It may be too soon to say with certainty, but it appears that the bot was bypassing the Ultimate Member workflow by taking advantage of the Woocommerce “Allow customer to create an account during checkout” option.

After disabling that option in the Woocommerce settings, the bot account registration has seemingly stopped with no new registrations in the last 17 hours.

Thanks All!

Thanks for the link! The setting in Woocommerce to “Allow customer to create an account during checkout” was checked so I have unchecked that to see if it stops the bot account registrations.

However, I also have the Woocommerce Subscriptions extension and that adds the option to “Allow subscription customers to create an account during checkout” which I’m leaving checked for the time being. If accounts continue to be created I will uncheck that as well and see what happens, but unchecking it would be disruptive to the process for legitimate customers who don’t create an account prior to making a purchase.

Yes, “Anyone Can Register” is unchecked and I do have the reCaptcha extension, always have but when they have found way around using the registration form itself reCaptcha doesn’t come into play.

Clearly there is another way someone has figured out to register new accounts.

In the last couple of weeks I started getting an error when trying to launch the Divi Builder. I narrowed it down to the W3 Total Cache plugin because the Divi Builder works when that plugin is disabled.

I just further narrowed down the issue to being something in the Browser Cache settings. When Browser Cache is enabled under General Settings the Divi Builder does not work, when I disable the Browser Cache the Divi Builder works again.

I haven’t had any issues with Browser Cache enabled for over a year and then all of the sudden it started acting up after one of the recent updates.

No problem, just wanted to update the thread with more specifics for others who may come across the same issue.

Thanks!

Yes, I should have mentioned in my original post that we are using several Woocommerce plugins including Woocommerce Memberships as well as Subscriptions and the UM extension for Woocommerce.

It’s actually the Ultimate Member – WooCommerce plugin that is being flag as only being tested up to Woocommerce version 3.9.2.

Thank You!
