Advanced Email Domain Restriction (AEDR)<\/strong> gives you full control over who is allowed to create an account on your WordPress site. Instead of letting anyone register with any email address, restrict registration to a trusted allow-list of company domains, specific email addresses, top-level domains (TLDs), or wildcard subdomains \u2014 and stop spam registrations, fake accounts, and unauthorized signups before they happen.<\/p>\n\n Whether you run a company intranet that should only accept Go to Settings \u2192 Domain Restriction and add the domain (e.g. Yes. Since AEDR works as an allow-list, simply don't include Yes. Add a rule starting with a dot, such as Yes. Add the full address (e.g. Yes. A rule like Yes. AEDR hooks directly into WooCommerce's registration process, so the same domain rules apply whether a customer registers through the standard WordPress form or through WooCommerce's My Account \/ checkout registration.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. AEDR validates the email domain on LearnDash's Login & Registration modal as well as the default WordPress registration form, so students can only register with an approved email domain \u2014 useful for restricting course access to Yes. AEDR validates the email domain during BuddyPress and BuddyBoss community signup, in addition to standard WordPress registration.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Both MemberPress signup and Paid Memberships Pro registration\/checkout are validated against your allowed domains list.<\/p><\/dd>\n AEDR automatically validates email fields in Contact Form 7, WPForms, Elementor Pro forms, Gravity Forms, and Fluent Forms, using the same allow-list you configure once in Settings \u2192 Domain Restriction.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. AEDR validates email domains during multisite user signup as well as single-site registration.<\/p><\/dd>\n You can customize the error message shown for restricted domains in the plugin settings under the \"Custom Messages\" section.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Use the CSV Bulk Upload feature to import a large list of rules at once, and the Export to CSV feature to download your current list for backup or review.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. AEDR only validates email domains at the point of new registration. Existing user accounts are never affected, logged out, or deleted, even if their email domain is later removed from the allowed list.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Because only email domains you explicitly trust can complete registration, AEDR is commonly used to block spam bots, disposable\/throwaway email signups, and fake accounts that target open registration forms.<\/p><\/dd>\n If no domains are configured, AEDR does not restrict registration \u2014 all email addresses are allowed, exactly as with a default WordPress install.<\/p><\/dd>\n@yourcompany.com<\/code> addresses, a course platform that should only enroll students with a .edu<\/code> email, or a membership site that wants to block free webmail providers, AEDR gives you a simple allow-list-based way to enforce it \u2014 with no regex or code required.<\/p>\n\nCommon Use Cases<\/h3>\n\n
\n
@yourcompany.com<\/code> emails to sign up for an internal site, intranet, or extranet.<\/li>\n.edu<\/code> addresses to register for a student-only LearnDash course, or restrict a corporate LMS to employee emails.<\/li>\nKey Features<\/h3>\n\n
\n
*.example.com<\/code> matches both example.com<\/code> and any subdomain, such as sales.example.com<\/code>.<\/li>\ngmail.com<\/code> regardless of how the user types it.<\/li>\n\n
\/wp-content\/plugins\/advanced-email-domain-restriction<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.<\/li>\n\n
How do I restrict WordPress registration to a specific domain?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
yourcompany.com<\/code>) to the Allowed Domains list. Once saved, only email addresses ending in @yourcompany.com<\/code> will be able to register \u2014 every other domain is blocked automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\nCan I block specific email providers like Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
gmail.com<\/code>, yahoo.com<\/code>, outlook.com<\/code>, or any other webmail domain in your allowed list, and registrations from those domains will be blocked. This is a common way to reduce spam and fake account signups.<\/p><\/dd>\nCan I allow an entire top-level domain (TLD), like all .edu or .gov addresses?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
.edu<\/code> or .gov<\/code>, and any email address ending in that TLD will be allowed, regardless of the domain in front of it.<\/p><\/dd>\nCan I allow only one specific email address instead of a whole domain?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
john@example.com<\/code>) as a rule, and only that exact email will be allowed to register \u2014 useful for granting a single exception.<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes wildcard subdomain matching work?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
*.example.com<\/code> allows both example.com<\/code> itself and any subdomain such as team.example.com<\/code> or sales.example.com<\/code>.<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes this plugin support WooCommerce customer registration?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Does this work with LearnDash?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
.edu<\/code> or company email addresses.<\/p><\/dd>\nIs BuddyPress or BuddyBoss registration supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

Which contact and form plugins are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Does this work on WordPress Multisite?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
How do I customize the error message shown to blocked users?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Can I bulk import or export my list of allowed domains?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Will this affect users who already have an account?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
Does this plugin help stop spam or fake registrations?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
What happens if I don't add any rules?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
