User Registration Form Restriction

Open registration can attract sign-ups that do not fit a site's audience or membership rules. This plugin lets administrators set criteria for who can submit a registration form, including allowed email domains, blocked entries, IP addresses, user roles, and geographic regions. These controls help WordPress site owners manage sign-ups according to the requirements of their community or service.

The restrictions apply to registration forms built with WPEverest's User Registration forms. Administrators can also use custom fields as criteria and set rules for country-based access. The plugin supports spam protection integrations such as Google reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, and Cloudflare Turnstile, and provides options to display custom messages or redirect users after registration or login.

Features

• Email domain rules: Limit registrations by email domain or use a custom blacklist to block addresses that do not meet your site's sign-up criteria.
• Role-based restrictions: Set registration rules around user roles to manage which users can sign up or what level of access they receive.
• Location-based controls: Restrict forms by geographic region, including country-based rules, to match the areas your site accepts registrations from.
• Custom field criteria: Use custom fields when setting form restrictions, so registration decisions can reflect information collected on your forms.
• Spam protection options: Connect Google reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, or Cloudflare Turnstile to help protect registration forms from bots and fraudulent sign-ups.
• Custom messages and redirects: Show users custom messages or redirect them after registration or login based on the outcome of a restriction.

Best for

• WordPress membership sites
