Blocked Users
Gives a member one place to see everyone they have blocked and to unblock them.
The blocking itself is User Blocking, which is added to your app for you. This screen is optional: by default the same list is also reachable from Settings › Blocked members.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”| Plugin | None. Built into Memberside |
| Endpoint group | User Blocking |
| Plan | Every plan |
Add it to your app
Section titled “Add it to your app”- Drag Blocked Users onto a navigation bar, a side drawer or a sidebar.
- Set a title and description, or keep the defaults.
Members-only, like any account screen: the side drawer usually suits it better than the bottom bar.
Settings
Section titled “Settings”| Setting | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Title | The heading above the list | Blocked members |
| Description | One line under the heading | People you block can’t see your profile or posts, or message you. They aren’t told. |
| Hide top navigation | Hides the top nav bar while the screen is open, with a back arrow in its place | Off |
| Restrictions | Which roles see the tab | Everyone |
The Blocked members row in Settings opens the same list. Turn that row off with Show Blocked members in Settings on User Blocking if this screen is where you want members to go.
What your members see
Section titled “What your members see”Each blocked member is a row with their photo, their name and Unblock, newest first, loading more as the list scrolls. With nobody blocked the screen says “You haven’t blocked anyone.”
Unblock asks first: “Unblock Sam? They’ll be able to see your profile and posts again. Follows and friendships removed by the block aren’t restored.”
Members are added to this list from the ⋯ menu on a post, comment, profile, forum reply or conversation, not from here.

When it does not work
Section titled “When it does not work”| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The screen shows an error instead of a list | The User Blocking endpoint group is off | Enable the endpoints you need |
| The screen shows an error, with the group on | Your site runs a Memberside version from before User Blocking | Update Memberside |
| Someone blocked in chat on your website is missing | The site has not yet imported chat blocks, which happens once the User Blocking group is on | Switch the group on, then reopen the screen |
| After unblocking, the member does not follow you again | Blocking removed the follow, and unblocking does not restore it | Working as intended |
