OK, thanks. Here’s what I’m doing for a workaround with my plugin so that it works with our without New User Approve:

function plcreb_init() {                                                                                                                                                                                                                // Check if the New User Approve plugin is active                                                                                                                                                                                   if ( ! function_exists( 'is_plugin_active' ) ) {                                                                                                                                                                                        require_once ABSPATH .

But according to the docs, validation should not happen during “regsiter_post” so this fix is not ideal.

Hi @stevied,

Can you please let me know which plugin you are using for Registration Form Validation so we can check compatibility and resolve this?

Thank you

It’s my own plugin that I’m writing.

But just about any captcha module has the same problem. If the bot fails the captcha, a pending account is still created. So the admin gets tons of annoying email notifications for bot registrations that fail.

Hi @stevied,

We are unable to replicate the issue on our staging site.

Could you please share the screencast video of an issue that you are getting?

Thank you

Hi @stevied,

We are resolving this thread due to lack of activity if you have any questions so please open a new thread.

Thank you
