Hide Admin Panel from Subscribers Plugin for WordPress

This plugin prevents subscribers from viewing the WordPress admin panel located at /wp-admin/. They are instead shown a custom message that you specify, as well as an optional logout link. You can use HTML tags and CSS in your message to style it any way you choose. Logged in users who have more access than subscribers are shown the standard admin panel.

Version 1.1 Released

This updated fixes an issue with newer versions of WordPress (the log out link is generated in a different way).

The output of custom messages has also been fixed by applying stripslashes to the variable.

This version has been tested in the latest release of WordPress – 2.8

Hi, I installed and activated the plugin. When I added HTML and CSS to the messagebox to display to the user, it did not output correctly. But the problem was solved by replacing line 100 with this code:
Before “echo $ddhap_message;”
After “echo stripslashes($ddhap_message);”

Instead of display Logout link, I use HTML to redirect to blog home page. Here is a link to HTML redirecting code:

Hope it’s helpful

After activating the plugin, there is no problem with Admin account. I tried to login with Subscribers account, and I got a message “You are attempting to log out of Job Board” (Job Board is my site title) with link “Please try again” below the message. The link was point to “wp-admin” directory. So how can I fix this problem?

Yes, that is the purpose of this plugin. To completely block the admin panel from subscribers. It is not for everyone of course, but useful in certain situations.

9-25-08 1:43PM

Have you tested this plugin at all?

The subscriber is presented with a dead end, with no easy way to get out of it. When I added hyperlinks to direct them back, they end up on a 404 error not found page.

In addition, they cannot edit their profile which is a real bummer.
