Hi usat009,

Sorry to hear you’re having an issue. Have you enabled profile access for your subscribers in the plugin settings? If not, that’s likely the reason for the redirect loop. If WordPress won’t allow those users to do anything until they reset their passwords and they’re simultaneously unable to access that page, it will redirect around and around.

Unfortunately there’s not really a good solution for this problem since you’re essentially dealing with a WordPress core behavior for password resets. Best suggestion would be to maybe explore a plugin or some other solution for your users to reset their passwords that can bypass the core WordPress behavior.

Hi, sorry for the delay in responding. Since I strive to keep this plugin as simple as possible in terms of options, I would consider turning the exceptions into an array and then making it filterable. Would that suffice for your needs?

Thank you for the kind review ??

@pbearne Thanks for the suggestion! I’m actually pretty much restructuring the whole plugin to move toward a 1.2 release, and there’s actually already a new rda_allowed_pages filter in the release branch that allows for adding pages in a similar manner to what you’ve done here. It’s versioned 1.2.0 but with the rewrite, I may just call it 2.0.

Hi @gbrown626,

Sorry you’re having an issue. This plugin doesn’t change any roles or capabilities in the database, it simply checks if the current use has X capability and if they don’t, prevents access. Most of the time, if you’re seeing access issues when the plugin is disabled, it’s due to something else having messed with/edited the default roles and and/or capabilities in WordPress.

Hi @brybrysss3434,

Nope, nothing has changed in the plugin recently. If your users can no longer see the Edit Profile link in the toolbar I’m guessing another plugin has adjusted the capabilities to hide it.

Hi @motivmedia,

Unfortunately, there isn’t a plugin-specific filter available, though you can definitely use core’s pre_option_{$option} filter to adjust the redirect URL on the fly.

You can accomplish this with something like the following:

add_filter( 'pre_option_rda_redirect_url', function( $value, $option_name, $default ) {
    // Do stuff.

    return $value;
}, 10, 3 );

Hi @vishalalim,

Your best bet when using custom roles is to leverage the “Advanced” section of the Dashboard Access settings to select the capability that each of the roles you want to have access has. Make sure to select a capability that you yourself have so that you don’t accidentally lock yourself out!

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.

Thank you for the kind review! Glad you got your theme code working ??
