Restrict Usernames Emails Characters


I was looking for a "Not allow these names" and this plugin did that for me. Now I can block mail.ru, blogspot, www., etc when trying to register.



The admin area could use some love... I think if the addon better replicated the default wordpress admin style things would be better.




remove hamburger in top right corner



fix spelling "Extentions" to "Extensions"



fix padding / margin spacing between UI elements



sidebar admin menu name is huge "Restrict Usernames Emails Characters …" should be "Restrict Usernames" or something really short




I liked and appreciated how the "leave review" banner was at the bottom of the page and not in my face at the top. That's why I left this review...



Great job! Thanks!


It's nice but need some "polish"

Restrict the usernames, email addresses, characters and symbols or email from specific domain names or language in registration ...
