Registration through Rest API

  • We have a registration plugin that will not allow people to register without filling in some required fields yet some spam registrations are coming in with just basic registration info. These registrations are somehow bypassing the registration method that we have in place. I’ve reached out to the developer for the plugin that manages the registration extra required fields and he told me that he suspects that spammers have a way to register with the WP Rest API. Is this correct and can I disable that function somehow?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Try run some tests using disable-json-api plugin. This may be useful to eliminate REST API as the source.

    Thanks, but I’m working with a live site and don’t to affect any other plugins that may be using the REST API.
