## Description

A small plugin that lets you “hide” the front-end of a site, all front-end requests
of logged-in users are redirected to the WP Dashboard (filterable).

Useful mainly for developers, if you’re developing a site and want to give users
access to see the dashboard while you’re working on the front-end. Also can be used
if you have a site with no front-end and always want users to stay on the dashboard.

Filters included:

 * `rfe_redirect_caps`: Control capabilities required to bypass redirect, lets Administrators
   access front-end by default (default: `manage_options`)
 * `rfe_redirect_url`: Change the redirect URL (default: `admin_url()`)

## Installation

 1. Upload the `redirect-frontend` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. That’s it.
