# subscriber profile editing

 * Normally one shouldn’t need to edit subscriber profile info but I often need 
   to go in and correct the subscribers website url for a plug-in I use called “
   Profiler”. Also note I utilize “Register Plus” for user registration and thus
   I’m not sure if this would affect wordpress’s built in functions of editing profiles.
 * I am the only administrator and can go into all the users profiles and edit them
   however the changes don’t seem to take. I am stumped on this one folks and at
   wits end of googling for a solution. Any ideas?

 * What do they do? You click “Update” and what? Do you get an error anywhere? Does
   it just return you to the page as it was? Have you checked your server error 
   logs? Have you deactivated the plugin you’re talking about to see if that helps?

 * I have the same exact problem.
    Using my test “subscriber” account in order to
   see my users experience I can see that I cannot access “Site Admin” (control 
   panel) nor access my profile page. Any attempt will kick me back to the website
   front page.
 * I have taken a few troubleshooting steps:
    1) Disabled Register Plus plugin. 
   Didnt help. 2) Changed the subscriber level to “premium subscriber”. Didnt help.
   3) Checked the wp-admin folder for .htaccess that could be redirecting hits to
   the front page. Not the issue either.
 * Note that as administrator I am able to access my profile page and the control
   panel.
 * Im not really conserned with a subscriber’s access to “Site Admin”/Control Panel
   but I would like for them to be at least able to view and edit their own profile.
 * To answer doodlebee’s question:
    This occurs after the subscriber logs in. Clicking
   on Site Admin or My Profile does not take them to the profile page. It comes 
   back to the main page. I can post comments as a subscriber tho.
 * The reason why I want people to subscribe to post is to give me control of who
   is posting and avoiding any unwelcomed comments.
 * Back to the roots of the issue… I really would like my subs to be able to view
   their profile given the option exists.
    Not sure if is a permissions issue or
   what. Any help will be welcomed.

 * Checkmate!
    The issue lays with yet… another plugin I had installed.
 * WP-Block-Admin
    This plugin has no GUI interface. You would need to edit/tweak
   the php file itself to change this condition. I am not in a hurry to concentrate
   in fixing the file but I do know that disabling the plugin, my subscriber can
   access the dashboard (control panel) and also view/update the profile.
 * I hope this post help others with the same issue. Dave?
 * Thanks
