Update causes wp-admin redirect to my-account

Iv got the same issue. Admins are fine. But lesser users get set to the my-account page.

I have deactivated my plugins and tested and its definitely woocommerce coursing the issue.

Do we have any news on a new update to fix this?

Gem @white Rabit: Do you have any role plugins installed (like Members or User Roles and Capabilities)? If you don’t you could always try installing one, I used Members. I was having a problem with the author role and those users not being able to access the dashboard for their posts and pages. I navigated within the admin area to Users > Roles and enabled the author role to have “edit_posts”. Now if this is a lesser user than an author, I’m not sure it’s the best idea to go this route and someone else may have some different input. But, the above notes is how I fixed my issue with the author role.

I used User Role Editor to enable the edit_posts capability for the desired users. I use this in conjunction with Advanced Access Manager to limit access to back-end areas. This solves the “lesser user than an author” predicament stated above.

That fixed it but its given my user all sorts of back end options. I will have to use another plugin to hide all of that.

Thanks for your help.

Ahh yes, I forgot to mention this. WP Admin UI Customize is extremely powerful and versatile. I love it!

SOLVE
In the class class-wc-admin-php of Woocommerce there is a method called prevent_admin_access that validates the user permission, also there is a filter you can use to make your own logic.

woocommerce_prevent_admin_access

So in your theme functions.php or your custom plugin add next code.

add_filter('woocommerce_prevent_admin_access', 'check_admin_access');
function check_admin_access( $redirect_to ) {
  $user = wp_get_current_user();
  if( is_array( $user->roles ) && in_array( 'mycustomrol', $user->roles ) ) {
    return false;
  }
  return true;
}

I worked for me.

SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR EVERYONE,
Hello,
There is a better way to resolve this issue without any coding.
To overpass the issue please :
1/ type the urladdress https://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/index.php instead of https://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin
2/ Go in Woocommerce in the woocommerce settings in the page Tools.
3/ Reset the permissions by clicking on the button reset the permissions.
4/ Problem solved
Kind regards

YOURDOMAIN.COM/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-status&tab=tools

Or disable the redirect with this.

function custom_r($prevent_access){
$prevent_access = '';
return $prevent_access;
}

add_filter("woocommerce_prevent_admin_access","custom_r");
