    hi, i’d like to use this plugin for a school site. i have a database of alumni and parents who are allowed to become members. instead of having to approve when people want to be a member, can this be set up (without customization) so that when a person applies to become a member, the plugin checks their name against a database and gives them automatic approval if they’re on the database of names?

    I assume you mean without making changes inside the plugin itself?

    Yes, the wpmem_pre_register_data action hook within the registration process comes during form validation before the user is created. This action allows you to set up your own validation and either set an error message (thus halting the process) or allow it to continue.

    Your function would need to query your db table and compare the results the user is registering with against what you have in your table.
