FAKE USERS ARE BEING REGISTERED EVERY DAY

[lortnok]

bots, fake accounts are saturating the customer list because new accounts are registered daily. Never a transaction and random email addresses so they are for sure not belong to real people. How to fix this so it is a tiny bit harder to register at the website? I have captcha and honeypot on my custom contact form and that works well, we need a solution for account registration, too to prevent spamming.

oh! where can people register? do you have a website url for me?

hmm not sure, i would just try to use anti spam plugins. like akismet
i mean even here on the forum i use 2 antispam plugins, but sometimes spam accounts still manage to register. im not sure if it can ever be 100% be solved

@arminunruh i do use them. But how can I integrate it when it comes to creating new accounts with woocommerce? Since I don’t edit the account related pages directly. I think this is a very important security feature for a webshop since these customers are also being created at the gateway side. I contacted the gateway they said this is a security issue of the website.

[arminunruh]

what do you mean with gateway? you mean payment gateway? which payment methods do you use?

do you mind sending me your wp-admin login, you could also just create a new admin user just for me.

i want to see which anti spam plugin you use and if it works correctly with lay theme

Can you please send:

• a link to this forum topic
• your website address
• /wp-admin/ username and password
  to: info@laytheme.com
