    I receive messages from WordPress about new followers that turn out to be spam. What can I do to stop these from piling up on my site?

  • I took a look at your site and noticed that there isn’t a visible “subscribe” form. Could you clarify where your followers are coming from? Are they subscribing through a form or a pop-up?

    I also noticed that you are using WPForms and Mailmunch. For WPForms, you can enable CAPTCHA to help prevent spam signups and ensure only genuine users get through. You can set it up in wp-admin by going to WPForms > Settings > CAPTCHA.

    Additionally, consider using a plugin like Akismet. It works great for blocking spam comments and spam form submissions, and it’s easy to set up. You can find it here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/akismet/

    If you don’t need users to register for your site, switch off “Anyone can register” at Settings -> General in your site’s Dashboard.
