The easy solution without deleteing anything is to use the WP Cerber plugin and set some rigourous settings. Also enable Invisible Recaptcha in the plugin. btw the logging is fabulous and tells you EXACTLY who is registering, their IP and country of origin. Most are from already blocked nation states but it still shows them :)

Hi, any solution?, re-captcha is not showing up if a new user is registering through WP directory ...... /wp-admin .... !,
It would be good if people could register after purchase only, but it doesn't happen. Any one can register or No one !?

Ok. I found a solution.

The spamming bots uses
wp-signup.php
wp-login.php?action=register
to register users (I found out)

So i removed wp-signup.php from my wordpress install in cpanel using file manager.

I then installed WPS Hide Login wordpress plugin (FREE) can change login path ( in general settings dashboard)

domain.com/wp-admin/ -> domain.com/staff-only/

Doing so will disable wp-login.php?action=register and therefore no more spam registrations :p

Hi dtch. Can you give step by step instruction about your method. I'm a beginner in using wordpress/cpanel/managing website.
Thanks

I was also getting lots of spam registration until I used the code below in my .htaccess code

Redirect 301 /wp-login.php https://yourwebsite.com/register
Redirect 301 /wp-signup.php https://yourwebsite.com/register

NOTE: Replace yourwebsite.com with your own site url.

This will, in fact, redirect all the users/bots to the page designed by AliDropship plugin which requires the name, email, and password to register along with the google ReCaptcha option. This definitely served the purpose for me and no spam registrations recorded thereafter.
