 * Is there a way to restrict who can register? Ultimate Members (crashes the site)
   allows a multi-choice field, don’t select a choice and registration stops.
 * Does WP-Members have a way to limit registration? A work-around is OK if there
   is not an option to select.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frestricting-registration%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * That description doesn’t really sound any different than a required field, which
   is of course possible. Create the desired field type (such as a select/dropdown)
   and make it required.
 * You can also set registration to be moderated (require admin approval) – but 
   I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for.
 * You can set up any kind of limitation programmatically using the [wpmem_pre_register_data action](https://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/docs/filter-hooks/wpmem_pre_register_data/).
   That would allow you to create your own criteria for denying registration.
