disable-guest-login-1-first When setting up the Moodle login for users, the Login as a Guest button displays by default. When the site is set to Auto-login guests, the login as guest button does not need to display, as the guest visiting the site will be logged in automaticallyn. Also, most schools using the Moodle software will only want their students to login and not guests. This can be removed from the login page through the Site administration section. This article will explain how to hide the Guest login button from the Moodle 2.3 login page.

  1. Log into the Moodle Dashboard
  2. disable-guest-login-2-click-moodleNavigate to Site administration > Plugins > Authentication > Manage authentication in the settings.
  3. disable-guest-login-3-hide-moodleOn the Manage authentication page, select Hide on the Guest login button field.
