Disable WP Dashboard Access.
The professional standard for restricting wp-admin access. Secure your site, clean up the UI for subscribers, and prevent
clients from breaking settings.
Who is this for?
Agencies
Stop "client-side breaking." Lock the dashboard for non-admin roles so clients can't accidentally toggle critical plugin settings or themes.
Membership Sites
Redirect subscribers away from the backend. Keep users focused on your front-end content and "My Account" pages instead of the WP dashboard.
Security Pros
Reduce your attack surface. By disabling dashboard access for lower-level roles, you mitigate risk from compromised non-admin accounts.
WordPress shouldn't be open by default.
- Subscribers seeing the "Admin Bar"
- Confusing backend for customers
- Brute-force risk on wp-admin
A minimalist firewall for your UI.
- Hide Admin Bar for specific roles
- Custom redirect to any URL
- Username-based whitelisting
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Granular Dashboard Lockout
Completely disable access to /wp-admin for all roles except Administrators. Clean, fast, and effective.
Smart Whitelisting
Need an Editor or VA to bypass the restriction? Add their specific username to the whitelist without changing their global permissions.
Custom Redirect Control
Blocked users aren't just stopped; they're guided. Redirect them to your homepage, a login landing page, or a custom portal.
Session Duration Logic
Control how long users stay logged in (1 to 168 hours). Perfect for hardening security on public membership sites.
