 * Hi there, I have Enabled blocking email domain on registration. I have 2 blocked
   domains, yahoo.com and gmail.com and I have three allowed domains.
 * When I try to subscribe using my gmail.com it should not allow me to sign up 
   and verify but it does, I get the email verification and click the link and it
   verify me and gives me access to all content on the website?
 * So the blocking and allowing of certain domains doesnt seem to work?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Femail-blocking-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Tried that and it still sends a verification email to an email address that is
   no on the allow list and when i click verify it verifies it so that blocking 
   is not working

 * HI, i just tested the plugin and its working fine for blocked domain and allowed
   domain, make sure you enabled the option by setting Yes
 * “Enable blocking email domain on registration” => “Yes”
 * Please see the screenshot

 * Make sure if you are using 3rd party user register form should have support to
   default registration_errors hook

 * I have tried it again and it does not work.
 * I have screenshots of the blocking enabled and screenshot of the plugin version
   which actually had an update today.
 * Go and try it yourself – [https://esneftlink.org](https://esneftlink.org)
 * You will see when you sign up you get a verification and can access everything.
   This site is using memberpress.

 * Hi, that’s the issue, we haven’t provided integration for “memberpress” plugin.
   becasue “memberpress” doesn’t use registration_errors hook on registration validation
   process.

   as yours but works with memberpress?

 * Ok so If I have something like gmail in the blocked domains section it comes 
   up saying ‘ERROR: This gmail.com domain is blocked!’ which is good, however if
   I don’t have it in the blocked domains section but also do not have it in the
   allowed domains section then someone can still sign up using a gmail account.
 * So basically, I cant stop everyone I dont want to from signing up as I would 
   need to know all the various email extensions to block which would be impossible.
   Do you think you can get it to work with just the allowed extensions and block
   everything else?
 * Good work so far!

 * Hi, please try latest version 1.0.39, we just added “memberpress” integration,
   it should work now without any problem for both blocked domain and allowed domain.
 * Please watch my new video
