User Approval Manager adds an approval layer to WordPress user registration.

When a new user registers, the plugin prevents immediate login and notifies the site administrator(s) by email. The administrator can approve or reject the user directly via action buttons included in the email.

At the same time, the user receives an automatic email informing them that their account is pending approval. Once approved, the user is notified and can log in normally.

This plugin is ideal for:
– Membership websites
– B2B platforms
– Private communities
– WooCommerce stores requiring verified customers
