WordPress Ban Registration Domain 1.0.4
WordPress Ban Registration Domain helps you curb new user signups by domain, extension, and email with flexible, admin‑configurable bans. Ideal for WordPress sites and multisite networks, it delivers a quick security win, easy setup, and a reliable spam shield—plus a friendly message for banned users.
Description
WordPress Ban Registration Domain is a WordPress plugin designed to help you curb unwanted new user signups. It adds flexible ban rules based on domain names, top-level extensions, and email addresses—so spam registrations can be filtered before they reach your site.
With support for WordPress and WordPress Multisite (and/or BuddyPress), it helps network admins apply consistent registration controls across multiple sites. The plugin also allows wildcard-style ban words for domain/email matching and lets you configure who is banned and what message appears for blocked users.
Main Features
- Domain-based registration bans — Block new signups using specific domain names (e.g., example.com).
- Extension filtering — Ban registrations by email/domain extension such as .info or .ru.
- Email address bans — Prevent signups from known abusive emails (e.g., [email protected]).
- Wildcard ban words — Match domain/email patterns using wildcard rules for broader detection.
- Works with WordPress Multisite — Apply bans across a network for centralized control.
- Compatible with BuddyPress — Helps protect membership/community registration flows.
- Admin-configurable ban rules — Configure what gets banned directly in the plugin admin panel.
- Custom message for blocked users — Show a friendly notification to users whose registrations are denied.
Benefits
- Fewer spam accounts — Domain, extension, and email bans reduce automated signups.
