# Quick Help Locating Code Snippet

 * So recently I took over management of a WordPress Multisite. I was told by my
   client that “Subscriber” roles are not able to update their profiles and each
   time a member with the role “Subscriber” clicks update profile, or any link that
   may drive them back to wp-admin, they are redirected to the homepage.
 * I reassured the client that it’s simply a code snippet located in functions.php
   and that I will have subscribers accessing their profiles in no time. That was
   24 hours ago and I have still not found the damn code snippet.
 * I have only managed a few multisite installations so I may be missing something,
   could someone please guide me as to where to look? Thanks for your help.

 * Look in the mu-plugins folder for a ‘functional plugin’
 * Also check if you have a plugin like WP Hide Dashboard.

 * Yeah I have dug around everywhere and am not seeing anything.
 * In the mu-plugins folder there is nothing there that jumps out at me. Other plugin
   directories (/wp-content/plugins & /wp-content/themes/themename/plugins) have
   no plugin that looks like a culprit.
 * I see a plugin in the theme (/wp-content/theme/themename/plugin/blocked-role/)
   called “blocked-role” but looking at the code, it does not appear it’s used for
   that purpose?
 * This is frustrating, as I am certain it’s a simple function that’s forcing users
   with the role “subscriber” to login, but not edit profile. I have done this several
   times on other sites directly in the functions.php…why couldn’t the previous 
   developers do the same?
 * Thanks for your assistance.

 * Normally when this happens, I copy the site down to my desktop, DB included, 
   and replicate the error there.
 * Then I start turning off the plugins until it works.
