Hi, I want to block certain domain names like hotmail.com from registering on my site. Is it possible in BuddyPress?
On wordpress they have this plugin called Ban Hammer which does the job perfectly but unfortunately it does not work with buddypress.

If you go to Site Admin > Options , there is a section for banned email domains.

Now I know that you are gonna laugh at me but I can’t find “Site Admin > Options” Is it in the wp backend or frontend?

[Hassan Akhtar]

I am using wp 3.0.1

[Griffin Boyce]

Did they remove that feature for 3.0?

In the ‘Settings > Discussion’ section a black list does exist but it doesn’t prevent users from registering. It prevents them from commenting. I want to prevent registrations from gmail.com or hotmail.com etc

Do you have multisite turned on ? If you do, what you’re looking for is the tab called Super Admin (should be at the very top), on the Options page you have the ability to only allow registrations from specific domain names or to block people from registering from certain domain names.

Me.

the check is just missing in the buddypress signup process vs multisite
