Anyone can register

    I just installed the BP Registration Options plugin on omadalife.com. I want the registration flow to go as follows:
    -User registers at omadalife.com/register
    -They get a notification that their application is pending.
    -Admin approves application.
    -User gets email saying application is approved and they can log in at omadalife.com/login

    Instead the following happens:
    -User registers at omadalife.com/register
    -They get a notification that their application is pending.
    -User receives activation email
    -User clicks activation link and is able to sign into the site even though they have not been approved yet via the BP Registration Options plugin.

    Can you please help me fix this issue?

    Thank you for the forum posting. Appreciated.

    Some quick notes for you regarding the topic at hand. For as long as I’ve been in charge of the plugin, the plugin hasn’t blocked access to the site as a whole. It only blocked access, in tiered levels, to the BuddyPress areas of the website.

    The first level is “read-only”. They can see the areas, but the UI used to actually comment/interact/etc was hidden.

    Second level, which is the “private network” option, does not even allow read-only of the site. It limits the user to their BuddyPress profile only, but only when trying to access BuddyPress areas. It would not restrict the user to their BuddyPress profile if they try and access a single post in the blog area.

    Hope that clears up some questions and/or confusion, but feel free to ask some more questions, and I’ll answer the best I can.

    In my opinion that is not a very good answer. The person that posted this made a real clear example of what they wanted to know.

    So please re-read the question.

    Is it possible to do what they are asking? Yes or NO? If yes, how can new registrants be approved first before having access to the page?

    Thank you

    jadams1974,

    I stand by my answer, as I explained the settings we offer and how it works in the present form. In order to enact the restrictions, we’re relying on the user being fully created and in the database, and we flag them as not approved right away, until an admin approves them. We utilize user meta to check on the approval status and reject or allow based on that plus the chosen restriction settings. We don’t cover the entire site, just the BuddyPress and some bbPress areas.
