The code for this plugin is very simple which explains why it hasn’t needed an update for several years. So far I’ve installed it on one site and no problems yet.

It’s a great solution for those sites where the user profile is provided by our front-end and in some cases the username/password are synced from an external source, or depend on external values and therefore can’t be modified.

You should add an “exit” command after wp_redirect at line 77. I tested your plugin and without exit; in some circumstances wp_redirect doesn’t fullfill its functionality. For example with custom posts (url: WORDPRESSSITENAME/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=customposttype).

I added the exit; command after wp_redirect and after that your plugin works perfect. Thank you.

This plugin is GREAT, and solved a big problem for me.

My site uses bbPress, a forum plugin that uses AJAX for the links that let a logged-in forum user to Favorite or Subscribe To a topic. But of course I don’t want these forum users to see my wp-admin backend. So I tried a simple hook in my functions.php:

if ( is_admin() && ! current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit;
}

But this breaks the AJAX links because they actually point to a core file: wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. So either my forum ajax links are broken, or my forum users can see my wp backend.

This plugin solves the problem, by testing for a certain Capability (which you can specify).

Excellent plugin. Thank you!
