Version 1.0.1
Latest
- ChangedMaintenance release.
What it does
Blocking problem accounts by hand takes time, and it is easy to miss someone. This extension moves that job into your automations. You set the conditions, such as repeated failed login attempts, an expired membership, a period of inactivity or certain behavior patterns, and matching users are blocked when the rule fires. That helps protect private content and cut down on spam and abuse.
Because it works inside AutomatorWP, blocking becomes one more step you can add to your existing workflows. You can target whole user roles to block or unblock groups at once, which suits membership sites and online communities. Blocked users can see a custom message explaining what happened, and setup is done through a simple interface with no coding required.
Best for
- Membership sites that restrict access when memberships expire
- Online communities dealing with spam or abusive accounts
- Site owners already building workflows in AutomatorWP
