   Hi everyone
   currently users of my website will be taken to a page displaying:

   Access Denied. Your site administrator has blocked your access to the WordPress back-office.

   if they try to access the dashboard, I was wondering can I change the above page to my 404 page?

   Thanks everyone

   That message is not coming from WordPress. Are you using a plugin to add it?

   Hi Esmi thanks for pointing that out, I found out its the WP-User-frontend plugin thats showing the message, and the code is:

   * Block user access to admin panel for specific roles
        *
        * @global string $pagenow
        */
       function block_admin_access() {
           global $pagenow;
   
           $access_level = wpuf_get_option( 'admin_access' );
           $valid_pages = array('admin-ajax.php', 'async-upload.php', 'media-upload.php');
   
           if ( !current_user_can( $access_level ) && !in_array( $pagenow, $valid_pages ) ) {
               wp_die( __( 'Access Denied. Your site administrator has blocked your access to the WordPress back-office.', 'wpuf' ) );
           }
       }

   Do you know how to change it so it is redirected to my 404 page?
   if not I will ask the plugin author

   Thank you so much for your help

   Your best bet is to ask the plugin developer about this.

   Hi, this might not be the best answer here but might be useful temporarily. Beside, as I can see on the statement above. Maybe you can replace the line:

   if ( !current_user_can( $access_level ) && !in_array( $pagenow, $valid_pages ) ) {
               wp_die( __( 'Access Denied. Your site administrator has blocked your access to the WordPress back-office.', 'wpuf' ) );
           }

   into something like:

   if ( !current_user_can( $access_level ) && !in_array( $pagenow, $valid_pages ) ) {
         header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/404_page/' ) ;
           }

   I did this on some of my php sites. Please check if it may come in handy at your wordpress.

   This may seem awkward but works right. You can do a custom page for 404 handling or make the Location into something that your site will never have. hahaha...

   I am sorry if I am so dumb and lazy to do some novel code in equivalent of this short code.
