The Blacklist add-on will allow you to prevent registration based on the user’s IP address, email address, or username. You can also set an error message for each one of these criteria.

I have a challenge creating a title for this tutorial, so to describe what it covers, I recently had a question regarding how to dynamically put a redirect back to the original content into the link to the login page.

This post will take you through adding that to the front-end user profile update.
This needs to be done in the user profile update and not at registration because WP bases these fields on data used in registration that is not available on the static form – the nickname, the username, and first/last name. This tutorial focuses on adding it to the user profile update, much like WP’s backend (which doesn’t set this at registration, either). Continue Reading →
