HI there,

I am creating cred forms on a membership site, I need to make sure that members do not get any access to wp-admin.

However, currently they can access wp-admin to view and edit their profile.

Is there a way to make sure that this cannot happen, please?

Thanks for your help.
Andrew

I answered this exact same question today.

It's not possible with Toolset alone, you will need some Custom Code for that.

That's correct.
It won't keep the user to type in the URL.

Toolset does not offer ways to solve this, as mentioned, it's a WordPress Core feature that you need to change here.

That Plugin seems to be able to do it, but I did not check how they do it, and I never heard of compatibility issues with Toolset.
Toolset is potentially incompatible if any of this situations apply:

If you find issues with, you are welcome to report this in a new thread where we could analyse if the conflict would be on Toolset end.

Thank you.
