Hi there,
The moderator closed my previous post, probably due to my lack of response due to different time zone. Here, I am clarifying the issue and am trying to get a solution from the community.
Everyday, I have got nearly a hundred of registrations (free membership, which I put this under “subscriber” category). I tried to delete the membership types in the product, but still unable to stop the scam registrations. Is there anyway to stop this? I am attaching a photo so that you understand what I am talking about.
Sorry! You are facing a problem with your website’s Backend membership plan maintenance. But We are not sure what theme/plugin are you using for your website membership plan.
Have you checked the documentation of the theme/plugin? Is there any security measure to avoid those spamming? Have you contacted the author of the theme/plugin?
Bot registrations on WordPress sites are very common, especially if your site allows open registration.
Here are some of the ways to stop bots from registering on your site:
Using Cloudflare can help block bots, especially with its Bot Protection feature.
Change the WordPress registration URL. Bots typically target the default login page (/wp-login.php or /wp-admin), so renaming it makes automated attacks less effective. Install a plugin like WPS Hide Login or Rename wp-login.php.
Adding Google reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha can significantly reduce bot signups
Use an email verification plugin to make sure users confirm their email before logging in. You can also use the Restrict Email Domains plugin to allow only certain email domains to register.
There are other ways, like honeypot protection, and many plugins to stop spam registrations.
