Hi Guys,

A quick question regarding this add on. I have a requirement to restrict sign ups to only one domain email address (ie. @mycompany.com) Is it possible to restrict ALL other domains with this addon?

Hi Ian,

No thats not possible with that addon.

But you can use wordpress filter for that.
```
add_filter( 'is_email', 'uwp_restrict_email_custom', 10, 2 );
function uwp_restrict_email_custom( $valid, $email ) {
	if ( strpos( $email, '@mycompany.com' ) !== true ) {
		$valid = false;
	}
	return $valid;
}
```

Thanks Giri, is it possible for you to add restrict users signups to my membership? It’s not on my downloads list

Hi Ian,

I’m sorry, that add-on has been added after you bought the subscription and should have been added retroactively to all members. I’m not sure why it didn’t, but I asked to Stiofan to verify.

He’s flying back home right now and I think he’ll be able to check this before the end of the day only.

We’ll let you know asap and sorry again about any inconvenience!

Actually thanks for letting us know about the problem.

Thanks Paolo for that.

Going back to the original solution to the problem, the add_filter solution. I’ve tried adding it to the active themes functions.php and it is not working, nor did a similar code from another source. Am I adding this to the wrong place?

better would be in a code snippet, but functions.php is not wrong.

I asked to developers to check why it isn’t working.

If you provide a link and admin credentials in a private reply, they’ll be able to follow up faster.

Let us know,

I’ve just tried adding the code with the snippet plugin as well as still no luck. It still accepts registrations from any email domain

Hi Ian,

I have now updated your membership to include all the latest releases.

I have also updated your code snippet to the below one which will do what you want.
```
add_filter( 'is_email', 'uwp_restrict_email_custom', 10, 2 );
function uwp_restrict_email_custom( $valid, $email ) {
	if ( strpos( $email, '@mycompany.com' ) === false ) {
		$valid = false;
	}
	return $valid;
}
```
If i can help further just let me know.

Thanks,

Stiofan
