A) Plugin Information: - top

Firstly, I just wanted to express my thanks to YOU for purchasing a copy of my BAN Users WordPress Plugin. So a HUGE THANK YOU from the WEBxMedia team. If you need any support or advice whilst using this plugin please don't hestitate to contact us (WEBxMedia) either via our Envanto profile https://codecanyon.net/user/webxmedia or simply email us directly at support@webxmedia.co.uk - We're here to help.

This plugin has been developed by WEBxMedia to allow administrators to BAN existing users from logging into their WordPress account. A user can be BANned from the users table or via their profile. Users can also be banned for a set period of time by selecting a future date. Users can of course be unbanned. When banning or unbanning a user the plugin allows you to send a custom notification to the user advising them of the change. There are several configurable options that allow the administrator to control how the BAN will be implemented. Either with a notification or redirection, and always preventing them from logging back in.

We're busy working on a number of new enhancements to this plugin, so be sure to keep the plugin updated as we roll out new updates.

F) How do I configure the plugin's options? - top

The plugin has a number of options that allow you to control how a user is BANned, as well as how users are notified when their account is either banned or unbanned. To set these options access the WordPress dashboard, ensuring your are logged in with administrative privileges. Then click on Settings. The BAN user link will show in the menu. When you are finished making changes to the options, it's important that you click Save Options.

G) How do I customise the email templates? - top

From the plugin's option page (which is accessible from the WordPress dashboard -> Settings -> BAN User) you will need to click on the Email Templates tab. From here you can set both the subject title and email body for BAN and UnBAN email notifications. You will need to ensure the 'Send emails to users when banned' option has been set, otherwise no notifications will be sent. Also, include the tag %%reason%% within the body of the BAN User email notification template to display the generic/unique reason for the ban.
