Running a multi-vendor marketplace on Dokan and WooCommerce? Spam accounts are one of the biggest silent threats to your platform — fake vendors, bot registrations, and disposable email sign-ups waste your time, pollute your database, and damage your marketplace’s credibility. 
Sakthi Guard fills the gap. It adds a dedicated, intelligent spam-prevention layer specifically designed for Dokan seller and WooCommerce customer registration flows — something neither platform provides out of the box.
🛡️ Why Marketplace Owners Choose Sakthi Guard 
Most spam plugins are built for blogs or simple contact forms. Sakthi Guard is purpose-built for multi-vendor marketplaces, where the stakes are higher — a single fake vendor can list fraudulent products, harm real buyers, and erode trust in your entire platform.
✅ What Sakthi Guard Does 
Sakthi Guard quietly validates every registration attempt before an account is ever created, using a layered defence strategy: 
Bot & Automation Detection
Honeypot field — invisible to real users, instantly catches bots filling hidden fields 
Minimum form completion time — flags suspiciously fast (automated) submissions 
Browser JavaScript token — verifies that the registration originates from a real browser session
Identity & Email Validation
Disposable & blocked email domain filtering — rejects registrations using throwaway email services 
Suspicious username scoring — analyses username patterns commonly associated with spam accounts 
IP-based rate limiting — prevents repeated registration attempts from the same source
Dokan Seller-Specific Checks
Store name & shop URL validation — catches nonsensical or keyword-stuffed vendor store names 
Suspicious keyword detection — flags vendor profiles using patterns commonly associated with spam sellers 
Phone number checks — validates seller contact details at the point of registration
Management & Monitoring
Monitor mode — observe and log suspicious activity without blocking, perfect for testing before going live 
Lightweight admin logs — clear, readable records of every blocked or flagged registration attempt 
Existing spam user scan — audit accounts that already exist in your database 
Safe quarantine & delete actions — review high-confidence spam accounts and remove them safely, without affecting legitimate users
🔧 Built the Right Way
Zero core file modifications — Sakthi Guard works entirely through standard WordPress and Dokan hooks. Your existing setup is never touched. 
Lightweight footprint — protection runs efficiently without slowing down your registration pages 
Independent third-party plugin — compatible with standard Dokan and WooCommerce installations
👤 Who Is This For? 
Sakthi Guard is ideal for:
Dokan marketplace administrators tired of manually reviewing and deleting fake vendor applications 
WooCommerce store owners looking to block bot-driven customer account creation 
Marketplace managers who need audit logs and quarantine tools to stay in control 
Developers & agencies managing client marketplaces who want a configurable, non-destructive spam layer
📌 Important Note 
Sakthi Guard is an independent, third-party companion plugin. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to the owners of Dokan, WooCommerce, or WordPress.

WP Notification Bell


Most notification plugins only allow you to manually notify people. Or, they only email notifications. This is the only plugin I can find that does on-site comment notifications. Which is nice to have even if all you have is a simple blog. Your readers should know if someone has replied to their comment (without relying on email).



I'd love it if there was one more shortcode added. A shortcode to show a list of the user's notifications. In other words, I don't think I want to use the bell and pop-up. I'd rather have a page with a shortcode that shows the notifications.



Please create an add on for Frontend PM as well.


WordPress needs this

On-site bell notifications. Display notifications custom or triggered (new posts/cpts, WooCommerce order updates, new comment replies, bbPress...)
