Description

The Manual Member Approval allows the management of manual member approvals for those controlling paid communities in MemberPress Toolbox, adding a flow where new registrations remain pending until administrative review before access is granted. The extension helps subscription sites that need to validate requests individually, reducing unauthorized entries and keeping the entry process more predictable within the members area.
