hi my name is Travis pflanz with webworks of Kansas City in this short video I’m going to show you how to block spam user registrations on your WordPress website

now as a WordPress website on her unless you’re selling products or services or your customers are paying their invoices online you really don’t need random users to be able to create a user account on your website this is something that is very common for new WordPress users and inexperience WordPress users so you may be getting emails on a regular basis that you’re getting all of these people signing up for your website and becoming users well hate to tell you those aren’t real people interested in your website those are spam Bots and they are trying to get access to your website to do some damage however we can block all of those registrations very simply and it’s already built into WordPress so here we are on our homepage I just got your address bar and at the end of your domain names type slash wp-admin

and it’ll pull up your login page so just go ahead and log in with your username and password

and now we are on the WordPress dashboard so we want to scroll down to our setting section the general settings

and we want to look for the membership Ship section in the membership section there’s one there’s two options but the one option that we’re worried with most is the anyone can register if this is checked this means that any visitor to your website can create an account including those spambots so we want to just uncheck anyone can register and scroll down and click save changes

now this will block all Spam users and Bots from being able to register an account on your website you can of course still create an account for any employees or Co bloggers that you need just by going to the users and add new what if you’ve been experiencing the spam user phenomenon for a while let’s go into all users and you’ll just want to look through this section to make sure that you don’t have any spam users that aren’t supposed to be there if you have any spam users that you don’t want of course all Spam use as you don’t want but just checking users that you want to delete check them all at the same time and it’ll drop down here so I can delete and then apply and you will delete all of those spam users get rid of them from your website and you won’t have to deal with him again

I hope this helps you if you have any questions asked in the comment section below and I’ll be happy to address any questions that I can thanks for watching
