Provides the ability to disable specific user accounts.

Description

This plugin gives you the ability to disable specific user accounts via a profile setting.

Once installed and activated, a checkbox appears on the user profile settings (only for admins). When checked, the users account will be disabled and they will be unable to login with the account. If they try to login, they are instantly logged out and redirected to the login page with a message that notifies them their account is disabled.

This can be useful in a few situations.

• You are working on a site for a client who has an account, but do not want him to login and/or make changes during development.
• You have a client who has an unpaid invoice.

Disabled users can also be hidden from the All Users listing, either by default (via the plugin settings page) or manually (by clicking on the link in the Disabled column). A new menu item is added as well, letting you view only disabled users.

This plugin is on GitHub! Pull requests are welcome. If possible please report issues through Github.

Installation

1. Upload disable-users to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Edit any user and then look for the "Disable User Account" checkbox.
