  • Thank you for this plug-in which has made life a lot easier for me!

    I have a few questions about the option to let blocked users request to be added to the white list.

    – does this apply only to users (who presumably have registered already but are now blocked) or also to new registrations which get blocked in error?
    – what does this message look like? Can I see what a blocked user/person-who-wants-to-register would see? Can I change the message
    – if they click on the request link, where do they get sent? To another form, or the admin’s email address or, or some other way of contacting me?
    – how do I get notified if a user/person-who-wants-to-register has requested to be put on the white list?

    Many thanks again for this brilliant plug-in!

  • Anybody that is blocked sees the blocked user form. You can see it by logging off and then trying to leave a comment using the email “test@test.com”. I know this works on the testing version which you can get at blogseye.com, but I am not sure I included it on the version currently at WordPress.org.

    Thanks, I’ll try that!

    Yes, it worked! Now I am left with only one question, is there a way of editing the text they see?

    Keep clearing the stop spammer cache on the stop spammer history settings page. That will keep out the new guys who pass all tests the first time.

    I have added the ability to change the text in the form to my TO DO list. It may be included in the next release.

    Belated thanks for your reply, Keith!

    I have two more questions — I got a request from a user to be put on the white list. This appeared as a notification on my WordPress dashboard, but I wasn’t notified in any other way; is it possible to receive an email to tell me if this happens?

    And finally, when I clicked on “Add” to add the user to the white list, there wasn’t anything to say what was going to happen next. Does the plugin notify the user that they are now on the white list? Do they need to try again off their own bat to find out that they are now OK? Is there any way for me to contact them? I could only find the user’s IP address, not the email address she wanted to sign up with.

    Many thanks again for saving me a lot of manual deleting!

    The plugin will notify you if you use the 5.0 release from the blogseye.com website and you check the box for the send email option.

    The plugin does not notify the user. That would be up to you.

    Thanks, I’ll go and get that version! Do I need to uninstall the old one first?

    Edited:
    I looked on that site but the version is 4.3, which ialready have. Is 5.0 the Beta one?

    Also, how do I contact the user if I only have her IP address?

    The latest version is 5.0 and it is on the Beta Test page. The only thing left that I have to do is clean up some of the descriptions on the settings page and remove the BBPress hooks.
