UsersWP Moderation

Description

The UsersWP Moderation add-on inserts a layer of manual approval into the UsersWP registration, marking new users as pending until an administrator releases them via the dashboard. Designed for those who maintain closed communities, professional directories, or member areas, it prevents fake profiles and spam by requiring human validation before allowing login, public profile, and any resource reserved for active site accounts.

Key Features of Moderation

• Manual registration approval
  Marks new registrations as pending until explicitly released by an administrator.
• Pending accounts management panel
  Adds a screen in the admin to review, approve or reject accounts in queue.
• Email notifications
  Sends alerts to administrator and user on every status change.
• Login block before approval
  Prevents access to restricted area while account remains pending.
• Native integration with UsersWP
  Integrates with the standard registration flow without requiring form reconfiguration.

Benefits of Moderation

• Spam-protected community
  Filters bots and fake registrations before they occupy the directory.

Who is Moderation suitable for?

• Those who manage private communities and want to review every new member before approval.
• Professional directory sites that require manual checking of registered profiles.
• Associations, clubs, and niche groups that accept only users aligned with the purpose.
• Those who suffer from automated registrations and need to cut spam at the point of registration.

How to download Moderation

The UsersWP Moderation is available for download here on Ultrapack. After saving the .zip file, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate the add-on with UsersWP already installed. Moderation settings will appear in the UsersWP panel immediately after activation.

Designed for sites where every registered profile represents a public space in the directory or community, the UsersWP Moderation returns the final decision to the administrator about who joins. The result is a lean user base, validated and free of automated registrations, without needing external validation, additional captchas, or custom blocking scripts.
