How to Log Users IP address when they register?

  • I can not find any plugins,that enable me to see users IP address where they registered from. I like to see that IP in admin >> users page.

    Yes, I have a CAPTCHA and registration URL/mail blaa blaa blaa, but plenty of spammers still pass those and we still get our share of registration spam.

    For now, I tail|grep log file and get the IP addresses, and add those to my htaccess file.

    Guess what, same compromised computers keep banging on the registration and login pages.
    For a while I even informed the admins, who manage particular IP range but that was total waste of time.

    Here is just an example of IP that host compromised computers.
    Sure, some ranges are huge but I really do not care for traffic from those countries ?? 

    107.161.82.
107.183.16.
120.37.
123.13.
142.4.212.217
162.248.102.
162.250.188.
178.238.133.
178.33.
183.207.
204.93.54.
27.159.
37.187.
37.247.52.
46.105.248.
5.79.81.
67.220.144.
69.167.81.
72.46.152.
85.17.227.

    So, long story short – this non existing plugin must not only show the registration IP but also enable WP site admins to ban specific IP or a subnet.

    Am I really the only WP user who needs this functionality? o_O

    Or is there a better way to find like minds who can actually write the code for this?

    I can not even write “hello world” from scratch. So I am obviously not a programmer but I can help testing ??

    Try out this plugin, Stop Spammers Plugin. I have been testing it for over week after I was stormed by bots. It is doing a good job. Shows how your site is being targeted. The two main files that spammers and bots will target are your comments.php and your login.php. YOu may also report them to a few spam info databases.

    I have the same problem, I will check Stop Spammer plugin
