Thanks in advance for support
Hi @diegopino
Install an anti-spam plugin > https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/spam/
I use Cleantalk, for example
visit my german wpForo Community > Tutrix.de
with lots of customization & modification, e.g. hover cards, topic/post preview on mouseover, chatbox and much more...
Spam should be blocked at REGISTRATION/LOGIN level.
Otherwise it is very hard.
Google Captcha 3 is a good start.
Thank you so much @tutrix and @dimalifragis for your support 👍
Now i update the Blog Wordpress to 6.5 and install CleanTalk.
Thank you 🙂
@diegopino CleanTalk will make your site slow.
