Author user canot log in Control Panel

Have created an author user in live site and afterwards log out as admin and tryed to log in as author.

Hoerver, when typed username/password content instead of log in into WordPress Control Panel appeared Front End site.

Have tryed the same thing with a local site(xamp) and without any problem log in in WordPress Control Panel as author.

if you could assist, why in live web site canot log in as author & in local web site can log inas author?

Thank You

This is most likely something within that site that does that. You can create functions that based on user role just redirect to the homepage vs allowing the admin.

Thank You for reply, Needs to create PHP functions in order to redirect to Home Page rather than allowing admin?
