- Open your theme functions.php file and copy and paste the code below at the bottom of the file:-
/** * Block non-admin from accessing wp-admin */ function block_wp_admin_init() { if(is_user_logged_in()) { if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']),'/wp-admin/') !== false) { if(!current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) { wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl'), 302 ); exit; } } } } add_action('init','block_wp_admin_init',0);
or there is another way using admin-init hook
/** * Redirect non-admin users to homepage * * This function call the 'admin_init' action hook. */ function redirect_non_admin_users() { if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) && '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' != $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ) { wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit; } } add_action( 'admin_init', 'redirect_non_admin_users' );
* if non admin user access wp-admin, the user will be redirect to home page again.
