 * I have a website that requires users to log on to post information, if I wanted
   to block a certain user how do I do that. Do I place their username username 
   in one of the boxes under advanced blocking? Thanks in advance for any help you
   can give.

 * Hi,
 * Wordfence doesn’t have a feature to block existing users from logging in. If 
   the user should not be logging in, you could either delete their userid permanently,
   or rename the login, change the password, and replace the email address with 
   an address that you control (so they can’t reset the password.)
 * Once the user account is removed or renamed, you could also add the login name
   to “Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign in as these usernames”,
   so the user is blocked when they try to log in.
