Extending the use of the phpBB banning options to be used in WordPress

Post by axew3 »

I'm quite bored (and i hate) by the fact i've ban certain domain email (like could be mail.ru) banned in phpBB, and to see that these users can by the way register via WP integrated, that not come by default with banning options like phpBB.
I do not want to install a secondary WP plugin for this.

Since phpBB banning options for single users (by IP, email and username) are already option into WP_w3all config options page, and
it is also possible to extend phpBB banning options to be effective also on WP registration flow about this other aspect (ban by email domain), within few lines of code and without overloading nothing, this feature will be added as option.

1.8.7 has been just released! ... so you may do not need anymore a secondary plugin to control your WP users, about banned email.
It extend phpBB ban email options into WordPress registration

Code: Select all

= 1.8.7 =
*Release Date - 3 Apr, 2018*
* Fix a secondary problem about security and users. The problem: a WP actual bug allow to a logged in WP user (while it is logged in), to register a new WP user pointing to the 'wp-login.php?mode=register' url, that isn't a correct behavior (and that not need to happen with this integration plugin). The new created user in WP, if a new user is added/registered in this way in WP, it is not added at same time into phpBB also.
* Extend phpBB email ban options on WP registration: if a domain or subdomain email address result banned in phpBB, the user will not be able to register into WordPress using these email address.  
* Contain all latest and tested 1.8.4, 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 fixes.
* Minor fixes
