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.

Br Peter

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.
