Block Specific Usernames or Emails

Now you can block a specific username, or email from logging in or even registering at your site. This increases the security to stop specific spammers and haters. They won’t be able to login, or sign up for new account. Additionally it is a nice filter to block usernames like: admin, Administrator, staff, etc. This option is available in the new options in Settings > Form Validation & Security!

Built-In Phone Number Validation

Ever wanted to add automatic regex validation to a basic phone number field? Now you can do it! You can choose any fields to be validated as phone number to increase your form quality and security when you need to ask user for his phone number – It does not make sense to enter his name. So the new regex will validate “phone_number” custom field plus any fields you SELECT to be validated as phone number before they can edit/register their profile.

Maximum Field Length Validation

Nobody wants a user to register a very long username (Thanks to Andy) or a very long first name, or display name. This can look ugly. This new feature allow you to automatically setup field length validation and return an ajax error instantly if the user tries to enter too long name. This should work on username, name, and display name + additional fields you choose! You can even control the number of characters allowed e.g. maximum number of characters for username is 36 by default.

New E-mail Template Tags!

{USERPRO_BLOG_URL} to display blog URL

{USERPRO_BLOG_ADMIN} to display blog admin URL

{USERPRO_NAME} to display user’s public name (Display Name)

That’s it for this minor update! Special thanks to all users who give feature requests and ideas to improve UserPro.

Remember that you can dl the full french translation here 😀

I mean that in wordpress multisite we can’t use uppercase and accents (é, è, ê, î, ë, ä, ö, etc…) in usernames. Can you modify that with UserPro ?

It would be great for choosing role as tronkybs says, and in my case I want that my users enters a display name instead of their facebook or twitter first and last names.
