Does this block users from logging in?

No. It only blocks new registrations. Existing accounts remain completely unaffected.
-
Can I use wildcards?
-
Yes! Examples:
**@gmail.com— blocks all Gmail addresses
**@*.ru— blocks all .ru domains
*test*@domain.com— blocks any address starting with “test” -
How do I block an entire domain?
-
Enter
@spam.com(with the @) in the Blocked Domains field. The plugin will correctly match only emails from that exact domain. -

Enable the “Block Disposable Emails” checkbox to automatically block 200+ known throwaway email providers (Mailinator, TempMail, YOPmail, Guerrilla Mail, etc.) without entering them manually.

Can I block registrations on the standard WordPress login page too?
-
Yes! Enable the “Block WordPress Registration” option in Settings to also apply your rules to
/wp-login.php?action=register. -
How do I import a large list of blocked domains?
-
Go to the Import tab and upload a
.txtor.csvfile with one domain per line (or comma-separated). You can choose to append to or replace your existing list. -
Where can I see blocked attempts?

Enable logging in Settings. Blocked attempts will appear in the Logs tab, where you can view, clear, or download them as CSV.

Is this compatible with Paid Memberships Pro or other WooCommerce membership plugins?

Yes. It hooks into WooCommerce’s registration filter, so it works with any plugin that uses WooCommerce accounts.
