 * Hi. I have a site [HERE](http://www.plom.org.uk) that is for a charity. It will
   have about 4 or five editors that I don’t think should have access to parts of
   the dashboard (I wouldn’t really want them to have access to the themes/plugins/
   editor etc but DO want them to have access to the calendar, to the pages/posts
   etc).
 * I thought the simplest way of doing this would just be to create a user called
   Editor and designate it a password, which the five or so with editor roles can
   share. I have done this, and chosen the necessary roles, but when I go to log
   in as editor, it doesn’t take me to the dashboard, it takes me to the site.
 * I know this is just me not doing something quite correctly,and it’s probably 
   really straightforward, but what am I doing wrong?
 * Andy

 * What happens if you go to your domain.com/wp-admin, are you redirected to the
   home page?

 * Exactly that. If I log in as admin it is fine, but if I choose Editor and enter
   the designated password, it takes me to the home page, and the only option is
   to edit profile

 * I am still massievly struggling here after hours of Googling.
 * Another posible way around I suppose would be to use a plug in that removes the
   Appearance/Settings/Plug Ins from the dashboard and let the editors in as Admin.
 * But (BIG BUT) how would this work if I am needed back in to do any more backend
   work? If the editor is hidden, how would I access it if I’ve hidden it from the
   dash?
 * Agggghhhhh I am really confused now

 * Duh!! For some reason I had a “Hide Dashboard” plugin activated!
    I have no idea
   why or where it came from, but I’ve deactivated it, and now the Editor login 
   works exactly as planned!!

 * Haha, that would most certainly do it!
