WP Block Admin

By Callum Macdonald

Description

Block access to the admin interface based on user capability. The default is only editors and admins are allowed access, but the required capability can be set by editing the plugin file.

You can change the configuration of the plugin by modifying the file itself. The two config variables are on lines 18 and 21.

Simple

It's simple and still working(2016).

old plugin but still good

September 3, 2016
The code for this plugin is very simple which explains why it hasn't needed an update for several years. So far I've installed it on one site and no problems yet. It's a great solution for those sites where the user profile is provided by our front-end and in some cases the username/password are synced from an external source, or depend on external values and therefore can't be modified.
