Error when adding reviews

I found the issue. I use the following code to deny access to wp admin dashboard to subscribers, and because of that, admin-ajax.php is returning 302. So how to deny acces to wp-admin for subscribers and allow them adding reviews?

function redirect_subscriber_to_frontend() {
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();

    if (count($current_user->roles) == 1 && $current_user->roles[0] == 'subscriber') {
        wp_redirect(site_url('/dashboard/'));
        exit;
    }
}

add_action('admin_init', 'redirect_subscriber_to_frontend');

Hello @jackoneill,

Thank you for reaching out and providing detailed information about the issue you’re experiencing.

The problem arises because your current code redirects all subscribers away from any admin-related pages, including the admin-ajax.php file, which is necessary for certain frontend operations like adding reviews.

To resolve this, please remove the old code and add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:

function redirect_subscribers_to_dashboard() {
    // Check if the current user is logged in
    if (is_user_logged_in()) {
        $user = wp_get_current_user();
        
        // Check if the current user has the 'subscriber' role
        if (in_array('subscriber', (array) $user->roles)) {
            // Get the current admin URL
            $current_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
            
            // Check if the current URL is an admin page and not an AJAX request
            if (strpos($current_url, '/wp-admin') !== false && strpos($current_url, 'admin-ajax.php') === false) {
                // Redirect to the Tutor LMS dashboard
                wp_redirect(home_url('/dashboard/'));
                exit;
            }
        }
    }
}
add_action('admin_init', 'redirect_subscribers_to_dashboard');

After adding this code, subscribers will be able to add reviews without being redirected.
