Hello,

We would like to be able to review and approve new registrants before they get access to the forum - is there an existing setting that makes this possible? I'm having a hard time finding it.

Thank you!

Britta

Have you tried this solution?

http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-moderate-new-user-registrations-in-wordpress/

After installation of any plugin for this, make sure it doesn't affect wpForo member data. Register some user from front-end and make sure the new user got all accesses to forum and it has forum profile.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

Hi Robert - thanks for the fast response.

This looks like a good solution for us, but each time I try to register a test account it takes me to an error page that displays the following text:

This page isn’t working

yourwebsite.com is currently unable to handle this request.

HTTP ERROR 500

Is this an issue with how the "New User Approve" plugin interacts with WPForo? It looks like the user request does go through to the backend of Wordpress, but this is a bad user experience.

Thanks!
