 * Hello,
 * is there a way to deactivate Users, so they don’t can login any more? I have 
   try to change the User role to “none”, but that don’t work. Users without role
   can still login.

 * Hi,
 * Deactivation of the user is not possible with the plugin but we have a user moderation
   addon that will allow you to reject any new user which will not allow users to
   log in until you accept. Addon link: [https://userswp.io/downloads/moderate-user-registration/](https://userswp.io/downloads/moderate-user-registration/)

 * Thanks for your answer, but I need a possibility to deactivate existing members,
   so they can’t login any more.
    Is it possible to create a new user role, that
   have no (login) rights?

 * Hi,
 * You might look for such a plugin that can provide the functionality to block 
   users from the site or deactivate from the site and let us know if it works with
   UsersWP or not.

 * Hi,
 * I actually found one: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-users/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-users/)
   
   It’s old, but it works. The only Problem is, that if the user is disabled, and
   he tries to login from the frontend, it will redirect him to wp-admin. But I 
   don’t want that. He should remain to the login page.

 * Hi,
 * We will check with this plugin and update you or you can try another plugin that
   works.

 * This is unfortunately the only plugin I found.
 * Isn’t it possible for usersWP, to refuse login if user has no role? This should
   be the quickest and simplest solution.

 * Hi,
 * I see another couple of plugins to do that:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/user-blocker/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/user-blocker/)
   
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-user-login/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-user-login/)
 * Also, if the problem with the plugin you tested is where it redirects after trying
   to log in, that is a support question for the author of the “disable users” plugin,
   cause in that case that’s its normal behavior.
 * Thanks,

 * Ok, thanks. But what’s with my other question:
 * Isn’t it possible for usersWP, to refuse login if user has no role? This should
   be the quickest and simplest solution.

 * UsersWP uses the same functions as WP to manage login and user registration.
 * If you assign “No Role for This Site”, WP will let the user login and show them
   an error message: “You don’t have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
 * It will not limit their login.
 * Thanks.
