how can we disable profile.php for subscriber in wordpress

2 comments

1. I just had to figure this out… unfortunately, there aren’t many great options in WordPress for disabling the profile page, so I had to use wp_die() on the page load action.

   function disable_user_profile() {
   
       if ( is_admin() ) {
   
           $user = wp_get_current_user();
   
           if ( 2 == $user->ID )
               wp_die( 'You are not allowed to edit the user profile on this demo.' );
   
       }
   
   }
   add_action( 'load-profile.php', 'disable_user_profile' );
   

   In my example, I want to prevent a single user from editing their profile (it’s for a demo site, blocking the demo admin user). But you could easily do a role or permission or anything else you want.

2. with members you can set user rights, so make a role and then don’t give them any rights.
   That should fix it. It will not disable the option to comment.
