How to Moderate New User Registrations in WordPress

Do you want to moderate new user registrations in WordPress?

When you run a WordPress membership site, or allow users to register on your site, unfortunately it can often lead to spam user registrations.

In this article, we’ll show you how to easily moderate new user registrations in WordPress, so you can manually approve and deny new users.

Moderate user registrations in WordPress

Why Moderate New User Registrations in WordPress

WordPress allows you to open your website for new user registration. This allows users to create an account on your website.

Open user registration in WordPress

Often website owners require user registration to see premium content, download files, purchase product from your online store, and more.

By default, you can choose a user role to assign for all new user registrations such as the Subscriber role. This gives them certain permissions and capabilities on your website.

To have more granular control over what users can see and do on your website, you will need the MemberPress plugin. It is the best WordPress membership plugin that allows you to easily sell memberships and subscriptions on your website.

MemberPress Website

You can use MemberPress to sell courses, create a paid newsletter, and other premium content memberships.

If you’re looking to sell digital downloads like eBooks, music, software, and more, then you can use the Easy Digital Downloads plugin.

Alternatively, if you’re selling physical products on your site, then you would also want to require user registration as part of your WooCommerce online store, so you can store their shipping details.

Now the problem with opening your website for new user registrations is spam sign-ups.

Similar to spam comments, there are automated bots that just look around for registration forms and fill them up.

You can use ReCaptcha and other methods to block spam user registrations, but they also affect user experience.

Luckily, there are ways to prevent spam user registration through user moderation queue.

That being said, let’s take a look at how to easily moderate new user registrations in WordPress and simply approve or deny sign-ups on your website.

Method 1. Moderate User Registrations in WordPress with Custom Registration Form

Most website owners like to use a custom user registration form in WordPress. This allows them to customize the styling to match their brand needs, automatically add users to their email newsletter, and more.

WPForms is the best drag & drop WordPress form builder used by over 5 million websites, and it comes with a powerful User Registration addon.

Note: We use WPForms on our sites and recommend it to all users.

WPForms
The user registration addon allows you to create completely custom WordPress user registration form as well as a custom WordPress login forms.

It also lets you turn on Admin approval for new user registration.

Enable Admin Approval for User Registration in WPForms

Since WPForms integrates with all the popular email marketing services, you can use it to automatically add all users to your email list.

Their free Uncanny Automator integration also enables further no-code workflow automation to help you save time.

If you’re not using WPForms custom user registration form, then don’t worry. Our next method will cover how to moderate user registration for WooCommerce, MemberPress, and basically every other plugin.

Method 2. Moderating User Registrations in WordPress with New User Approve

First, you need to install and activate the free New User Approve plugin. For more details, see our step-by-step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, this plugin enables moderation for all WordPress user registrations, and it is compatible with WooCommerce, MemberPress, LearnDash, BuddyPress, Easy Digital Downloads, and all other user registration plugins.

If you are using the default WordPress user registration, then users will see the following message on the registration form.

New user registration form

After they fill out the user registration form and submit it, they will be informed that their account is pending review.

Awaiting moderation

You will also receive an email notification on your admin email address to approve or deny this user registration.

Users will also get an email on their account informing them that their registration is awaiting approval.

Tip: If you or the users on your site don’t receive email notifications, then you need to set up WP Mail SMTP. For more details, please follow the instructions in our guide on how to fix the WordPress not sending email issue.

Approve or Deny User Registration in WordPress

The New User Approve plugin makes it super easy to manage the moderation queue for user registrations.

Simply login to your WordPress admin area, and click on the New User Approve menu item in the admin sidebar.

Moderate user registration

You’ll see the list of user registrations awaiting moderation. You can then go ahead and Approve or Deny the user registration.

Users will then receive an email informing them whether their registration was approved or denied.

They can then go ahead and log in to their account on your WordPress website.

Allow Specific Users to Bypass User Regisration Moderation

New User Approve allows you to create invitation codes that users can use to register on your website and bypass the moderation queue.

Simply go to the New User Approve » Invitation Code page and enter a code in the Add codes box.

Create invitation codes to bypass new user moderation

You can also set a usage limit for the invitation code and choose an expiry date.

Don’t forget to save your changes.

Next, you need to switch to the Settings tab and turn on the toggle to allow user registration using the invitation link without moderation.

Enable invites

Don’t forget to click on the save changes button to store your settings.

You can now give these invitation codes to users that you trust. They will be able to bypass the moderation queue and instantly register on your website.

Register with invitation code

Using User Moderation with Other Plugins

The New User Approve plugin works with popular WordPress plugins used for user registration and memberships.

However, it will not show the custom notices on the user registration form. You’ll have to do that manually in your plugin settings.

For instance, if you are using WPForms, then you’ll need to edit your user registration form. Inside the form builder, switch to the Confirmations tab.

Edit user registration form confirmation message

Here, you can write a custom message informing users that their account is pending review and they will receive an email when it is approved.

Similarly, if you are using MemberPress, then you can go to Memberships page and edit one of your memberships.

Edit membership

Next, scroll down to the Membership Options section and check the box next to the  ‘Enable custom thank you page message’.

Add a custom thank you message for MemberPress

From here, you can add your own custom message informing users that their account is pending approval.

You may need to repeat the process for other membership plans if needed.

How to Add an Author’s Photo in WordPress

Do you want to add an author’s photo in WordPress?

By default, most WordPress themes show the author’s gravatar as their profile picture. However, authors may want to replace this gravatar with another image.

In this article, we will show you how to add an author’s photo in WordPress.

How to add an author's photo in WordPress

When Do You Need to Add an Author’s Photo in WordPress?

If you run a multi-author WordPress site, then you may decide to add an author info box in WordPress posts. These author bio boxes typically show the author’s profile photo, a brief bio, and link to their website or social profiles.

By default, most WordPress themes use the person’s gravatar as their author photo. However, sometimes you may prefer to use a different image for the author photo.

As a WordPress website owner you may even have rules about the kind of photos you want to show in your author bio boxes. For example, maybe you require your authors to use a professional headshot.

If the author’s gravatar doesn’t meet your rules, then you may want to edit their profile and upload an image that better suits your WordPress blog.

With that in mind, let’s see how you can add an author’s photo in WordPress.

How to Add an Author’s Photo in WordPress

The easiest way to add an author photo in WordPress is by using the PublishPress Authors plugin. This plugin lets authors edit their own profile and author photo by adding a new ‘Author Profile’ area to their WordPress dashboard.

Changing your author photo

It also gives site admins the power to edit the author’s profile including changing their photo.

First, you’ll need to install and activate the PublishPress Authors plugin. If you need help, then please see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, head over to Authors » Settings. You can then go ahead and click on the ‘Display’ tab.

PublishPress' author settings

Once you’ve done that, open the ‘Layouts’ dropdown and choose a layout that includes an author photo.

Let’s look at your options.

The default layout is ‘Boxed.’ This shows the author’s information in a box, complete with their author photo.

How to add an author's photo in WordPress

The ‘Centered’ layout is similar to the boxed layout, but with all of the author’s information centered inside the author bio box.

‘Inline with avatar’ and ‘Simple List’ are both layouts that includes space for an author photo. Here’s an example of the Simple List layout.

An author photo displayed in the simple list layout

Just be aware that those two layouts don’t have space for a bio. Even if the author has added a bio, it won’t be shown on your website.

After choosing your layout, click on the ‘Save Changes’ button. You can now visit your website to see the author photos on your WordPress posts and pages.

Anyone who has registered on your site with the Author role will now be able to upload a photo using the ‘Author Profile’s settings in their WordPress dashboard.

How To Change an Author’s Photo in WordPress

As admin, you can also use PublishPress Authors to change any of the individual author photos that appear on your website. This is useful if an author chooses a photo that isn’t a good fit for your site.

To change an author’s photo, simply go to Authors » Authors.

Adding an author's photo to WordPress

You will now see a list of all the authors who are registered with your WordPress blog.

From here, you can click on an author’s ‘Edit Author Profile’ link.

Changing the author's photo in WordPress

Then, just click the ‘Image’ tab.

By default, PublishPress will try to find a gravatar that’s linked to the author’s email address. To use a different author photo, click on the ‘Custom image’ radio button.

Changing the author's profile picture

Once you’ve done that, click on ‘Select Image.’ You can now choose any image from your WordPress media library, or upload a new image.

Then, just click on the ‘Update’ button.

Saving a new author photo in WordPress

Your website will now use this new image as the author’s photo.

How to Add a Wishlist to Your WooCommerce Store

Do you want to add a wishlist feature to your WooCommerce store?

A wishlist allows visitors to save their favorite products, so they can quickly find them later in your store and complete their purchase. It also makes it easy for your visitors to share their favorite items with friends and family as part of their wedding registry or another gift registry.

In this article, we’ll show you how to add a wishlist to your WooCommerce store.

Add a wishlist to your WooCommerce store

What Are Wishlists and Why Add Them in WooCommerce?

A wishlist lets your customers and guests save their favorite products on a list. It helps them to remember which products they want to buy in the future, so they can quickly find them later on your WooCommerce store.

Plus, customers can share their wishlists with their friends and family. This helps build brand awareness and increases traffic to your online store so you can boost sales.

Another benefit is that you get to see which products people add the most to their wishlists. To increase sales, you can then run promotional offers and discounts on popular wishlist products.

That said, let’s see how you can easily add a wishlist to the WooCommerce store.

Adding a Wishlist to Your WooCommerce Store

The best way of adding a wishlist to your WooCommerce store is by using a WordPress plugin like YITH WooCommerce Wishlist.

It’s a free WooCommerce plugin that lets your visitors save their favorite products to a wishlist and share them with their friends and family.

First, you’ll need to install and activate the YITH WooCommerce Wishlist plugin. For more details, please see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you can head over to YITH » Wishlist from your WordPress dashboard and click on the ‘Add to wishlist options’ tab to configure the plugin.

After a product is added to your wishlist

The plugin will automatically add a ‘Add to wishlist’ link to each product that shoppers can click on to save items.

In the settings, you can select which link to show after a user adds a product to the wishlist. For instance, you can still display the ‘Add to wishlist’ button, or you can change the link to show the ‘View wishlist’ or ‘Remove from list’ options instead.

Next, you’ll see the Loop settings and Product page settings. You can choose where you’d like the ‘Add to wishlist’ button appear on the product page.

Wishlist loop settings

By default, it will be shown after the add to cart button. However, you can choose a different position by clicking the dropdown menu in front of the Position of “Add to wishlist” on product page option.

After that, simply scroll down and customize the text for your wishlist and edit the color and style of the add to wishlist button.

Change the text for add to wishlist button

Don’t forget to click the ‘Save Options’ button at the bottom of the page when you’re done.

Next, you can head to the ‘Wishlist page options’ tab.

The plugin will create a new page for wishlists on your WooCommerce store. If you prefer, you can select a different page from the Wishlist page dropdown menu instead or show wishlists on any page using the [yith_wcwl_wishlist] shortcode.

Wishlist page options

Next, you can now scroll down and select which details to show in the wishlist table.

For example, there are options to display product variations, the date on which the product was added to the wishlist, price, and more.

Details on wishlist page

You can even select social media channels on which people can share their wishlists, add custom text when the list is shared on social media, and more.

The plugin also offers settings to change the text and edit the style and color of the sharing button, social media channel buttons, and more.

Share on social media options

When you’ve customized the wishlist page settings, don’t forget to click the ‘Save Options’ button to store your changes.

You can now visit your WooCommerce store and see the ‘Add to wishlist’ option on the product page under the Add to cart button.

Preview of add to wishlist button

When a user clicks the Add to wishlist link, they can then browse their wishlist and remove items or add to cart products from the list.

Besides that, the plugin also shows options to share the wishlist on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest or send the list via email and WhatsApp.

Browse your wishlist

Going Beyond Wishlists to Grow WooCommerce Sales

Now that you have added the wishlist feature to your WooCommerce store, you may want to further optimize it to boost sales and conversions.

We recommend using the WooFunnels plugin to optimize your WooCommerce checkout, add one-click upsells, and other marketing automation features.

WooFunnels Template Library

For more details, see our step by step guide on how to create high converting funnels in WooCommerce.

Aside from that, here are five other plugins that we recommend to help grow your WooCommerce store:

  • Advanced Coupons for WooCommerce – helps you add smart coupons to offer free shipping discounts above certain $ amount, buy one get one free offers, and more.
  • WooCommerce Gift Cards – lets you sell gift cards for your WooCommerce store. This is a great addition alongside wishlist to boost revenue.
  • PushEngage – helps you stay connected with visitors after they leave your website. This technology is used by many smart eCommerce retailers like 1800-flowers, Harrys and Davids, and others to boost sales.
  • Uncanny Automator – this tool helps you automate your routine workflows to save you time. Simply the best task automation plugin for WooCommerce.
  • WP Mail SMTP – ensures that your WooCommerce emails actually get delivered in your user’s inbox. This is an absolute must have tool for all WordPress sites. See more details in our guide on how to fix WordPress not sending email issue.

How to Import External Images in WordPress

Do you want to import external images in WordPress?

If you have recently moved your website from one platform or host to another, then there is a good chance that you may have external images embedded on your pages.

In this article, we will explain how to properly import those external images in WordPress.

How to Import External Images in WordPress

Why Import External Images in WordPress?

External images are images embedded in your content that load from another website or URL different from your main WordPress website.

Most commonly, WordPress users come across external images issue after migrating their website from other platforms like Blogger, Weebly, Joomla, or WordPress.com.

By default, if you use one of the WordPress importers, then it will try to import images. You can see the imported images by visiting Media » Library page in your WordPress admin area.

If you see that all your images are already in the Media Library, but the image URLs in your posts still point to your old website, then you don’t need this article. Instead, you should follow our guide on how to easily update URLs when moving your WordPress site.

However, if you don’t see images imported to your WordPress media library, then continue reading and we will show you how to import those external images.

How to Import External Images in WordPress

The first thing you need to do is to install and activate the Auto Upload Images plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you need to visit the Settings » Auto Upload Images page to review the plugin settings.

The Auto Upload Images Settings Page

The default settings would work for most users, but you can change them as needed.

For example, the plugin will import images to your default WordPress media uploads folder. You can change that by providing a different base URL. Other than that, it also allows you to set filename, image alt tag, image size, and exclude post types.

If you do make some changes, then don’t forget to click on the ‘Save Changes’ button at the bottom of the page to store the new settings.

Next, you will need to update the posts or pages containing the external images. Since this is a manual process, it can be tedious if you have a lot of content.

Luckily, there’s a quick way to update all posts with external images. Simply go to Posts » All Posts page and then click on the Screen Options button at the top.

Use Screen Options to Display 999 Posts at a Time

You need to increase the number in the ‘Number of items per page field’ field to ‘999’ and click the ‘Apply’ button.

WordPress will reload the page, and this time it will show up to 999 posts at a time.

Note: If you have slow web hosting, your server may not be able to handle updating so many posts at once. In that case, you would want to do smaller batches of posts at a time, or consider switching to better WordPress hosting.

Next, you can select all of your posts on this page by clicking the checkbox next to ‘Title’. After that, you should select ‘Edit’ under the bulk actions menu and click the ‘Apply’ button.

Editing All Posts in Bulk

WordPress will now show you a ‘Bulk Edit’ box with all selected posts.

You just need to click on the ‘Update’ button, and WordPress will update all your posts.

Updating All Posts in Bulk

Remember, don’t change any of the settings in the bulk edit settings that you see. You just need to click the ‘Update’ button.

This will trigger the plugin to check all selected posts and import external images as it finds them.

If you have more than 999 posts, then you will need to visit the next page to select the remaining posts.

We hope this tutorial helped you learn how to import external images in WordPress. You may also want to learn how to create a custom Instagram photo feed, or check out our list of must have plugins to grow your site.

Why Make a Google Ad Landing Page in WordPress?

When someone clicks on your Google Ad, you can redirect them to any page on your WordPress website. This might be a page that already exists on your site, such as your request a quote page, product page, etc.

However, sending those visitors to a generic page could confuse them if it’s not closely related to the ad they clicked on. This can cause visitors to leave your site, and you’ll miss out on those sales.

That’s why many successful website owners create customized landing pages for their Google Ads.

This gives you the freedom to fine-tune the page to help you reach your Google Ad campaign goals. For example, if you want to get more sales then you might add a call to action (CTA) button, a form that accepts credit card payments, and powerful social proof such as customer reviews and testimonials.

No matter whether you want to get more sales, generate leads, or reach some other goal, an effective Google Ad landing page will give you a higher conversion rate.

With that in mind, let’s see how you can easily make a Google Ad landing page in WordPress.

A beautiful, professionally-designed Google Ad landing page can help you reach your campaign goals. However, there is always room to improve your conversion rates.

With that in mind, it’s a good idea to monitor your landing page’s stats to see what’s working and not working. You can then use SeedProd to tweak your landing page’s design, and fine-tune it to get even more conversions.

The easiest way to measure important metrics in WordPress is using MonsterInsights.

It’s the best WordPress analytics plugin and is used by over 3 million websites. To learn more, please see our step by step guide on how to install Google Analytics in WordPress.
