Hide Wordpress “wp-admin” dashboard to User IDS

Question

Is there a way to remove & redirect any users of a site from accessing

https://www.example.com/wp-admin/

Unless there id is one, i have seen some examples floating around the ask if admin-ajax is being used if so redirect. how ever this is not approach i wish to make as im using admin ajax on the front end for some admins. i just don't wish them to see anything to do with the backend of wordpress.

Only userid 1 should have access to wp-admin.

Answer 1

There is a useful plugin dedicated for this task called : Remove Dashboard Access which allows you to remove direct access to wp-admin for all users except the admins.

Answer 2

As well you can try using WPS Hide Login plugin( https://wordpress.org/plugins/wps-hide-login/)

Answer 3

You could try something like:

if ( is_admin() && 1 !== absint( get_current_user_id() ) && ! wp_doing_ajax() ) {
    wp_safe_redirect( '/' );
    exit;
}
