Problem:

I want to restrict access to the entire site except the login page, but Toolset Access only allows controlling specific parts of the site, not full-site access.

Solution:

Use a third-party plugin like Restricted Site Access (https://wordpress.org/plugins/restricted-site-access/) to block the entire site except the login page; then use Toolset Access alongside it to control internal access by user role. Compatibility between the two should be tested on your specific setup.

Problem:

I need to create a view that displays posts from a custom post type (CPT) published between two selected dates. The end-user should be able to select the date range (start and end) using calendar date pickers on the front end.

Solution:

Create a custom field to store the published date of posts. Use the legacy Views interface to create the view, and manually add select boxes for the date range. Then, apply custom code to modify the query and reload the page with filtered results.
