Need Some WordPress Help : Users



Hey everyone I am having an issue.  I seem to be getting someone who is trying to setup multiple users on my wordpress blog each day.  They are just random letters so I am assuming it is a spammer or a bot.  Is there a way to shut off allowing people to setup an account?  Any help with the issue would be appreciated.

    If you don't want to allow users at all, it's under Settings (General) – you will see a Membership section for 'Anyone can register' – just turn that off.

    There definitely is, Jeff. Go to WP-ADMIN > Settings > General > uncheck “Anyone can register”.

    Since you are using Disqus, you don't need to change the default behavior of comments.

    That should take care of it!

    See my tweet and also under Settings -> General there is the option that says “Anyone can register”. Mine is checked. You might try unchecking that.

    So I didn't see the comments until I commented.. Looks like you figured it out. Odd I wouldn't see any comments until I made my comment.
