Hey Keith,

I am quite certain I don’t use any of those things (will confirm this once my server is back up and running!), the most it would be is a plugin for a verification code…but I think I removed that. All registration forms are by the theme though – I’m using the Custom Community theme.

Folgerj, that’s a good question – until recently I wasn’t allowing any registrations (it’s these that are the problem now, comment spam is taken care of), however I have installed an online exam plugin called WatuPRO and in order to charge a fee for sitting the online exam, people have to register as a “student” and then they can pay. This is the only way the plugin uses that functionality of collecting a fee for the exam. Unfortunately this means I have to set it to “anyone can register”…

Unless you have another solution?

Thanks for your help!

Hey Keith,

So far no change in the registrations with about 25 new spam registrations yesterday… Is there anything else I can try?

Thank you for your time!

Drew.

Okay, will do – thanks Keith!!

Thanks Keith!

Any easy steps to follow to check this whether I’m using a proxy server and what firewalls are in place? Would this all be in my cPanel?

Thank you!
Drew.
