Just a simple, honest plugin that does its job. Robert22 Admin Bar and Access Control lets you decide who can access the WordPress dashboard and who can see the admin bar – with no data collection, no hidden calls, and no unnecessary clutter. Lightweight, privacy-friendly, and built to do one thing well: keep your admin area exactly how you want it. **Core Features:** In the plugin, you can set a global rule that blocks all non- admin users from accessing wp-admin, or create role-based rules for specific user groups. The admin bar is completely hidden for restricted users, so they never see it anywhere on the site. Frontend functionality stays the same, and everything works smoothly without extra setup. **Advanced Redirect System:** You can choose where each user role will be redirected when they try to access the admin panel to the homepage, to a specific page you define, or even to an external website outside your own. Every redirect rule can be customized individually for each role, giving you complete control over user behavior. **Enhanced User Experience:** No nags, no asking tipping notices, no statistic collection, and no other annoying notices. The plugin is as lightweight as possible and simply does its job without getting in your way. Perfect for membership sites, client websites, multi-role organizations, or any WordPress installation requiring sophisticated backend access control with role- specific redirect behavior. ### 🔧 Live Demos ## Screenshots [⌊Restricting a role from wp-admin access (restricting-role.gif)⌉⌊Restricting a role from wp-admin access (restricting-role.gif)⌉[ Restricting a role from wp-admin access (restricting-role.gif) [⌊Custom redirect to “My Profile” page (restricting-role-custom-path.gif)⌉⌊Custom redirect to “My Profile” page (restricting-role-custom-path.gif)⌉[ Custom redirect to “My Profile” page (restricting-role-custom-path.gif) [⌊Advanced setup with multiple roles and redirects (advanced-restrict.gif)⌉⌊Advanced setup with multiple roles and redirects (advanced-restrict.gif)⌉[ Advanced setup with multiple roles and redirects (advanced-restrict.gif) [⌊Overview of the configuration panel and settings (system-view.png)1.

No, this plugin only controls admin bar visibility and wp-admin access. All WordPress functionality remains intact for restricted users on the frontend. ### Can I set different redirect URLs for different roles? Yes! The enhanced version includes an advanced role assignment system that allows you to create multiple redirect configurations, each targeting specific user roles with different redirect destinations. ### How does the role assignment system work? Select roles in the Role Restrictions section, then use “Assign Selected Roles” to create specific redirect configurations. You can assign different roles to different redirect settings, and the system prevents duplicate assignments. ### Will this block AJAX requests? No, AJAX requests are specifically excluded from the wp-admin blocking to ensure frontend functionality continues to work properly. ### Can I remove role assignments? Yes, each role assignment configuration includes a remove button with confirmation dialog for easy management. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c4460238774e004f31550dbaed7f0c9ec2e0fdae9f3ad1c53f621e60b905b177? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Clean, Professional, Powerful, and Free!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/clean-professional-powerful-and-free/)󠁿 [drewmynemeses](https://profiles.wordpress.org/drewmynemeses/) جُلائی 24, 2026 After trying several of the major plugins dedicated to hiding the admin bar, I ran across Robert22 and gave it a shot. I couldn't find a plugin that handled both the hiding of the bar, and the redirection of admin page access. Robert22's solution does everything you would expect it to, and should become more prominent in the space for it. Thanks so much!
