prevent_admin_access() breaks admin-post.php functionality
-
The plugin has an option to choose what roles won’t be able to access the admin area, which is great, but it also breaks handling form data with admin-post.php
I ended up leaving that option empty, copying this function to my functions.php and hardcoding
$option_roles = array('subscriber');.To allow users to reach admin-post.php, I added this to my copied function:
$adminPostFilename = '/wp-admin/admin-post.php'; if(substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], -strlen($adminPostFilename)) === $adminPostFilename){ return; }This is not a great solution, but works. If there’s a better way to do that, I’m all ears, but it would be nice to have that in the official code.

Hi,
I’ve a template in the frontend from which registered users can add posts. In order to do that, I hook into:add_action('admin_post_nopriv_save-new-post', 'handle_new_post_form_data'); add_action('admin_post_save-new-post', 'handle_new_post_form_data');Those actions are managed by WordPress in
wp-admin/admin-post.php, but once the form is submitted to that file, the plugin thinks the user is trying to access the admin area and redirects to the my-account page. That’s why I had to bypasswp-admin/admin-post.phpthe way I did.Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks!
