Subscriber role – blank page

    Hello,

    I did a fresh install of WP4.2 today, but after playing for a while with setting up a custom user roles I realized that the built-in subscriber role is returning blank page instead of the dashboard.

    Do you have the same problem?

    Thanks.
    M.

    Well after a few hours of research I realized it is problem with the WooCommerce plugin. So I opened an issue on github.

    Well it seems that WooCommerce works this way – it prevents users without edit_posts capability to get to the dashboard. And you can’t turn it off without making changes in the WooCommerce source code.

    Not a good solution IMO, but I’m closing this topic as resolved, because it is not a bug.

    Even WP itself does not allow users with ‘subscriber’ status to access WP admin. It doesn’t show them a blank page, though.

    WP allows subscribers to see the dashboard – but with limited access. Just try it.

    Right. What I meant was administrative functions, other than profile and the generic admin home. Glad you got sort-of a resolution.
