It is finally time to present version 1.1.40 of Profile Builder Pro with a new and awesome feature: WordPress User Approval by Admins.
We’ve always tried to add features that lets you manage your users, fight spam and build local profiles for your users with ease.
What this feature does is add a new option next to each user’s management options: besides the possibility to edit or delete the given user, now an administrator can also approve or unapprove a user.
By default, this feature comes turned off. To activate it, go to the “General Settings” tab, and enable this feature by selecting “Yes” right besides the text “Admin Approval” Feature Activated.
Once this is done, the default WP userlisting table should have a new option for every user who has administrator privileges, 2 new menus (which you can use to filter only the “approved” or only the “unapproved” users) and also a new column.
Also, the WordPress Admin Approval feature is fully compatible with the back-end too, thus once it is active, users who register get (by default) the “unapproved” user-status (same as they would get using the registration form created via Profile Builder), and they can’t log in or edit their profiles until approved by an admin.
Here’s a list of what the unapproved users can’t do:
- Can’t log in (neither front-, nor back-end)
- Can’t be displayed (archive page or single user profile using the user listing addon in Profile Builder Pro)
- Won’t appear in the userlisting created via Profile Builder Pro
