Prevent URL Access

[almo136]

Hi,

I am using a plugin in wordpress which redirects users who try to access [mysite.com...]

This line is take from the code:

if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']),'/wp-admin/') !== false) {

The plugin works in that it redirects users who try to access [mysite.com...] but they can still access pages under that folder but putting the full url in the address bar ie:

[mysite.com...]

Does anyone know how I would edit the above line to prevent access to wp-admin and everything below it?

Thanks!

a better way to secure it would be to use htpasswd [google.com]

I tried that but it then messed up the ability for users to edit posts in the front-end (using another plugin).

It's not critical that they can't access the admin area as their options are pretty limited once they get there.

I'd just prefer it if they couldn't.

I assume you would just add it to each page but wouldn't that also "mess up the ability for users to edit posts in the front-end"?

yep, you're right. It does.

Thanks.
