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 ...

This plugin allows full control of your user permalinks, allowing you to change both the author base (the ‘/author/’ portion of the author URLs), and the author slug (defaults to the username of the author). You can set the author base globally, or you can set it to be user-specific based on a user’s role. You now have the power to craft the perfect URL structure for you Author pages.
WordPress default structure http://example.com/author/username/.
Edit Author Slug allows for http://example.com/ninja/master-ninja/.
Using a role-based author base would allow for http://example.com/ida/master-splinter/ (for an Administrator Role), or http://example.com/koga/leonardo/ (for a Subscriber Role).
