Non-admin access to admin dashboard

[deanscott]

Hi,

I’d like to allow non-admin users to access the backend admin dashboard to create posts etc.

At the moment, when a non-admin user tries to access /wp-admin , they get directed to the normal homepage rather than the dashboard.

I know I could use Social Articles to create posts, but I’d like users to have the option of accessing all the backend post creation tools.

Love the theme by the way!

Hi @deanscott,

Thanks for reaching out, KLEO doesn’t have a setting to restrict the backend. It appears you’re restricting access via GeoDirectory > Settings > Tab: General > Scroll to: Allow user to see wp-admin area. This should be set to yes if you wish users to access the backend of your website.

Also you will need to select a different default role in WP-Admin > Settings > General > Scroll to: New User Default Role. You could select Author which would give new users access to creating and editing their posts but I would strongly recommend creating a new user role https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ that has only the very basic permissions required to complete their tasks.

Thanks,

Kieran.

Superb, thank you!!

I’ve not even looked at GeoDirectory, so I had no idea it was set up like that.
