet, email/password sign-in, and social network login (OAuth). Native Gutenberg blocks each have a matching shortcode. WooCommerce is optional.
A plugin by 4wp.dev. 4WP is our project brand; the letters “WP” appear only as part of that brand name, not as a reference to WordPress. This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by WordPress.
Source code: github.com/4wpdev/4wp-account
Membership and user account

- User profile shell with a configurable account menu (dashboard, WooCommerce, extras)
- User registration follows Settings General Anyone can register
- Email/password works without WooCommerce

wp-login.php— only when the chosen page already has a login block or shortcode
