How to block spammers

  • I’ve discovered today that there is a spammer who is constantly able to publish spam in my website’s forum and I don’t get emails notify me of this. I was wondering if there were any way to block spammers who register as users or to change the settings to prevent this from happening?

    I have full admin access to my site.

    Thank you.

  • I recommend a anti-comment spam plugin called “NoSpamNX”, but that is just for comment spam. Second, install “Limit Login Attempts”. You’ll be doing yourself a favor.

    Do you actually need people to register on the site or not? If not, then disable that completely:

    In your Settings > Options > General

    Membership

    * Anyone can register – Check this checkbox if you want anyone in cyberspace to be able to register an account on your blog.

    * Users must be registered and logged in to comment – If this checkbox is checked, only logged in registered users will be able to write comments on your site.
