How to stop bots from making accounts. I already have the Akismet activated. help
Hi @pinoydragonball,
The Akismet is not enough. Please read this topic: https://wpforo.com/community/faq/how-to-stop-spam/
Account creations (register) is handled by Wordpress not wpForo.
There are a LOT of plugins to control all that, login, registrations, security ...
@dimalifragis Hello what plug ins do you suggest? That you are using and have proven to work
@pinoydragonball Well it is not easy to suggest security plugins, still check
https://wordpress.org/plugins/blackhole-bad-bots/
that i use in one site with great results related to BOTS.
In my main site i only use for security AND BOTS one plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninjafirewall/
For me, it is almost perfect.
@dimalifragis What is the best free, that can stop the user registration spam? I don't have much of a budget so I was wondering which one is the best specifically for user registration and is free
@pinoydragonball Both are free, i'm sorry but i can't tell you what exactly fits to your site.
It depends from many things.
Try https://wordpress.org/plugins/blackhole-bad-bots/ first and see how it goes.
