WP Approve User

by Konstantin Obenland

4.2
(42 ratings)

This plugin lets you approve or reject user registrations.
While a user is unapproved, they can’t access the WordPress Admin.

On activation of the plugin, all existing users will automatically be flagged Approved. The site admin will never experience restricted access and does not need approval.
This plugin is probably not compatible with WooCommerce.

Translations

I will be more than happy to update the plugin with new locales, as soon as I receive them!
