Can I exclude certain web-based email domains?

  • Hi,

    My potential client wants me to build a Genesis site with restriction of certain content to those who have signed up for the site — membership, basically. Okay, here’s the sticking point: He wants to ONLY allow those with company-based email addresses ([email protected]) to register. He doesn’t want to allow anyone with a web-based email address to sign up (such as gmail or yahoo or whatever).

    Is this possible with your plugin? Unfortunately, I am not a programmer. Can do a little PHP snippets and so forth when I need to, but certainly not an expert-level programmer. Any suggestions? If it’s not possible with your plugin, is it possible at all? He says he saw it on another site.

    Thanks!

  • Hello, see if this code snippet will help you to restrict specific email signups…

    function restrict_email($value)
{
	$invalid_emails = array("yahoo", "gmail");
	$email = $_REQUEST['bemail'];

	foreach($invalid_emails as $invalid_email)
	{
		if(!strstr($invalid_email, $email))
		{
			global $pmpro_msg, $pmpro_msgt;
			$pmpro_msg = "Please enter a business email address";
			$pmpro_msgt = "pmpro_error";
			$value = false;
		}
	}

	return value;
}

add_filter('pmpro_registration_checks','restrict_email', 10, 1);

    You will have to specify the invalid emails by setting them in the 3rd line. You can paste this into your active theme’s functions.php file or create a customization plugin. Hope this helps.

    Wow, thank you, Pete! I truly appreciate your taking the time to write this out for me!

    If we can help you to get PMPro working for you, we will.
    I have to admit I am not a coder. I searched and found this.
    So I am hoping it works for you. It seemed to work for someone else.

    I hope it does work for you..

    Can you please mark this as resolved if it does.
    Then others will know it does and can use it also..

    thanks
