Blocking Administrative Access to Editor /Authors and Subcribers?

Use this if you want to completely block the access to the Admin panel: (copy the code to your functions.php theme file)* * Hide the admin bar in the front end */ add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false'); /* * Redirects Authors and Subscribers to the site front page using: get_home_url() */ add_action('admin_init','wpse_53675_block_users'); function wpse_53675_block_users() { if( current_user_can('author') || current_user_can('subscriber')) { wp_redirect( get_home_url(), 301 ); exit; }

Or use this other one if you want the users to have access only to their profile page:

/* * Redirect Authors and Subscribers to the site front page * Except if viewing the Profile page */ add_action('admin_init','wpse_53675_block_users'); function wpse_53675_block_users() { global $pagenow; if( 'profile.php' == $pagenow ) return; if( current_user_can('author') || current_user_can('subscriber') ) { wp_redirect( get_home_url(), 301 ); exit; } } /* * Hide all menus from the Admin panel * Except the profile item */ add_action('admin_menu', 'wpse_53675_remove_admin_menus', 999); function wpse_53675_remove_admin_menus() { if( current_user_can('author') ) { remove_menu_page('index.php'); remove_menu_page('edit.php'); remove_menu_page('upload.php'); remove_menu_page('link-manager.php'); remove_menu_page('edit.php?post_type=page'); remove_menu_page('edit-comments.php'); remove_menu_page('tools.php'); } if( current_user_can('subscriber') ) { remove_menu_page('index.php'); } }
