Hi

Thanks for creating this fantastic forum plugin, we like it a lot 🙂

I'd like to know if it's possible to password protect user registration form somehow? We are trying to minimize any bots etc from creating forum accounts and only have it for around 100 people but we keep getting some random user account requests which is annoying. 

We do have reCaptcha installed but that doesn't seem to stop all these rogue users/bots. We have also enabled "Approve New Users" so they aren't getting through anyway, but still...

So I'm thinking if it's possible to set up a security question with a specific answer (which only our members know) on the user registration page? That way rogue users would fail on that step and wouldn't be even able to request an account from us.

Thanks

Hi @chaplin,

Thank you for using wpForo and for contacting us.

Please note user registration and account creation is a part of WordPress core. wpForo only provides a registration form. 

I'd suggest you find some additional plugin for this purpose.
