    Good afternoon,

    I am getting some spammers registering then spamming my site. Is there a way to have users login, but a moderator has to approve them?

    Data:
    Geodirectory 1.6.38
    Theme: GDF Modern

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for your post. You can check out our userswp.io plugin here https://userswp.io/ .

    OK so if I read this correctly I will need the Plugin as well as the “Moderation” Add-On to enable moderator controlled registrations?

    OK I installed that plugin. On the Register page, I set the Registration Action as “Requires Admin Review”. Yet people are still registering and no admin moderation is occurring. Now what?

    Users may register, then you would approve their accounts or not.
    Make sense?

    If you have more issues with that plugin please make a new topic here: https://userswp.io/support/

    Then it doesnt work for me and I dont understand what this does. I am trying to approve/reject the registration BEFORE they are registered and not AFTER. I need this function to prevent spammers from registering then hitting the site before I can react to removing them.

    In other words….maybe to explain better, when a user registers, the registration should be PENDING, awaiting approval/rejection by admin. Can this software do this?

    You are looking for this setting, then, which should have been the first page you saw after activating the plugin.

    You can require admin review before approving new registrations.

    The URL above must be incorrect?

    Please open a new ticket here: https://userswp.io/support so we can help you with that.

    When you make a support request you can make it possible for us to help you as quickly as possible by always following up on your topic with an immediate private reply that includes all the access info we may need to login and debug an issue on your site.

    You don’t have to do this, but it can save a couple of email exchanges.

    Try posting them in the following format so they are easy to read and find in the topic:

    WordPress Administrator Account Credentials
    WP Admin Login URL:
    Username:
    Password:

    SFTP / FTP Credentials
    Host URL:
    Port:
    Username:
    Password:

    Also, when you are working on the site it helps greatly to disable security and cache plugins. You should disable cache anyways if you are making changes to the site and want to see the results on the public side.
