Create Parent and Student Link from Admin #
Step 1: To create a link between parent and student as an administrator, navigate to Parent Access in your WordPress dashboard.

Step 2: Click Create New Link
Step 3: Select which parents and students to link from the drop-down menu.
Step 4: Click Save.

The parent and student link will appear as a link but the student must accept the invite link via email for the link to be confirmed.

Link Students from the Frontend of Your Site #
Creating a parent and student link can be done on the front-end of the website using the Parent & Student Access plugin’s shortcode.
Step 1: Create a page and call it anything you want.
Step 2: Add the following shortcode to the page:
[ldpa_link_accounts]
This will display a page where students can be added with email, without email, and allow courses to be linked.

Add Student With Email #
Step 1: Navigate to the page where you inserted the [ldpa_link_accounts] shortcode.

Step 2: Type in the student’s email address and click Add Child. The student must confirm the link for the connection to be confirmed.

Add Student Without Email #
For this setting to be enabled, admins must allow parents to add students without an email address.

Step 1: Fill out the student’s first name, last name, give them a username, and create a password. An auto-generated password will display if you choose to use that.
Step 2: Click Add Child. The student will be assigned a default email. E.g. “[parent email]+@domain.com”.

This is not clear. Do the children need to have their own unique email addresses? There is very little information included here, so it is not clear. I need a solution where the linked child account does not need it’s own email address.
Thanks for your help.
Hello Peter,
Students do not need their own email address to be added by a parent. When a student is added, they will be assigned a “default” email address such as “support+studentname@honorswp.com”. We are currently working on updating our documentation to be more clear.
