Disable select authors

By jh20001 on November 20, 2017

How can you disable certain authors vs all or groups. For example, there is only one author I'd like to disable a page to, or redirect it to a custom page. All other authors I'd like to keep as normal.

Works

By paddotk on April 10, 2017

It does what it's supposed to do. However, there are two features that I think would make this much better: - Have a robots.txt addition option that prevents search engines from crawling these links - Make it possible to redirect to the 404 or 403 page. Currently we can only choose 'regular' pages, and have to choose between 301 or 307 protocol (I'm not even sure what for).

great job

Awesome plugin to discourage all of the spammers.

Great plugin that prevents brute force attacks

By Kerfred on September 3, 2016

Great.
Your plugin prevents the attacks that search the user logins and run brute force attacks.
That is exactly what I was looking for.
