New User Approve Pro

New User Approve Pro manages WordPress registrations for membership websites, communities, online stores, and private portals. Each new account can wait for an administrator’s decision before the user can log in. Invitation, domain, and role rules can route selected registrations to automatic approval.

How approval affects login

After someone registers, administrators receive an email alert and can approve or deny the account. The user is notified of the decision. Approved users receive their login details and can access the site; pending and denied users cannot log in. Existing users remain approved when the extension is installed, and administrators can change approval statuses later. Custom statuses and notification controls help organize the review queue.

Rules for registration and approval

• Invitation codes: Limit registration to invited people. Add codes manually, generate them in bulk, email them, or import existing codes. Codes can have usage limits and expiry dates. A valid code can automatically approve a registration.
• Email domains: Automatically approve registrations from trusted domains, and blacklist generic or suspicious domains.
• User roles: Set selected roles for automatic approval in the extension settings.
• Registration deadlines: Close registration at a specified date or time, or after a chosen total number of signups. A person with a valid invitation code can still register after the limit.

These rules change which signups need a manual decision. Administrators can review each account, use domain or role rules for automatic approval, or reserve registration for people with valid codes.

Messages, role requests, and Zapier

Customize email notifications for users and administrators, use HTML formatting, and suppress denial messages if preferred. Approved users can also request a role change through a shortcode or account page; administrators manage requests in a dedicated area.

Extended Zapier triggers cover users becoming approved, denied, pending, or automatically approved through a role, email domain, or invitation code. These events can connect with services such as Gmail, Sheets, and Slack.

Mobile approvals and setup

The dedicated mobile app lets administrators review complete user profiles, approve or deny registrations, and receive push notifications about new signups without opening the WordPress dashboard.

Install and activate New User Approve from the WordPress Plugins area, then configure approval settings, notifications, invitation settings, deadlines, and role requests to match the site’s registration process. Documentation covers setup and troubleshooting.
