The Russians are coming

I have open reg turned off, yet i keep getting new members registering at level 0 — yup, they’re all russians (gasp!).

Is this something i should worry about?

JUST A BURIED LOGIN LINK THAT PEOPLE WERE USING TO REGISTER! WE must be big in moscow.

Thanks for the update. Glad you fixed it. :)

I’m curious, how was that link allowing them to register if you have open registration disabled?

… on the login page — there is always a link to register even with “open reg” turned -off! This really surprised me.

Ah, I know what you mean. This happened to me too. Normally the link is removed from the login page when I have Open Registrations disabled, but once I had the link be there although registrations were closed. It took me a while before I realized that I had a cookie in the browser from an old signup test, which was letting me register and thus the link was there.

hmmm that’s weird. The troubling thing is that other people (not just me) are seeing this link also. Could it be the wordpress cache? I’m cleaning that now… will let you know.

Cool. Let me know.

Ah, and could it be that you have a free registration pro-form forgotten somewhere? That one doesn’t care about the Open Registration setting. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Pro Forms -› Free Registration Forms[/hilite]

nope — it’s still there. Open reg is turned-off but the registration link on the login page is still there. I tried emptying the cache (wordpress). Have a look and tell me if you see it:

Thanks for the heads up on this thread :-)

If this is occurring on a clean installation of WordPress, please submit a Dashboard login privately and we will invetigate this for you. So far we’ve been unable to reproduce this here in our lab. I’m not aware of this being a bug. However, investigating this in your environment may shed some light. Thanks!

Thanks Jason — it’s not a clean install’n so, I will do that first and if it doesn’t correct i’ll submit a Dashboard login. ~J
