<p>Comment blacklisting works well, but what if you actually want to stop someone from even <em>reading</em> your blog? This plugin will take care of that for you.</p>
<p>It uses .htaccess file modifications to deny access to your blog from particular IP addresses (Deny from) and then follows up with an ErrorDocument 403 redirect to a URL of your choice. It doesn’t hook into WordPress, which makes it a lot faster due to no database or PHP calls.</p>

<h4>WP Plugin for truly banning users!</h4>
<p>The BAN Users WordPress Plugin has been developed to enable administrators to quickly BAN (aka disable, suspend…) users from logging into their WordPress user account, as well as the option to change the status of all their posts. For instance setting them to draft to hide them from public viewing. A user can be BANed from the admin users table or via their profile. There are several configurable options that allow the administrator to control how the BAN will be implemented such as redirecting them to a custom holding page, or sending them a custom email notification. Once BANned they will be unable to login until an administrator reinstates their account.</p>

<h4>How is it Useful?</h4>
<p>There are multiple reasons why an administrator of a WordPress website may need to block users. One of the most popular reasons is the security of the site. Indeed, most blogs face security issues. Once your site is online and growing in popularity, it can become the target of individuals whose only goal is to destroy your work and to discredit your blog. The BAN Users Plugin enables administrators to deny access to unwanted individuals, and inform those users of the actions taken against them.</p>
<ul>
<li>You want to ban malicious users from logging in.</li>
<li>You want to ban users who have breached terms of use or another policy.</li>
<li>You want to temporarily control access to admin.</li>
<li>You want to restrict a registered user from making any changes during development.</li>
<li>You have a client/user who has an unpaid invoice.</li>
<li>Ideal solution for moderators who monitor wordpress forums/posts.</li>
</ul>
