<description>&#60;p&#62;Thanks smallwei.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;blockquote&#62;&#60;p&#62;1. hide-dashboard actually has a working redirect function called: wphd_admin_redirect&#60;br /&#62;
you probably need to customize it to fit your need, but it works very well.&#60;/p&#62;&#60;/blockquote&#62;
&#60;p&#62;All right I will try it.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;blockquote&#62;&#60;p&#62;2. I added the following function into hide-dashboard plugin to hide the more information link in profile page.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;function wphd_hide_help_link() {&#60;br /&#62;
		echo &#34;\n&#34; . '&#38;lt;style type=&#34;text/css&#34;&#38;gt;#your-profile .form-table a { display: none; }&#38;lt;/style&#38;gt;' . &#34;\n&#34;;&#60;br /&#62;
}&#60;/p&#62;&#60;/blockquote&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Yes, it worked.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Since smallwei's suggestion worked for me, I close this thread.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Thanks kpdesign.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;With Adminimize plugin, I was not able to delete “More information” link (the right side of “Keyboard Shortcuts” check box ) on “Your Profile”-&#38;gt;”Profile” page(I want to delete only the link, not entire profile page.).&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;So, I think I can redirect the user to another page when they crick the link. I wrote a code bellow to redirect user. However, it is not working.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;function redirect_document_link() {
	if ( !current_user_can(&#38;#39;manage_options&#38;#39;) &#38;amp;&#38;amp; ($_SERVER[&#38;#39;HTTP_HOST&#38;#39;] == &#38;#39;codex.wordpress.org&#38;#39; &#124;&#124; $_SERVER[&#38;#39;HTTP_HOST&#38;#39;] == &#38;#39;codex.wordpress.org&#38;#39; ) ) {
		wp_redirect(get_option(&#38;#39;siteurl&#38;#39;) . &#38;#39;/wp-content/theme/default/index.php&#38;#39;);
		exit(0);
	}
}
add_action( &#38;#39;init&#38;#39;, &#38;#39;redirect_document_link&#38;#39; );&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Can somebody tell me what is wrong with the code I wrote above?

<description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;@dogante:&#60;/strong&#62; The user ID is only 1 for the admin account that is set up when WordPress is installed. If there is another user added that is given an administrator role, their user ID would be different, but they would still be an administrator.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'm going to suggest that you take a look at the Adminize plugin to see if you can hide/disable the areas you mentioned using that: &#60;a href=&#34;http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It allows you to choose what role(s) can/cannot have access to certain areas in the WordPress admin area.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'm also going to suggest that you upgrade that install to version 2.8.5. No sense in developing a client's site with an outdated version of WordPress.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Is there any way to determine if the user who currently logged in has a  administrator role or not?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Is the ID of administrator always &#34;1&#34;?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;let me know.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi, I am using WP2.8.4 as a CMS to build my customer’s site.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Question:&#60;br /&#62;
Is there any plugin or method which removes links to WordPress Codex, Forums etc. on the WP control panel?  Especially, “More information” link (the right side of “Keyboard Shortcuts” check box  ) on “Your Profile”-&#38;gt;”Profile” page is annoying .&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Let me know.

<description>&#60;p&#62;When you are interested using the members plugin by Justin Tadlock for a CMS, and want to know more about the possibilities with pages.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;QUESTION:&#60;br /&#62;
'How can you restrict by role, which pages a user can post to?&#60;br /&#62;
I’m creating a site where there will be 4 users, each will have a specific page to edit, and each can only see their specific pages in the backend.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;ANSWER you get as a pying exclisive member (25$) from Justin Tadlock:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#38;gt; You can't do that with the Members plugin.

&#60;p&#62;He offers also the possibility to become 'exclusive member' (25$/year), but it looks like this is only about the Hybrid themes. I poped the question if I can find help concerning the Members Plugin too.&#60;br /&#62;
And I am now waiting for his response..&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hi kpdesign,&#60;br /&#62;
thanks for this MEMBER plugin tip!&#60;br /&#62;
Making private pages is a piece of cake now!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I do have 1 question tough: I want to make a detail (not private) page, called 'appelmans', which should be updated by one user only (with specific role).&#60;br /&#62;
So I made the capability ‘edit_appelmans_page’. But it doesn’t work. Only if a select also capability 'edit_other_pages'. But ofcours, this makes all the pages editable.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Do you have any suggestions..?&#60;br /&#62;
thank you very much,&#60;br /&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;strong&#62;@dreamyguy:&#60;/strong&#62; Justin Tadlock just released this plugin today: &#60;a href=&#34;http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/&#34;&#62;Members&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;From the description:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;blockquote&#62;&#60;p&#62;Members is a plugin that extends your control over your blog. It's a user, role, and content management plugin that was created to make WordPress a more powerful CMS.&#60;/p&#62;&#60;/blockquote&#62;
&#60;p&#62;You should be able to tweak the contributors' capabilities to allow them to upload media.

<description>&#60;p&#62;@holyinsomniac&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It would be nice to combine these two plugins (WP Hide Dashboard + Role Manager) but according to the comments in the plugin's page, the Role Manager is buggy for 2.8 and is not being actively maintained by Thomas, the author. So that's not an alternative anymore.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;What's the best alternative to still allow contributors to upload media (even while not allowing them to manage media) - which is the whole idea of this support topic?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Cheers!

<description>&#60;p&#62;@leeroi: If you open the file on your site wp-admin/menu.php you can take a look at all the menu numbers there. It's not commented much, but taking a look at the code it won't be to hard to figure out what's what.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Actually, it is pretty simple. You will be able to accomplish the following:&#60;br /&#62;
1. Hide the Dashboard from the subscribers view. Only thing visible to subscribers will be their profile.&#60;br /&#62;
2. Enable File Upload functionality for Contributers. Your contributors will be able to upload images&#60;br /&#62;
3. Hide the dashboard and tools and media menu for all contributers. Your contributers will be able to upload images but will not be able to view or delete any other images. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Here we go:&#60;br /&#62;
You need 2 plugins to do this for you. First you need to get the Role Manager plugin and enable &#34;Upload Files&#34; for the contributer level. Then get the WP-Hide Dashboard plugin from &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.kpdesign.net/wp-plugins/wp-hide-dashboard/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www.kpdesign.net/wp-plugins/wp-hide-dashboard/&#60;/a&#62;, which will hide the dashboard for all subscribers. Most probably you don't want your contributors to see the Dashboard or Tools or the Media menu. Media menu includes the upload functionality but it is quiet easy to hide. You just have to edit the wp-hidedashboard.php file. Here is an excerpt from the author:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;How do I change this to hide the dashboard and tools menu and help options from other roles besides Subscriber?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;To hide these from other roles, you will need to edit the plugin in a plain text editor and make the following changes:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Subscriber → Contributor:&#60;br /&#62;
Change !current_user_can('edit_posts') to !current_user_can('upload_files')&#60;br /&#62;
Subscriber → Author:&#60;br /&#62;
Change !current_user_can('edit_posts') to !current_user_can('create_users')&#60;br /&#62;
Subscriber → Editor:&#60;br /&#62;
Change !current_user_can('edit_posts') to !current_user_can('manage_options')&#60;br /&#62;
There are 3 instances of this code in the plugin - make sure you change all of them.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Now, to disable the Media menu which includes the upload options. Search for &#60;strong&#62;unset($menu[75]);&#60;/strong&#62; in wp-hidedashboard.php file and Add &#60;strong&#62;unset($menu[10]);&#60;/strong&#62; after it. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Save and upload and thats it. Now your subscriber or your contributor
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Since you're using WPMU + BuddyPress, this plugin really doesn't suit your needs. It was made for single WP, not MU.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;What you want is a different plugin entirely. Try this one:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://wpmudev.org/projects/Menus&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://wpmudev.org/projects/Menus&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And I think there's a redirect on login one there as well.

<description>&#60;p&#62;First, let me say that the author of the plugin did a very nice job on this plugin. However, the author could have put a little bit more meat into this plugin.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The plugin has no settings. It works right off the bat once installed. The dashboard really isn't gone, it's just being forwarded to the profile page.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I like the concept, but since I have buddypress installed, I really didn't want users to just go to the old WP-Profile page. Mostly because the buddypress and wp-profile page don't sync together.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The good thing is that the code can be easily hacked to point/forward to a different page other than the profile page. But, you have to do this from the backend. By hacking the pointed/forwarded to url, I was able to point to a new page or back to the front page. Mostly, because when users login, they are always pointed to the dashboard. I really didn't like that idea. I mean, I can edit the widgets/sidebar to point to most of the necessary urls that users need.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;They seriously need to consider getting rid of the dashboard, it is pointless to have, especially if you have buddypress profiles installed. (Which leads to conflicts)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As for this plugin, please consider adding settings to the admin dashboard section, that allows the main admin (WPMU) to decide if:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;- They want to point to a certain url (Which you can use a text field for people to input the url that the regular users will be forwarded to.)&#60;br /&#62;
- Please keep the idea of Admins being able to see the dashboard. That is very cool, but regular users have little purpose to see the dashboard any more. Especially with buddypress now in existence.&#60;br /&#62;
- Create a setting that allows admins to decide whether to just send to front page or to disable dashboard and profile screens all together, which just sends them to the front page. Only the admins should be able to see the dashboard.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;But, regardless, thank you for the code. Remember everyone, that you can simply just edit the code to point to any page you want, but only by editing the plugins php file.

<description>&#60;p&#62;It may not have worked b/c I did this for contributors, not authors. I think authors could already upload... may be wrong though.
