Disable Users

Despite not updated for a while (which might not be needed, because it’s only just a few lines of code), it just works.

Works perfectly with WP 4.8.2

Perfect. Is there a way of listing disabled accounts afterwards? The ‘Disabled’ column isn’t sortable and I can’t figure a way of listing them.

Seems like a simple request, right? Disable a specific user account without deleting the user.

Surprisingly this isn’t a feature built into WordPress, and even more surprising there isn’t another plugin out there that does this. There are other simple plugins that say they do this — but they don’t work. There are other plugins that do things based on user role — but those are too complicated to set up user roles just to disable an account.

This does exactly what I needed — a simple plugin that lets me disable a user with just a checkbox. Simple.

Great idea for limiting access to others (admins or other users) while doing updates or maintenance on the backend.
