Plug-in for new user spam?

Hey dimplefaceCT,

This can happen when “Anyone Can Register” option checked under Settings > Membership. It is a little frustrating. When this option is checked, a “Register” link on the wp-login.php is added that redirects to https://www.yourdomain.com/wp-login.php?action=register.

To combat this, I’m using the “Math Captcha” plugin. This adds a captcha option that requires the user to do some simple math. Example: 66 – ____ = 63. The user would need to input the correct answer to register. You can download this plugin at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-math-captcha/.
