   Is there a way to allow contributors to see only their own post and edit while disallowing them to do anything else?

   I've been looking around for a solution but the closest one is http://www.kpdesign.net/wp-plugins/wp-hide-dashboard provided but it is not what I'm looking for.

   I want contributiors to view their post only (by default they can view all posts by other authors as well) and edit their own profile.

   Any solution?

   function posts_for_current_author($query) {
   	global $user_level;
   
   	if($query->is_admin && $user_level < 5) {
   		global $user_ID;
   		$query->set('author',  $user_ID);
   		unset($user_ID);
   	}
   	unset($user_level);
   
   	return $query;
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'posts_for_current_author');

   put this in functions.php

   I tried this and it just gave blank pages. I'll keep looking...
