    We are currently using Version 1.6.38 of Geodirectory. When a new user account is created (customer), the new user is being logged into the site automatically. We have had to add Admin approval for new user accounts because of many Spam registrations. We no longer want new users logged in automatically so that we can redirect them to a specific page (registration submitted) instead. How can we accomplish this?

    Hi Vladimire Calixte,

    Thanks for reaching us. Kindly check out userswp plugin that allows you to moderate registrations as explained here https://userswp.io/downloads/moderation/

    It doesn’t look like that is included with the full GeoDirectory subscription. Is that correct?

    That is correct, it is part of the UsersWP family of addons.

    OK, thanks. And you are certain that this product can send out the registration confirmation message (that GeoDirectory is currently sending) only once the registration is approved?

    By which I mean we are hoping that there is not even an attempt to auto login and not just a failed attempt.

    UsersWP core gives you the option to require email activation.

    With the moderation addon you can then manually approve users.

    I will ask the developer to answer your question as to whether the registration confirmation email is sent immediately or later when/if the user’s registration is approved.

    Hi,

    As you are using the GDV1 which is an older version of our Geodirectory plugin, it is having its own login and registration forms which uses default WordPress functionality to register a user. You can try other plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/new-user-approve/ which allow manual approval of users on registration and check if it resolves your issue or not or you can go for Recaptcha add on.

    Regards,
    Patrik

    Thank you very much! The plugin that you suggested does exactly what we needed once its optional extension is installed and configured.
