## Descriere

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!

Works great! An integration with MemberPress would be a great enhancement or add-
on, so that I could enforce approvals for users purchasing specific memberships (
even if they are a WordPress User already), but not others.

 [clayray](https://profiles.wordpress.org/clayray/) 4 iulie 2025

For a free plugin, this is quite powerful. Would be nice to be able to add the users
full name (i.e. first and last name) in the approval email (rather than just the
username), but the ability to edit the email the template (or turn off emails) puts
it head and shoulders above the competition.

### 󠀁[Nice, simple and focused](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-simple-and-focused/)󠁿

 [FolioVision](https://profiles.wordpress.org/foliovision/) 22 februarie 2024

We are looking for a way to minimise the amount of emails which we send out to dead
addresses (often Gmail) via fake bbPress signups to our forum. The first step is
user approval. Konstantin’s plugin is simple and focused, with straightforward settings
in a settings panel. There’s no top level left column item (frankly any plugin which
wants to put its settings in the main left window should require approval from the
plugin moderation team, if in the plugin directory, the left top-level menu is now
hopelessly cluttered on most WordPress sites). The main interface are simple text
additions to the existing user table Approve | Unapprove. Frankly user approval 
should be built into WordPress. But until it is, thank heavens for simple solutions.
No adware, no pro version, no bloatware frills, native interface. I like the idea
of a previous reviewer to allow unapproved users to be kept in the database to prevent
additional signups with the same address. We’d also like an improved workflow where
no email goes out to users until admin approval, at which point the signup email
would arrive. What would happen to a new user is that s/he would be auto-logged 
in at the time of signup with very limited privileges until approved or unapproved
but no email would be sent without approval. This would allow simple comments to
be left on a weblog post or bbPress without sending out emails to dead addresses(
and damaging sender reputation). We can add these features fairly easily ourselves,
but it would be great to see them in the core functionality of WP Approve User. 
Thank you Konstantin for your hard work on WP Approve User and for making it free.

this plugin does what it says simple. glad i found it. one thing would make this
plugin so so so much better. The possibility to add a list of email domains for 
auto approval. For instance i want everyone from a particular company to register
and bypass the plugin. That would be golden. If possible i would be happy to hack
the plugin and incoperate if you like. But as it is your plugin i would prefer you
did it.

## Istoric modificări

#### 12

 * Bumped minimum required WordPress version to 4.7.
 * Requires PHP 7.4 or later.
 * Switches to a three-state approval system: approved, unapproved, and pending.
 * When a user is unapproved, they now get immediately logged out from all active

 * After approving or unapproving the last user in a filtered view, the redirect
   now lands on All Users instead of an empty list.
 * Migrates legacy boolean approval meta on upgrade: `true` becomes `approved` and`
   false` becomes `pending`.
 * Fixes an issue where the upgrade routine re-ran on every admin page load due 
   to a strict type comparison.
