Hi,

I activated the plugin and inserted

?

?

?

into the “Allow this characters (Symbols or characters accented as é ?) “no recommended”” box.

But I still get the “invalid characters” message when using ? ? ? in user names? Do anyone knows what I’m doing wrong here?

Best.

The error messages for mentioned scenarios are no longer displayed, but are overwritten by the error message intended for special characters.

So instead of “This username is not allowed, choose another please.”, “Username must be at least %min% characters.”, and “Username may not be longer than %max% characters.”, it will now say “This username is invalid because it uses illegal characters. Please enter a valid username.”

Thank you for looking into this.

Hi, I’m having trouble with the plugin, I have just entered the special characters I want to restrict; However, the “Save” button does not appear for me to save the selected settings. There is a “Save” button on the “Error messages” tab, but if I move from “General settings” to “Error messages” the configurations from the first tab are not saved.

How do I save when the button is missing?

Hello, I tried the “Restrict Usernames Emails Characters V 4.0.2” plugin on my localhost site, and the “Not allow these emails domain” doesnt seem to be working. I have added 1 domain in each line to be blocked but it still allows/accepts that domain. Please help. I receive a lot of spam registrations.

Currently I am using whitelist/blacklist domains and it is working fine for blocking domains.

but with your plugin I get additional benefits of: Not allow spaces in usernames & Not allow use only numbers in the username

I had problems that users couldn’t activate their accounts anymore.

I used the plugin to filter out registrations with temporary email addresses.

Once I had deactivated the plugin the activations were working fine again.

Hello,

The plugin has been taken out of wordpress. Apparently, this is temporary pending review, but please could you let us know if it’s safe to keep the plugin installed or if we should remove it while it’s being reviewed?

Thanks.

I translated the plugin into Russian using the Poedit program, but the plugin does not see the translation.
Neither in your own language folder, nor in the shared folder of CMS plugin language files.
What should I do?

Can I get some help getting this to work with https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/profilegrid-user-profiles-groups-and-communities/

It uses it’s own registration page so no matter what I tried the plugin won’t work and I can still register those forbidden usernames

How to allow the username to have only numbers?

Woocommerce has option “When creating an account, automatically generate an account username for the customer based on their name, surname or email” (Settings > Accounts & Privacy > Account creation) it automatically create login, but unfortunately with spaces. Will this plygin fix the spaces issue or simply drop an error?

I treid all 3 settings but none of them blocks email domains.
What did i do wrong?

The username block works fine.

A good and necessary plugin, but there is one problem. Works incorrectly with Nextend Social Login and Register plugin. Error messages in the username are not overridden (when the option to manually enter the username is enabled in the Nextend Social Login plugin). Default WordPress messages are displayed instead of these: wp-admin/options-general.php?page=restrict_usernames_emails_characters&tab=error_messages

Field code:

<label for=”user_login”>Username<br>
<input type=”text” name=”user_login” id=”user_login” class=”input” value=”” size=”20″>
</label>

Is it possible to override this?

Is this Plugin compatible with WP-Members?
On the download page it flags as not tested on our version of WordPress.5.9.2

Hi there, is it possible to get the logic of this plugin to work on the display name too?

Thank you.

Hi,

Nice software! How can I use this plugin with the Paid Memberships Pro plugin? I tried “username” in the “The name of the user login field in registration form” setting but it did not work.

Thank you!

We are occasionally getting reports from users trying to choose a normal username but getting error messages about having included characters that aren’t allowed.
It seems that they then have accidentally included a blank space in the beginning or the end of the username. Shouldn’t the name entered as username be trimmed?

Hello @benaceur, Please the plugin does not work at all on Multisite, I banned the username anything admin and my name, Yet I am still able to register with them.
When I was on a single website, it was working well, But when I started using the WordPress network, It not working.

This plugin looks like what I need, but I use Paid Memberships Pro and have customized theming on my login and registration pages.

So I ask if it works in such circumstances?

We activated this plugin in order to prevent users from creating usernames with . and @. And it seemed to work fine, but within an hour we received several cases where users were lockout due to too many login attempts.
We then discovered that the users locked out where trying to log on with a blank space at the end of their email address. For example they tried to log on with ‘[email protected] ‘ instead of ‘[email protected]’. They have never had this problem before. So this issue started when we activated this plugin.

So something changed in the acceptance at the login page when we activited this plugin. This is causing too much trouble for too many users so we had to inactivate the plugin again. ??

Unless this is changed we can’t use this plugin and I recommend anyone planning to use this plugin to be aware of this issue.

I cannot set a username with – or .
I did not disallow these characters but it keeps giving me the message that these are illegal characters. Can you advise? Thanks.

Hi, the plugin was working previously but now it lets anyone register.

The setting is ‘restrict everything except the following after @’ and it doesn’t restrict any emails. I can make an account with @gmail even though this is not an allowed domain.

I don’t know what to try because the settings look correct.

Many thanks for your suggestions.

I installed this plugin to set special characters in the username.
It does not work for him.
If you can help me please.
Thank you

Please how can I find “How to find “The name of the user_login field in registration form”
in my theme. Should I use Inspect Element and what should lookout for

<input id=”username_309″ class=”required-item” type=”text” name=”log” value=””>

Thanks

Hi,

Excellent plugin, congratulations.

Can you make this plugin compatible with WooCommerce?

Should a payment be necessary for this implementation, I would be willing to help.

Hello Everyone My name is kunal an i have some basic question to ask:

2. suppose i am use mail champ for Email Marketing but some of the user enter fake email to subscribe to the email list “like this website:temp-mail.org” Can this plugin integrate with elementor and prevent this happening.

3. Is the plugin is safe to use.

4. Do the plugin developer release or develop or Update this plugin regularly.

5. There is any chance that this plugin will get PRO.

Hello,
I’m trying to use you plugin to block registration from certain email domains (like the temporary ones, e.g. disbox.org).
The plugin is active, but registration from such email still permitted, even if I specified the domain to be blocked in the proper setting (Not allow these emails domain – Restrict the following ). It seems the plugin is not working on this, can you help?

thanks

Hello. Plugin version I’m using is 2.7.3

I upgraded and now my Buddypress Login Widget would take users to website/members/ instead of website/members/username

I battled this for hours trying to figure out what was wrong with server – if account is created with any version higher than 2.7.3 the user has no access to their profile account.

Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.

I’m only using the field “names not allowed” would like to use the field “name can not contain”….but scared to LOL

Chased for hours, dumb database multiple times trying to find root cause, lost some users ??

Thanks in advance.
