Dashboard

the dashboard for regular users doesn’t contain the same information as the admin. It very limited. You can add the following code to functions.php file. if the user is a subscriber it will redirect them to the front page and hide the menu bar.

// this will hide the menu bar from subscribers
function noSubscribeMenuBar(){
$currentUser = wp_get_current_user();
if(count($currentUser->roles) == 1 && $currentUser->roles[0] =='subscriber'){
   show_admin_bar(false);

}

add_action('wp_loaded','noSubscribeMenuBar');

// this will redirect all subscribers to a given page

function redirectSubscribers(){

$currentUser = wp_get_current_user();
if(count($currentUser->roles) == 1 && $currentUser->roles[0] =='subscriber'){
  wp_redirect(site_url('/')); 

}

}
add_action('admin_init','redirectSubscribers');

I just typed this in so hopefully there no typos.

There is probably a plugin that does this.
