I have a custom role named Exhibitor and have set up front end forms for them to use to access their account details, create new Exhibitor pages etc...

You can see that here hidden link
login: service@zeeweb.com
pass: %MxB(HkW%B3VQjv4AK@THR$#

It all seems to work well, but this same user can access the WordPress dashboard here hidden link.

How can I prevent this user role from accessing the dashboard?

Probably something simple I just overlooked!

Your help is appreciated...:-)

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

What if you try to add the following hook to your theme's functions.php file
or
You can add the following code to "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/adding-custom-code/using-toolset-to-add-custom-code/

 function func_no_admin_access() {
    $redirect = isset( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : home_url( '/' );
    global $current_user;
    $user_roles = $current_user->roles;
    $user_role = array_shift($user_roles);
    if($user_role === 'exhibitor'){
        exit( wp_redirect( $redirect ) );
    }
 }
add_action( 'admin_init', 'func_no_admin_access', 100 );

Where please adjust the role slug exhibitor if required.
