good and simple

Jakob Helmer May 22, 2020
Despite not updated for a while (which might not be needed, because it's only just a few lines of code), it just works.

Works perfectly

Works perfectly with WP 4.8.2

Does exactly what it says on the tin

Perfect. Is there a way of listing disabled accounts afterwards? The 'Disabled' column isn't sortable and I can't figure a way of listing them.

Does what it says it will do

Seems like a simple request, right? Disable a specific user account without deleting the user. Surprisingly this isn't a feature built into Wordpress, and even more surprising there isn't another plugin out there that does this. There are other simple plugins that say they do this — but they don't work. There are other plugins that do things based on user role — but those are too complicated to set up user roles just to disable an account. This does exactly what I needed — a simple plugin that lets me disable a user with just a checkbox. Simple.

nice little feature

Great idea for limiting access to others (admins or other users) while doing updates or maintenance on the backend.

Brazilian Portuguese translation.

I just created a .mo file for this plugin in pt_BR. Here is the files: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B45nMNzIYUITenh1RWhDVzBHbmc. PS: Thanks for the plugin. Works fine.
