Checkmate!
The issue lays with yet… another plugin I had installed.

WP-Block-Admin
This plugin has no GUI interface. You would need to edit/tweak the php file itself to change this condition. I am not in a hurry to concentrate in fixing the file but I do know that disabling the plugin, my subscriber can access the dashboard (control panel) and also view/update the profile.

I hope this post help others with the same issue. Dave?

Thanks

I have the same exact problem.
Using my test “subscriber” account in order to see my users experience I can see that I cannot access “Site Admin” (control panel) nor access my profile page. Any attempt will kick me back to the website front page.

I have taken a few troubleshooting steps:
1) Disabled Register Plus plugin. Didnt help.
2) Changed the subscriber level to “premium subscriber”. Didnt help.
3) Checked the wp-admin folder for .htaccess that could be redirecting hits to the front page. Not the issue either.

Note that as administrator I am able to access my profile page and the control panel.

Im not really conserned with a subscriber’s access to “Site Admin”/Control Panel but I would like for them to be at least able to view and edit their own profile.

To answer doodlebee’s question:
This occurs after the subscriber logs in. Clicking on Site Admin or My Profile does not take them to the profile page. It comes back to the main page.
I can post comments as a subscriber tho.

The reason why I want people to subscribe to post is to give me control of who is posting and avoiding any unwelcomed comments.

Back to the roots of the issue… I really would like my subs to be able to view their profile given the option exists.
Not sure if is a permissions issue or what.
Any help will be welcomed.
