I would be interested in this feature, as well. Is a plugin possible, or would wp-login.php and the wp-admin files have to be modified instead?
Create a plugin. The example below will show the Author & Users page under Profiles Menu only if you are the admin. Check in the admin/menu.php for the menu array you wish to restrict. Please do not hack the core files. Do everything in a plugin.
function restricted_pages(){
global $submenu;
if(!current_user_can(‘level_10’)){
unset($submenu[‘profile.php’][10]);
}
}
add_action(‘admin_head’,’restricted_pages’);
Ok, I think I’ll give it a shot then. I haven’t got any experience in writing plugins, but your snippet seems like a pretty good starting point, thanks!
For testing purposes I tried changing the PageRestrictPlugin I’m already using. The ideia is to make it also block the administration.
I’ve added the following:
//——————————————————-
function pagerestrict_admin_hook() {
//…
add_action(‘admin_head’,’page_restrict_adminhead’);
}
function page_restrict_adminhead() {
global $submenu, $menu;
if(!current_user_can(‘level_10’)){
unset($menu[0]); // hide dashboard
unset($menu[35]); // hide Users or Profile
unset($submenu[‘profile.php’]);
}
}
//——————————————————-
The menu is gone, which is great. However, the profile page and the dashboard remain acessible if I add “/wp-admin/profile.php” and “/wp-admin/index.php” in the addressbar. Is there a way to actually block these?
When using a “subscriber” account if I try to access “/wp-admin/edit.php” the following message is shown: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”
This would be just the thing I’m looking for… Any thoughts on how to achieve this for profile and dashboard?
Cheers!
I’m interested in hiding the dashboard for subscribers. I want to use the dashboard for admin level users only, providing links to stuff I wouldn’t want subscribers to see.
With my code the profile page become inaccessible. If I try to access “/wp-admin/profile.php” the following message is shown: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”.
function page_restrict_adminhead() {
global $submenu, $menu;
if(!current_user_can('level_10')){
unset($menu[35]); // hide Users or Profile
unset($submenu['profile.php']);
if (preg_match('|/wp-admin/profile.php|', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])) {
die(__("You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page."));
}
}
}
I’m also looking for what syncbox is asking…
