Receiving spam registrations even though captcha installed.
-
Hello!
In the last 48 hours I have received over 100 registrations on my website, so I started to look for a captcha solution to combat the spam. I had to install two different captchas, since I have two different signup pages on my site.
I have now installed and activated https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/no-captcha-recaptcha-for-woocommerce/, for this page:
mysite[dot]com/my-account/
and have installed and activated: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/bwp-recaptcha/, for this page:
mysite[dot]come/register/
Now the strange thing is that the registrations are still occurring even after I installed the plugin:
I’ve tested the captchas on both and confirmed that if they are not filled in, the registration doesn’t go through.
Now here is the strangest thing of all. When I actually register through those forms, I’m categorized as a “customer”, however all the “spam” registrations are categorized as “subscribers”:
So now I’m thinking that they are somehow registering through another form, but I am only aware of these two.
Can anyone please provide some insight?
Thank you very much!
