Thank you Dan, do let me know if I can help any further, and many thanks for your feedback. Always gratefully received.

Matt.

Hey Dan,

Can you confirm which theme’s you’re using so I can check them for compatibility. Thanks.

HI Dan,

I think we’re getting to the source of the problem (I need to update my documentation!). The plugin itself works from the default wordpress login page or the buddy press login page. If the user has been banned then they will be prevented from logging in. Within the settings page for the plugin you have the option of enabling redirects and messages which I think is what you’re trying to achieve. I don’t think you need the functionality of the shortcodes, as they simply allow developers to extend development of their website. I’m going to update the plugin and the documentation to make this much clearer.

The plugin also allows you to force a user to logout (and be redirected with a message) if you ban them whilst they are logged in. Take a look through the settings and let me know if you need any further help, or spot anything that needs amending. Thanks for your valuable feedback.

Matt.

Hello Dan,

Perhaps if you explain what you’re trying to use the ‘shortcodes’ for and I’ll hopefully be able to help either explain how to use them, or identify what’s gone wrong. The shortcodes were added mainly for developers, so you shouldn’t really need them unless you have a particular custom setup.

I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks.
Matt.

Hello Dan,

Thanks for your message, perhaps you could expand on in “practice they don’t work”, as that doesn’t really give me much to go on… and of course I’d prefer to fix any issues/bugs instead of leaving something broken because the feedback was so vague. As far as making a plugin that actually works, I don’t find those remarks very productive. Especially as I offer this for FREE.

Matt

Thanks @livingflame.

Yes I’m in the process of renewing my SSL certificate so have a temporary error. Thanks for highlighting anyway.

Many thanks.

Hi @livingflame,

Thank you for providing feeding on my plugin and more specifically how I can further improve it’s support for BuddyPress & BdPress. Let me look into your suggestions and ill see what I can do to incorporate the requested features into future releases. I’ll keep you updated on this thread as I make progress in these areas.

Thanks again.
Matt.

Hi Charlie,

So sorry for delay replying back to you. Thanks for your message. As you highlight there is no way at present of filtering those users. I’d be happy to look into this, as we’ve been working on some changes to the bulk change role plugin so could incorporate your request into the next release.

Let me take a look and ill get back to you at the earliest opportunity.

Thanks again.
Matt.

Thanks Somnath.

Matt.

Hi Somnath,

Thanks for bearing with me. I’m pleased to say that the latest release of the plugin now includes some additional TAG support in the 3 email templates. Let me know if you have any queries or suggestions.

Thanks
Matt.

Hi Somnath.

Thanks for your message and suggestions. The plugin doesn’t currently include the ability to display the login and user name, however I’ll be happy to build that functionality into the next release. I’ll let you know once those changes are available.

Thanks again.
Matt.

Hi manni65929,

I’ve just deployed v1.4.5 which includes a fix to the issue you’ve experienced. Unfortunately a rogue piece of text paste during svn submission caused a php warning. Sorry about any trouble caused. Please let me know how you get on, and if you have any further issues, or queries.

Many thanks,
Matt.

Hi mann18,

I’m sorry for delay getting back to you. I’ve just released an updated version of the plugin which includes support for 3 arguments. So you can pass in the user_id, the username, or the email address and the shortcode will check to see if the corresponding user account is banned or not. The shortcode will return empty/false if the userid doesn’t exist or does exist but isn’t banned. If banned, then the banned message will be displayed. You can wrap the do_shortcode in an if statement to handle the output.

<?php if (do_shortcode( '[w3dev-is-user-banned email="[email protected]"]' )) { echo 'banned'; } else { echo 'not banned'; } ?>
<?php if (do_shortcode( '[w3dev-is-user-banned user_id="3"]' )) { echo 'banned'; } else { echo 'not banned'; } ?>
<?php if (do_shortcode( '[w3dev-is-user-banned username="myusername"]' )) { echo 'banned'; } else { echo 'not banned'; } ?>

Let me know if you have any further queries, or problems and ill be happy to help. Many thanks. Matt.

Hi SongofHannah,

Thank you for your message, I’ve fixed the issue with the Ultimate version of this plugin and resubmitted to CodeCanyon for review. Hopefully the new version will be released in a couple of days. Anything else please do let me know, thanks.

Matt
