if you use FluentAuth plugin you can disable /wp-admin access by selected user roles.

Shahjahan Jewel Thanks so much, Shahjahan, for your response! Sorry, I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing. So, please allow me to explain:

I have already enabled this setting in FluentAuth: "Disable admin bar and /wp-admin/ access for selected user roles." — and selected all three available roles there: Subscriber, Customer, and Contributors.

But when I manually type my website URL + "wp-admin" (example.com/wp-admin) in Incognito, it opens the WP login page.

What I'm trying to achieve is that "example.com/wp-admin" must not open a WP login page at all, and redirect the user to my official community login page. I tried checking all the FluentAuth settings for this. But couldn't achieve it. Sorry if I'm missing out on something! 🥺🙏

The GS you can use this php snippet:

add_action('login_form_login', function () {
    if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
        return;
    }

    wp_safe_redirect(home_url('/community/')); // change
    exit;
});

Shahjahan Jewel Whoa!!!! It did work just as I intended. 🤩

You're a legend, sir! I appreciate you! 🤗

Thank you so much for always being there for the community. Much much appreciated! 💚✨🙏
