Remove Dashboard Access

Часто задаваемые вопросы

What happens to disallowed users who try to access to the Dashboard?

Users lacking the chosen capability or role(s) will be redirected to the URL set in Settings > Dashboard Access.

Why haven’t you added an option to disable the WordPress Toolbar?

The Toolbar contains certain important links (even for disallowed users) such as for accessing to the profile editor and/or logging out. Plus, there are many plugins out there for disabling the Toolbar if you really want to.

Can I disable the redirection/profile-editing controls without disabling the plugin?

No. Disable the plugin if you don’t wish to leverage the functionality.

How do I hide other plugins/themes’ Toolbar menus?

• Remove Dashboard Access removes some built-in WordPress Toolbar menus by default, but can be extended to hide menus from other plugins or themes via two filters: rda_toolbar_nodes (viewing from the admin), and rda_frontend_toolbar_nodes (viewing from the front-end).

How do I find the menu (node) id?

• In the HTML page source, look for the <li> container for the menu node you’re targeting. It should take the form of <li id="wp-admin-bar-SOMETHING">
• In <li id="wp-admin-bar-SOMETHING">, you want the «SOMETHING» part.

How can I allow access to specific pages of the Dashboard?

The function returns an associative array with $pagenow as the key and a nested array of key => value pairs where the key is the $_GET parameter and the value is the allowed value.

Example: If you want to allow a URL of admin.php?page=EXAMPLE, there are three parts to know:

• The $pagenow global value (tools.php in this case)
• The $_GET key (page in this case)
• The $_GET value (EXAMPLE in this case)

Here is how we would add that URL to the allowlist:

/**
 * Allow users to access a page with a URL of tools.php?page=EXAMPLE
 *
 * @param array $pages Allowed Dashboard pages.
 * @return array Filtered allowed Dashboard pages.
 */
function wpdocs_allow_example_dashboard_page( $pages ) {

    // If the $pages array doesn't contain the 'admin.php' key, add it.
    if ( ! isset( $pages['tools.php'] ) ) {
        $pages['tools.php'] = array();
    }

    // Now add ?page=EXAMPLE` combination to the allowed parameter set for that page.
$pages['tools.php'][] = array(
    'page' => 'EXAMPLE'
);

return $pages;

}

add_filter( ‘rda_allowlist’, ‘wpdocs_allow_example_dashboard_page’ );
`

How can I filter the disallowed Toolbar nodes on the front-end?

`
/**
* Filter hidden Toolbar menus on the front-end.
*
* @param array $ids Toolbar menu IDs.
* @return array Filtered front-end Toolbar menu IDs.
*/
function wpdocs_hide_some_toolbar_menu( $ids ) {
$ids[] = ‘SOMETHING’;
return $ids;
}
add_filter( ‘rda_frontend_toolbar_nodes’, ‘wpdocs_hide_some_toolbar_menu’ );

Common plugin Toolbar menus and their ids:

• Jetpack by WordPress.com (notifications) – ‘notes’
• WordPress SEO by Yoast – ‘wpseo-menu’
• W3 Total Cache – ‘w3tc’
