Hi

I wonder how I avoid user signing into to my forum in www.tisvildelunde.dk without my manual approval.

See example below, where this user “bnky” apparently managed to get in. I have blocked him now and deleted him and his posts.

Also I have now disabled XML-RPC via wordfence -> login security -> settings.

Hi @plaurits,

Try this plugin for manually approving user registration in the forum.

Thanks Chris.

Which plug-in should I use instead of wpforo?

I do not use any of those, i have no idea if they work ok or not. But others do use them.

Ok, hope somebody will look into this bug, which the intruder used as backdoor to get in without my approval. As mentioned I think it is related to xml RPC.

There is no bug or backdoor or anything into wpForo.

Registrations/login/emails/RPC are all handled by Wordpress. wpForo provides just some forms for easyness.
