Allows authors to restrict access to blocks by user roles.
This plugin is meant to be lightweight, limited in scope, while maintaining extensibility. If you need a hook, please reach out!
<h3>Developer API</h3>
User Block Visibility is meant to be extensible. For example, use the filter <code>ubv_built_in_user_roles</code> to restrict the built-in roles that are available.
To create custom restriction options, use <code>ubv_additional_roles</code> and the built-in WordPress filter <code>render_block</code>.
To restrict access to this functionality, use <code>ubv_do_enqueue_sidebar</code>.

User Block Visibility

5 star plugin obviously since it works as advertised can can be really helpful  under certain conditions. I hope the development of the plugin continues, and a feature to also display (or not to display) the blocks for certain devices is also added (desktop, tablet, phone). This feature to be implemented should be easier to code because all you need to trigger the conditions are some simple CSS media queries.

Good job so far nevertheless...

Works as advertised...

Running a WordPress site is exciting but it also means you’re constantly battling spam registrations, fake accounts, and unwanted users. New User Approve works as a default WordPress registration system that does not let anyone sign up and instantly gain access. Because its your responsibility as a site owner as exactly who’s allowed into your site before any user log in.
New User Approve comes is a powerful WordPress user approval plugin that puts you in full control of your community, membership site, online store, or private portal. With this manual user approval plugin, you can moderate user registration, protect your content, and keep your website free from unwanted registration requests. 
Whether you want to restrict user access before approval, prevent fake user signups, or simply make sure every new member is legit, New User Approve makes it easy, professional, and efficient.
<h3>⭐ New User Approve Offers Mobile App for Faster User Approvals ⭐</h3>
New User Approve also includes a dedicated mobile app that lets you manage registrations without opening your WordPress dashboard. It gives you quick access to every pending user and keeps your site protected even when you are away from your computer.

<h3>⭐ Why You Need New User Approve ⭐</h3>
Imagine running a membership site, community forum, or private business portal where quality and security matter. The last thing you want is spam bots flooding your database or strangers sneaking into confidential areas.
New User Approve helps you: 
⚡ Stop spam registrations and fake accounts before they ever log in 
⚡ Verify user identities by reviewing each signup manually 
⚡ Maintain complete control over who becomes part of your community 
⚡ Create a safe, trusted space for your members or customers

<h3>🛠 How It Works</h3>
Here’s how New User Approve, your go-to member approval plugin, transforms your registration flow:
When someone registers on your WordPress site, you’ll receive an email alert. You can then decide to approve or deny their account. The plugin automatically emails the user to let them know the outcome.
👁If approved, the user receives their login details and can access your site immediately. 
👁If denied, they’ll be kept out—and can’t even log in. 
👁Pending users stay locked out until you make a decision.
This makes it simple to restrict user access before approval and ensure only the right people become part of your online community.
Already have users on your website? No problem.
Existing users stay approved automatically when you install New User Approve. You can also change someone’s approval status at any time, with easy search tools for managing pending, approved, or denied users.

New User Approve


Doesn't actually do much. No bulk deny in free version. Can't turn off admin emails in free version. Actually creates more of an admin headache. Uninstalling soon.



Had a problem with the plugin's interaction with our page builder - Muddasir Hayat and Uzair Hanif stepped in and stepped up to help fix it immediately!  Responsive and effective; can't ask for much more :)


Outstanding support

New User Approve allows a site administrator to approve a user before they are able to login to the site.
