spam registeration

  • hi, i have a spam registration (by thousands) every day on my site, used ure plugin, but still they are registering (shows that 1000 spam blocked but i still have more than 500 registration in 6 hours).

    and about the captcha, i use a custom theme, with a built-in registration form. i cant see the captcha anywhere, i even used a blocked email from the spam log and i could register without any problems.

    i can see the re captcha from google in the settings page, but not in the registration progress.

    can you help me in that?
    i have deleted the hole site files and fresh installed everything and still have the spam registrations.

    site url: RevitWay
    Registration: Sign Up Page

  • I think that your theme may be letting the registrations through. The plugin never sees them. The captcha only shows when the plugin things a user is a spammer. If the plugin does not see the the spammer then it can’t show the captcha.

    You should look at the log report and see if stop spammers is reporting anything about the registrations.

    if that what you mean, yes it says that some register progresses is blocked

    installed wp yesterday and i got this
    Stop Spammers in total has stopped 5814 spammers since 2015/06/15.

    and users
    All (494) | Administrator (1) | Subscriber (400) | Student (93) | Keymaster (1) | Participant (424) | Pending (389)

    The plugin is detecting the spam, but the form sees the registration first and registers the users before the plugin has a chance to stop them. Then the plugin tries to stop them, but it is too late. They have already registered.

    Ummmm, ok, what can i do to fix that? what should i change?
    Can you help me if i gave you an administration access and an ftp account??

    I want to return my site back, i cant live with that spams forever ??

    should i remove the theme or there is something that i can do?

    till you reply i will deactivate the theme and see if the problem is solved, thanx

    I don’t know what the theme is doing on the custom page. It looks like it hooks into wordpress and grabs the form so it can do the registration. If I had the theme, I could possibly find and fix the problem, but this is really the responsibility of the theme author.

    Stop Spammers is behaving well and using standard wordpress events to inspect a registration assuming it is coming from standard wordpress registration forms. I have a few tweaks that let it work with gravity forms and a couple of other popular plugins.

    If you can’t live without the theme, you may have to live without Stop Spammers. I looked at the WPLMS features and it seems to be a great theme with a rich feature set. It also has an active support forum. I would ask there for help with this issue. It may be an easy fix. Explain that Stop Spammers is hooking the “init” event, but the theme is getting there first before stop spammers can stop the user from registering.

    thank you for your fast reply, if i get rid of this by changing the theme i will, its a great theme ofcurse but i wont but security and taking control of my site is more important, So i will clean install wp again without any plugin/themes, only your plugin.

    thanks for your time

    Ok, now i have deleted everything, fresh install of wordpress and your plugin, same as with the theme, 100 block and still have users registered

    Make sure that you go to the cache item under stop spammers and clear the cache. The spammers can be getting in that way.

    There may be other issues.

    In the log report under Stop Spammers, the registered users should appear. Check their IP addresses on the stop spammer diagnostics page to see why they were not blocked. – Copy the IP address from a user that registered on the report page and paste it into the ip address text box on the diagnostics page and press enter. This will perform all tests and show you why this IP was allowed or blocked.
