Approve New Users Moderation

CM Registration User Guide | Dedicated add-on Guide

The Approve New User add-on is a moderation system for all new users which register to your WP site. It includes notification support, so, whenever a user asks to register, the administrator receives an email notification. Once the administrator approves the registration, the user receives an email confirming his registration.

Now, activate the add-on license:

Approve New Users Settings - General

The add-on adds a new tab to the CM Registration settings. 

• Enable approving new users by admin - Enables the functionalities of the add-on
• Enable approving new users by profile field - Allows you to assign different contacts to approve accounts. To do this, insert the Meta Key of the contact field that will be checked. 

Use Case - Delegating Approval

Suppose your company has sellers collecting information from new users. You would like registering users to identify the seller - if the seller exists, he/she will receive the message and approve the account. If the seller is not mentioned or doesn't exist, you (the administrator) will receive the email confirmation instead.

To set this up:


1. Edit the form to add the seller's contact. In this case, it's "Email of Timex Contact", with the User Meta Key "email_of_timex_contact", as shown:
2. Now, head to the Enable approving new users by profile field setting and add the meta key - "email_of_timex_contact".
