Disappointed

    Sadly, the greatest quantity of spam received comes from the developer, begging you to upgrade to the paid version. I installed this plugin on two hobby sites, one moderately busy (but nothing like a commercial site) and one that sees few visitors. Curiously I received two emails on the same day, and repetitively thereafter saying that I needed to upgrade to the paid version owing to my sites being too busy and that protection had been turned off until spam traffic reduces. Yeah right . . .

    I turned it off, and received three dubious form submissions in 24 hours on the busier site, none on the other. Hmmmm.

    Now trying an alternative plugin.

    Thanks for posting.

    You are describing HIGH_VOLUME that’s affecting the FREE server, does not relate specifically to your sites but to the high demand on the free server hosting all free requests. You might need to upgrade the plugin to the latest version to get the correct message. You should have gotten one email only, it shoots in case of any malfunction, the email also states to wait until the scan demand on the free server drops and the connection gets re-established.

    Thanks for using the service for such a long time… 2023-07-17 11:12:12, was clearly nice and even motivated you to drop a few lines here. Maybe you should have drop us a line directly via support!

    Best of luck with alternatives.

    It is natural for WordPress sites to receive numerous automated attempts at logins/registrations, especially those that allow postings (such as forums) but they are certain to fail when you use the WPS Hide Login plugin which changes the login address to something obscure that they cannot identify.

    oh yeah, the can identify alright… /9821lt845/?action=register

    Check the logs… if you still have any with the last 7 days.

    If alternatives handle sql injections via post fields you are all good.

    Best of luck.
