Can I disable standard WP registration and let WC registration only?

  • I’m having problems with some spam user account registrations. They are registering fake accounts with different email domains (they started with @mail.ru, but today I found other domains) and these registrations are coming from the wp-login.php?action=register link (so users will have “subscriber” role). I removed these accounts manually and I used Ban Hammer plugin to block some domain but I would like to find a more effective workaround.

    Is it safe to disable the option in “General settings” of WordPress for user registration and let only WooCommerce registrations? For “WooCommerce registrations” I mean that users can register their account via “My account” page and the “Checkout” page.

    I tried to disable the “General settings” option in a WP offline installation and it seems that the WC registration works correclty, but I’m not sure if this is safe and don’t create problems to WC customers.

    Thanks for any suggestion.

    Checked it … orders work … user reg in ordering process works too… login /logout everything good…

    wp-login.php?action=register -> gives Reg not allowed – no more bot regs ??
