Hi @laurenhagan0306 @ideadude. Thank You for the code. It works perfectly for new users, but I get an error of a not valid domain on membership renewal (even if the user's domain is in the list). What do You think could be the issue?

@laurenhagan0306 @ideadude, i propose to add:
if(is_null($email)){
return $value;
}
in line 11, because if the membership is renewed, $email is NULL. However the NULL check is done in the native pmpro filter.

Thank you for this gist and the blog post on this topic.
@nicolaboscolo, are you still experiencing an issue with renewals using this gist?
Can @ideadude confirm?

@hbcondo it resolves the issue. However, I cannot guarantee the security of this modification, as I am not a PHP expert.

thank you for your reply @nicolaboscolo. since @ideadude hasn't responded yet, would you mind posting your updated code as a comment here that resolves the error during membership renewal?

@hbcondo it would be like this:
My addition is on line 11.

Thanks, @nicolaboscolo! This clarifies the issue in that we are assuming $value contains the allowed email address that the member registered with so we will skip the validation process since it was performed during initial registration. Now I realize this gist needs to be expanded for my use case to perform the following:

• Validate TLD .edu email addresses for any education domain
• Apply to only a specific membership level; this gist as-is applies to all membership levels
• Line 41 in the original gist should be corrected to sizeof( $domain_to_check ) > 2

I have used this but showing critical error in line number 41.

if($components[0] == "*" && sizeof( $domain_to_check > 2 ) )

would you pls check this...
thanks in advance

i have found a solution to fix the error

function my_pmpro_registration_checks_restrict_email_addresses( $value ) {
$email = $_REQUEST['bemail'];
if(is_null($email)){
return $value;
}
if( ! my_checkForValidDomain( $email ) ) {
global $pmpro_msg, $pmpro_msgt;
$pmpro_msg = "Please enter a valid email address";
$pmpro_msgt = "pmpro_error";
$value = false;
}
return $value;
}
add_filter( 'pmpro_registration_checks','my_pmpro_registration_checks_restrict_email_addresses', 10, 1 );

//Taken from: http://www.bitrepository.com/how-to-extract-domain-name-from-an-e-mail-address-string.html
function my_getDomainFromEmail( $email ) {
// Get the data after the @ sign
$domain = substr(strrchr($email, "@"), 1);
return $domain;
}
function my_checkForValidDomain( $email ) {
$domain = my_getDomainFromEmail( $email );
// Update this array to include the domains you want to allow
$valid_domains = array( "yahoo.com", ".gmail.com", ".domain.uk" );
foreach($valid_domains as $valid_domain) {
$components = explode(".", $valid_domain);
$domain_to_check = explode(".", $domain);
if(!empty($components[0]->config == "*") && sizeof($domain_to_check->config > 2)) {
if($components[1] == $domain_to_check[1] && $components[2] == $domain_to_check[2]) {
return true;
}
} else {
if( !( strpos($valid_domain, $domain) === false) ) {
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}

I've just now fixed the line 41 error. Thanks.
