Hi guys, I’ve seen something called Buddypress Humanity which adds a security question to the BP registration but I was just wondering if there were any other neat ways to combat spam sign ups?

Thanks

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-contact-form/ and https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/ work well for me with buddypress….

@Aces Nice one! Installed Si Captcha and it works a treat. Is there any way to put a note to users under the CAPTCHA actually what it is and why they have to type in the code?

I know it’s so basic but for some users who haven’t seen them before it’s always nice to have a little message saying ‘Please type the CAPTCHA code into the box above’.

I haven’t really explored it much, apart from getting the css to match various site designs…. I’ve tried to avoid using it but the spam (particularly the spam registrations) gets to be annoying. Adding this and the problem goes – apart from what appears to be the odd human spammer…

You could change where it says CAPTCHA Code to your own message – It’s an option at the bottom of the admin screen.

It would be nice to be able to place a text line above the graphic and above the captcha code line….

Great stuff! I’ve emailed the plugin author to see if it’s something he can add! I’ll keep you posted!
