Woocommercie newbie here (but a 5 year WP vet).

I want my client to only have access to the product page but it seems only admin role users can get access to the wp dashboard, everyone else is redirected to my-account. I have setup a role of shopkeeper with just woo-permissions but cannot log them into the wp dashboard.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Hi there,

Here is the help section of WooCommerce that explains the user roles added: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/roles-capabilities/

Here is the full on code based version that explains the mechanics: https://www.role-editor.com/woocommerce-admin-bar-access/

Ultimately it boils down to managing / editing the capabilities or creating a custom user role maybe. For this I like using: https://wordpress.org/plugins/members/

Kind regards,

I have created a custom role but when I try to login to get to the admin dashboard but if I login as a non-admin it redirects to my-account.

I have admin bar set to show and there is a dashboard icon on the my-account screen but it doesn’t work it just redisplays the my-account login screen. In fact if I logout and log in as an admin its the same problem. I have a devil of a job to get to the dashboard at all, it just redirects to my-account.

Hi there,

It might be useful if we changed tack for a moment – There’s a 3rd party plugin called https://adminmenueditor.com/ which allows you to alter the menu structure of admin for the role that you created.

Practically this means that you could duplicate the Admin (or store manager) role in order to access the admin area, but the MENU structure for JUST that role will be different 🙂
