I am trying to redirect any visitors to the dashboard unless they land on a specific custom post type (fruits).

So the following URLs would all redirect to the dashboard...

But the following would work as usual..

I have this so far...

function redirect_to_backend() {
    if (!is_singular( 'fruits' )) {
         wp_redirect( admin_url(), 301 );
        exit();
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'redirect_to_backend' );

But this is not working, anyone point me in the right direction?

The earliest hook that is_singular() will work on is wp. replace init with wp in your add_action call
