Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory or install via WordPress Plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the «Plugins» menu in WordPress. 3. Go to **Settings > Email & Domain Blocker** to configure. 4. Enter blocked emails/domains (one per line or comma-separated). 5. Optionally enable logging, disposable email blocking, and WordPress registration blocking. 6. Test with the built-in **Test Email Checker**. ## FAQ ### Does this block users from logging in? No. It only blocks **new registrations**. Existing accounts remain completely unaffected. ### Can I use wildcards? Yes! Examples: * `*@gmail.com` — blocks all Gmail addresses * `*@*.ru` — blocks all .ru domains * `test*@domain.com` — blocks any address starting with «test» ### How do I block an entire domain? Enter `@spam.com` (with the @) in the Blocked Domains field. The plugin will correctly match only emails from that exact domain. ### What is disposable email blocking? Enable the «Block Disposable Emails» checkbox to automatically block 200+ known throwaway email providers (Mailinator, TempMail, YOPmail, Guerrilla Mail, etc.) without entering them manually. ### Can I block registrations on the standard WordPress login page too? Yes! Enable the «Block WordPress Registration» option in Settings to also apply your rules to `/wp-login.php?action=register`. ### How do I import a large list of blocked domains? Go to the **Import** tab and upload a `.txt` or `.csv` file with one domain per line (or comma-separated). You can choose to append to or replace your existing list. ### Where can I see blocked attempts? Enable logging in Settings. Blocked attempts will appear in the **Logs tab**, where you can view, clear, or download them as CSV. ### Is this compatible with Paid Memberships Pro or other WooCommerce membership plugins? Yes. It hooks into WooCommerce’s registration filter, so it works with any plugin that uses WooCommerce accounts. ### What happens to my data if I delete the plugin? All plugin data (blocked lists, log table, settings) is completely removed when you delete the plugin. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1f392139a8d0dee540c542dac4c62c77282c9fc459dc3970ea2fc8c61a15657e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works like a charm](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-like-a-charm-2423/)󠁿 [jenjenjet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jenjenjet/) 1. Oktober 2025 This plugin delivers! I tried another one which prevented customer registration from gmail, yahoo etc. but somehow still allowed spammers with "blocked" domains to submit orders for payment verification. With this plugin, those spam orders get stuck as drafts.Now I just need to find a way to remove those bogus customers, who appear in the woocommerce customer list but not in the wordpress user list, where it would be easy to delete them. A solution to this would be great but is a bit much to ask from a free plugin. 😉 Thanks for this great plugin, Kaleem! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/11db9d5d8ccd7c81deb4b056d05cdab931b98968d397690fc7a105316f1c6c1b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Compact and useful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compact-and-useful/)󠁿 [antonv](https://profiles.wordpress.org/antonv/) 11.

Easy to use.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-handy-and-practical-plugin-easy-to-use/)󠁿 [jwvdmei](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jwvdmei/) 23. November 2024 This plugin solved our problem in preventing fake registrations in our woocommerce/ paid membership (free version) website. I think it could be improved with:- a log, that one can turn on or off, recording the attempted registrations showing which email addresses have been used when attempting to create an account,- the use of wildcards so one can identify strings and patterns.Great stuff, Thanks [ Read all 3 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/email-and-domain-blocker/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Email and Domain Blocker for WooCommerce” is open source software.
