I spent some time yesterday to try to stop the constant flow of spam users and blogs being created on my site. Here is what I did…
1- deleted extra registration.php in bbpress folder
2- changed reg. slug
3- installed humanity
4- installed Si Captcha
5- added code from above to htaccess
I am still get about 20-30 per day. Is there a way to tell if these are humans or bots creating these accounts and blogs? I don’t know what else to do, any ideas? ( I really don’t want to disable blog creation during registration)
I wish new blogs worked like comments, meaning that the first post by a new member has to be approved before the blog is active. Once the first post has been approved the blog would then become active and viewable by the public.
O MY GOD, I am so sick of deleting spam blogs! Does anyone know if the new version of BP coming out will have anything built in to prevent these spam blogs?
@rogercoathup Is there a way to reuse the same code that is used on the blog directory page? (blog-loop.php) I just realized that page does exactly what I want, almost. Instead of returning every blog, I would only want, say blogs with the id 1, 2, 3 and 4 (my featured blogs).
When viewing on google analytics it give me the stats across all blogs, but it just says /pagename for all the page views etc. Can’t really tell what blog its coming from.
Is there a better way to view stats (doesnt have to be GA)? GA’s documentation says I can use an “advanced filter” to view the full path, but it seems really confusing.
Yup, works great across all blogs. Also, when I signed up for GA account it had an option specifically for sub-domains, which generated a slightly different script than the one in the example.
I am looking to install GA on the main blog as well as all other sub blogs. Is the above method still the best way to do this? This was posted a few months ago so I wanted to double check. Thanks.
create a user, give him super admin privileges (site admin -> options -> site admins, test this is working, then delete admin out of database tbl wp_users.
