Description
The Simple User Ban plugin allows administrators to prevent specific users from logging into their accounts by marking a “Ban User” checkbox on their profile. Once banned, users attempting to log in will receive a message indicating they have been blocked from accessing their account.
This tool is ideal for administrators looking to manage user access without deleting accounts, helping maintain control over who can log in while preserving the user data.
