Hi!
I am getting a lot of user registrations on my site and I don't know how they get there? One can't do that on my site, so I don't know how they do it? At the same time I get messages from Antispam by cleantalk like this:
Attention, please!
"Antispam by CleanTalk" plugin error on your site :
*** Your submission has been denied, please contact the site administrator at steph@offthepagecreations.com if this is a legitimate request. ***
Do you know what to do?
Thanks!
Definitely make sure the "Anyone can register" option is un-checked in "Settings > General".
Hi Tom!
Thank you for solving my problem! Do you think it's hackers? It was the weirdest e-mail addresses, and I don't know where on my site they could get to register?
Thanks Tom!
It could just be bots taking advantage of the registration form. I assume that registrations were open?
Be sure to delete all of those user accounts.
