Many times we forget to disable or remove old user accounts, leaving our sites open to users who are no longer part of our organization. Mass-Disable Users (MDU) aims to fix that. MDU allows super-administrators to disable old users while retaining all of the author information. This is especially important for news sites. How does it work? MDU takes a list of email addresses (in CSV format) and compares it to the existing WordPress users database then any users who do not exist in the CSV file are demoted to Subscriber in every blog! NOTE: This plugin only works on multisite! ## Installation 1. Upload the `mass-disable-users` directory to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Network activate the plugin through Network Admin->Plugins ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Mass-Disable Users plugin for WordPress” is open source software.
