The basic option is to set up a redirect for anyone but admin, that would involve adding some code to your functions.php. There’s probably plugins that d it, but it’s quite simple with code if you are happy with that.
That would not stop links from appearing in the WordPress admin-bar / toolbar. Would you still want to give them access to the BuddyPress menu options via the toolbar?
I’ve recently launched a BP specific Front End editor and I’ve included all the various hide admin code in that. You can choose to hide the admin-bar altogether or prune out the menu items you don’t want to display, such as the +New menu item.
Please fine below the filter. Hope it works!!
add_action( 'init', 'remove_admin_bar_user', 10001 );
function remove_admin_bar_user() {
if ( current_user_can( 'administrator' ) || is_admin() ) {
show_admin_bar( true );
} else {
show_admin_bar( false );
}
}
