Thread: Optionally Require Math Question At Registration

Optionally Require Math Question At Registration

I would like to require the answering of a math question at registration. This could be made optional as some CP users may not want this.

For a period I had the SimplePressForum plugin installed on my CP site, and it allowed me to have the math question at registration. This brought daily spambot registrations down to zero!

I've since removed the SPF plugin because I'm using bbpress instead. But I may add this plugin back just for the math question alone. Otherwise, I'm getting several spambot registrations per day.

I use the WP user registration plugin which has a security field as well as allows users to pick their own passwords. It seems to have helped me with spam registrations as well..http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...-registration/

Thanks Pepsi, I'll check it out.

Still, I like to use as few plugins as possible, and would like both of those features built into CP (security question, and option to define password).
