If you’re still having the issue, you can edit line 18. It’s clearly marked in the code.

I was searching for hours for a plugin like this one!

I was just looking for the wrong thing, but thanks, now I have it, it works like a charm!

You can edit line 18 of the plugin. Choose a new capability. Looking at this list, contributors have “edit_posts” and “delete_posts” capabilities while subscribers don’t. I’d guess either of those would work, if I’ve understood what you want correctly. Please share your solution back here for others.

Does that resolve the issues with 2.8? I don’t use the plugin personally so I don’t test it. Are you interested in taking over the maintenance of the code?

If that change works for you (it worked for somebody else recently), I’ll make the change and push out a new version.

If that works for you, I’ll probably change the plugin to use that method.

Greeeeat plugin,

But I have some issues with the upload page, every time I send a file the frame with the forms (Legend, Title, Description etc) the iframe redirect to the home. I using de WP 2.7.1 …

The upload works nice, just this redirect is a little inconvenience…

Any idea why this happens?

Thanks!

< ?php global $wpba_required_capability;
if (current_user_can($wpba_required_capability))
wp_register();
?>

Thanks for the help and for the great plugin!

Your plugin does exactly what I was looking for. I installed it and found that it wasn’t working for some reason. After looking at the code, I saw the problem:

if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']),’/wp-admin/’)) {

should be

if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']),’/wp-admin/’) !== false) {

Since the strpos() of ‘/wp-admin/’ can return zero, the value needs to be evaluated as not equal to false; otherwise, the user’s access level is never checked for blogs that are installed on the root of a domain.

Thanks for the plugin!

To aid debugging, try adding some exit(’message’); calls to the plugin. That will help you to see if it’s being called.

Thanks for the input. Looking forward to trying the new code.

As it turns out though, I have my new users defaulted to Author. I’ve tried using the plugin with both new ‘members’ and new ‘blogs’ and it still isn’t working right. I’ve removed the other plugin that had the redirect and still no go. One thing I have noticed is that providing a redirect URL is definitely not working as users are always taken to the homepage regardless of what I use. All of this said, there are cache issues with Buddypress as well so maybe that’s part of the problem as well. Makes it challenging to test I must say.

I know a lot of Buddypress users are looking for a way to hide the admin area as it is very confusing for users who have the BP profile and then find themselves behind the wall in the admin section with another profile.

perfect.

My guess is that you’re seeing problems because your users are admins on the blog. Somebody else recently asked me about a WPMU version related to buddyPress and I modified the plugin slightly for them. It seemed to work well. I’ve added that code to the plugin but commented it out. Version 0.1.2 should appear on wp.org in an hour or two, when that does, look at line 37 and you should be able to make it work for WPMU quite easily. Just comment out line 36 and uncomment line 38.

I realize you don’t support this plugin but I thought I’d drop a note in the event you could see an obvious issue. I’m using block Admin with WPMU and Buddypress and I’m trying to keep users from seeing the WP backend. I’ve tried your plugin (I actually thought I had it working for awhile) but users are still getting access after logging in and trying the URL/wp-admin link.

I’m also using a custom plugin that redirects people logging in to go to their member page in Buddypress versus the backend. Not sure if this is conflicting, but I don’t think so.

Appreciate your thoughts…

Thx
