Setting Up User Moderation in WordPress
ProfilePress User Moderation addon allows you to decide whether to approve newly registered users or not. You can also block and unblock users at any time.
Activating the Addon
To activate the User Moderation addon, go to ProfilePress>>Addons>> Scroll to User Moderation and switch it ON
After activating the addon, you will receive a notification email about each user registration, and you can choose to either approve or reject the user. And new user accounts will be in pending mode until you approve or block them.
If there are users awaiting approval, you will also see an admin notice as well as a note in the “At a Glance” dashboard widget informing you about it.
To approve new users or block/delete them, go to the Users → All Users. Find the pending users and approve them.
When a user is approved/rejected, the user will receive an approval/rejection email sent to his registered email. The same thing happens when a user is blocked/unblocked. To customize the email content, please check our Email Settings article.
