But if you rename it and dont add and secrurity, they can find it again! It really does do much.

Just use captcha, keep it up to date. Only all registered users to comment. Only allow someone who has a preapproved comment to comment.

And you’ll be fine.

Changing slugs doesnt do any good.

Actually, changing your registration slug wont do much. The spammers will just find the page again and then youldd have to change your registration slug again.

Its best to add capthca to your registration and to your comments.

have you customized your code at all? I had a similar issue and it turns out, I left out the do_action before and after.

are you using recapthca? You should use this on comments and or registrtion. Should squash a few of those spammers.

Or you could hold their comment for moderation and block those users and or ip address.

I have a similar issue where users sign up, get the activation email but are sent to a page asking for an activation key to be entered in an input field. One member on this site told me the key is the in the url. Sure, I realize that. But how do the users know that?

Looks like ill have to add some text to that email stating that incasae they are prompted with that field.

There is no indication that that needs to be done.

@igeekout

Member

so youre saying, a user needs to copy the key string and paste it in to the input field where im being asked to enter my activation key?

why do I think thats wrong?

@igeekout

@Andrea_r Yes, I understand that the link is the activation. But where is the activation code that its asking me to enter…

As I stated in previous posts…..

when I click the link, I am sometimes taken to a page where im asked to enter a activation key. But there is no activation key in the email. Just a link.

Clicking the link doesn’t add the activation code in the input field does it? Where is the email with the activation code that needs to be entered in to input

@Andrea_r Nope, cant post a link cause its not live yet and client would freak.

Here’s what happens.

I get an email. It contains an activation link. If I click that link, sometimes im taken to a page that asks for an activation key to be entered in to an field. But I never received an activation key.

@Andrea_r so youre saying there are two emails? One with the link and another with the key?

If thats the case, Why does one email come through with the link and the other doesnt?

Thanks.
