Are you abandoning this plugin?

I would also like to know if this plugin is still being updated and supported (if bugs become present) as WordPress versions a released, etc. Can someone let me know? ??

Sure, if there’s a bug I’ll fix it. WordPress is inherently backwards compatible, so it’s rare that changes are needed because of a Core update.

I’ve scaled down my responses in the forums as that has just not been sustainable.

Konstantin,

Thank you so very much for the update. It’s great to hear that you’ll be around to fix any issues. Love it!!

Sincerely,
Gary

I am also having an issue. It sounds like the same issue of the person who started this thread. I installed the plugin but everything auto approves as I am also using restrict content pro. I am using a LMS system that I have created with Tutor LMS. Restrict Content Pro works amazingly, but I need to make the content restricted to my users so I added RCP which works, but it doesn’t have a way to moderator my users who sign up so I can approve them before they can view content. They recommend downloading your plugin, and then it just auto approves everyone who registers and I have no way of manually approving people.

Please advise as to the fix because I don’t want to launch my site until I can know that things will be protected.

Thanks

That would be great. Can you send me an invite to my email address? [email protected]

I am available now if you are

To cpswalters:

I ended up using a plugin called New User Approve.

I tried it out on a sandbox version of the site and it worked perfectly. On my actual live site – which I think was an issue with where it’s hosted – I had a problem where a person – if they knew the url of a restricted page, could go to it and access it before approval. So the plugin developers gave me code to add to functions, which solved the problem.

/**
 * New User Approve - ensure newly registered but not approved person cannot access restricted pages
right after registering but before approval
 */
add_action('rcp_form_processing', 'logout_and_redirect_after_registration', 10, 2);

function logout_and_redirect_after_registration($post, $user_id) {

	wp_destroy_current_session();
	wp_clear_auth_cookie();
	wp_set_current_user( 0 );

}

The OTHER problem I ran into is when you approved someone manually the plugin uses the email address of the site’s primary admin in the email being sent to the person telling them they’ve been approved. Not a problem if that’s the email address you want to use, but a problem if you want to use another email address for the “from” – there’s no setting option to change that. I ended up having to change the primary admin email on the site…

But then it all worked as needed and client is able to manually approve members.

Good luck!
