  • Hi,

    I use WP eMember for registrations and logins, and this synchronises with WP Users (ie – it creates instantly a WP User after I created a WP eMember).

    I have a problem with disposable emails and blocked domains – they do not work at all with this setup.

    For instance I have Deny disposable email addresses ticked and I added the following domain in Blocked Email Domains:
    jetable.fr.nf
    Yet I am able to register a user with this email address and it creates a user in WP.

    Any thoughts as to how I can solve this?

  • The plugin stops working once you are logged in. Before it does any checks, it looks to see if the user is logged in. You will always be able to register anyone. The plugin sleeps until an unregistered user tries to register or leave a comment.

    Thanks Keith for your answer.

    So there is no way to stop people registering on eMember with a disposable email address?
    You contradict yourself in your message on the topic of registration:
    – You will always be able to register anyone
    – The plugin sleeps until an unregistered user tries to register

    I would like to block disposable emails registrations, but done thru the intermediary of eMember (which then creates a WP User)

    Thanks

    Turning on checks for logged in users is way too dangerous. It would allow the plugin to block the blog’s owner too easily. As it is, too many blog owners act like spammers and get locked out (and complain about it to me).

    You would need a custom plugin that did nothing but check against the throw-away emails. All the code is in my program so someone could put together a hack without too much trouble.

    Unfortunately, I am busy all the time now and don’t have time for the interesting things that I would prefer to do.
