Control New User Spambot Registrations
-
Hi, Everyone!
I’m a newbie WP blogger and neophyte IT idiot, so excuse these questions that may seem ridiculous or redundant.
1) Must I create a special customized page to activate the WP admin user moderation feature for this plugin?
After very recent initial installation, I logged out and back in immediate but didn’t see a reCAPTCHA dialogue on my regular WP .php login page. This is despite copy/pasting “site” and “secret” API keys directly from Google’s re-CAP webmaster account interface.
2) Can I block all viewers who have not yet been approved or previously rejected from accessing my standard WP .php login page?
Ever since back-to-back Brute Force attacks began a few weeks ago, I’m so sick of spambots creating new ‘subscriber’ accounts but never posting comments or completing profiles for obscene usernames and/or weird IP addresses, etc.
Please help ASAP, as inbox piles up with auto-email alerts about failed logins and ‘ghost’ user signups even as I type this text!
MANY THANKS AND BEST REGARDS,
