Buddypress dominates the very purpose limited access to dashboard

    Hi,
    I have your plugin ‘REMOVE DASHBOARD ACCESS’ installed. I tested and found it working fine (limiting the user to only profile editing on dashboard). But when I installed Buddypress and when I clicked on the edit profile (in the right top profile window), the page is re-directed to buddypress profile editor instead of dashboard’s profile.
    How to overcome this? Because I need user to enter dashboard profile on certain interest.
    Further, user with Contributor role to access dashboard for creating posts.
    thanks & regards,
    B N Reddy

  • Hi @bnreddy,

    Sorry for the delay in responding to your questions.

    when I installed Buddypress and when I clicked on the edit profile (in the right top profile window), the page is re-directed to buddypress profile editor instead of dashboard’s profile.

    It sounds like BuddyPress is overriding the profile edit link to force users into their alternative profile editor. You would want to contact BuddyPress support to resolve that issue.

    Further, user with Contributor role to access dashboard for creating posts.
    thanks & regards,

    Based on the “Contributor” section of the Roles & Capabilities handbook article, you should choose one of the four standard capabilities granted to the contributor role under the Advanced section of the Dashboard Access settings screen. I would suggest using edit_posts.

    Hope that helps.
