Validate Registration Based on MailChimp Subscription Status

· ·

This is one of those things that I never thought of but came up in a discussion with a support subscriber. Can registration be validated based on whether a user is subscribed to the MailChimp list or not?  If the user is subscribed, allow registration but if not return an error message.

The answer is yes, that’s quite possible.  WP-Members allows custom validation via the wpmem_pre_register_data action hook, and the MailChimp extension has an API function (wpmem_mc_get_list_member()) to check a list subscriber’s status.  The combination of those two things can be used to accomplish this in a simple code snippet.  Continue Reading →

Automatically approve accounts from whitelisted domains

· ·

This article is a followup to “Restrict registration to specific email domains, IPs, or other data” that adds an element for moderated registration.  In this case, moderated registration is used and registrants with emails accounts from whitelisted domains are automatically approved, leaving all others to be approved by an administrator.

It should be noted that this only applies to WP-Members registration. It has become more common to integrate WP-Members with other plugins that also have registration, such as WooCommerce, BuddyPress, bbPress, etc.  If you are using one of these plugins for registration, that’s fine – but you need to then look into their process for custom validation.  Continue Reading →
