Description
Contact Dashboard should be available in the "shortcode generator" pop-up form for pages and posts AND permissions need to be fixed to allow logged in front-end WP users to access their dashboard.
NOTE: The link / menu item pointing to Contact Dashboard should be configured so it is not visible to anonymous visitors. They will get the CiviCRM "fatal" - you do not have permission to access this page - screen if they attempt to access the contact dashboard either via shortcode or direct link.
– Original Post --------
I would like to have my logged in registered site users be able to view their Contact Dashboard on the front-end of my Wordpress site, just as they can do in Joomla. My main objective is for the users to be able to view their contribution history on their user-specific dashboard. Currently, when logged in to my Wordpress site as the Admin, I can get my contact dashboard to show up on the front end using this link http://www.hivaidszimbabwe.org/myHAZ/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/user&reset=1
However, as you should notice upon clicking the above link, when I am logged out, I get an error message when accessing that link. It would be nice to get some kind of customizable message to show instead, asking the user to login. However, I can live with this issue by using custom menus, if I can only get non-admin users to also be able to view their contact dashboard. Right now, a logged in, non admin user also gets the same error message you should be seeing when you click the above link, even though they are logged in.
