Re: WordPress Registration Email Validation

[ddliu]

I don’t think it’s in the theme, you may change it here:
file wp-login.php, find function “register_new_user”, find code:

// Check the e-mail address

if ( $user_email == '' ) {

$errors->add( 'empty_email', __( 'ERROR: Please type your e-mail address.' ) );

} elseif ( ! is_email( $user_email ) ) {

$errors->add( 'invalid_email', __( 'ERROR: The email address isn’t correct.' ) );

$user_email = '';

} elseif ( email_exists( $user_email ) ) {

$errors->add( 'email_exists', __( 'ERROR: This email is already registered, please choose another one.' ) );

}

add following code at the end of the if…else… scope:

elseif (!preg_match('#[@.]ac.uk$#i', $user_email){

$errors->add( 'invalid_email', __( 'ERROR: Only "ac.uk" email address allowed.' ) );

$user_email = '';

}

Maybe there is a way to change it in the theme? I have no idea, don’t know that much.
