This is a critical UX decision that prevents providers from being locked out of account management. + +2. **AJAX access preserved** - admin-ajax.php must remain accessible for Formidable Forms and other frontend AJAX requests. Without this, form submissions would fail. + +3. **Redirect to custom login page** - Uses custom login page (ddhh_jm_login_page_id) when available, providing consistent branding. Falls back to WordPress core login if custom page not created yet. + +4. **Non-provider logged-in users redirected** - Even if a user is logged in (e.g., as a subscriber or mentor), they cannot access the provider dashboard. This enforces strict role isolation. + +5. **Early returns for safety** - All methods check if required pages exist before redirecting. This prevents errors during plugin activation or if pages are deleted. + +## Commits + +- Task 1 & 2 (combined): `4706f72` - feat(02-04): implement WP-Admin redirect for providers + +## Verification + +All verification criteria satisfied: + +- [x] Provider accessing wp-admin/ gets redirected to dashboard +- [x] Provider CAN access wp-admin/profile.php +- [x] Non-logged-in users accessing dashboard get redirected to login +- [x] Logged-in providers CAN access dashboard +- [x] Admin users are not affected by redirects + +## Issues Encountered + +None.
