 * Hi,
    I have installed the free version to test before upgrading to the pro version.
   The only thing I don’t like is the fact when they log in they have access to 
   the back end of the site. I have added another plugin to prevent them seeing 
   the dashboard but I don’t like the fact they access the backend. Is there no 
   way around this? Thanks,

 * hi,
 * when you say “The only thing I don’t like is the fact when they log in they have
   access to the back end of the site.” Is this particular to the EM menus or the
   whole dashboard since you already installed a plugin to limit them from accessing
   the dashboard?

 * Hi, and thanks for getting back to me.
    It is just the ‘Profile’ and ‘Events’
   menus they can see since I installed the additional plugin but as I don’t want
   them to be able to change or edit any of the events it means they don’t have 
   any options on the Events page on the backend anyway – it doesn’t even display
   the course they have booked. So I only really want them to see the front end.
 * I would be happy for them to see the backend Events page if there was anything
   to see but unless I am misunderstanding the Subscriber Preferences in the Settings,
   when you deselect all check boxes except for ‘manage_bookings’ they can’t see
   the courses they have booked on the backend Events page.
 * Basically I would rather they just see the front end to see what they are attending
   and not have any access to the backend.

 * you can block admina rea access with other plugins like – [http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-block-admin/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-block-admin/)
 * manage_bookings isn’t relevant for viewing bookings, it’s or adminning bookings
   to events your user created. you could uncheck every capability for subscribers
   and they could still see their booking history.
 * chances are you have chosen the same page for My bookings page and Manage Bookings
   page in Settings > Pages > Other Pages, choose seperate pages.

 * Thanks very much for your support. Much appreciated, I’ll try installing the 
   plugin and changing the pages.
    Thank you.
