  • Nice! Please add do_shortcode

    Thanks for that plugin – works great! I added do_shortcode in line 211 of block-user-account.php so the message can have a shortcode included then: $user_message = do_shortcode( get_user_meta($userinfo->ID, 'user_status_message', true) );

  • It would be great if it could be improved a little more.

    I tested 2 more plugins with this feature. This plugin gave the best results. It would be great if it could be improved a little more. e.g; It would be great to see all blocked users on 1 page.

  • Needs to some null checks

    You can't just blindly hope that $_POST['user_status'] and $_POST['user_status_message'] are going to be there when you call bua_save_user_status It's causing notices in my dev environments.
