Blocking or restricting attendees from events by email address

Hi,

In the case of users of a site who abuse events or continuously over-book for specific events, is there any way that attendees can be blocked or restricted from events by rejecting their email address when they’re registering for an event?

Thanks in advance! 🙂

It’s not something that is baked into EE, but it shouldn’t be hard to add with a couple lines of code. Are you using MER or the regular registration process or both?

Hi Sidney,

We’re not using Multiple Event Registration.
Could you point us in the right direction?

Try this:

You can add this code to one of the following:
1 – Your theme’s functions.php file. It may get overwritten the next time you update your theme.
2 – The EE custom files add-on in the custom_functions.php file.
3 – Use this blank plugin to hold the custom function.
Note the comment in there about patching the bug in 3.1.36.
Place your email rejection list in uploads/espresso/blocks.txt, one email per line.
