Registration allows email duplicates in database

    I run a worpress blog to which people can subscribe to post comments. I’m having the following problem with registration: people can subscribe twice with the same email, or even the same username, thus creating duplicates in the database.

    I’m quite surprised duplicates-checking isn’t implemented in WordPress.

    Any idea how to fix this problem?

    Which version?
    I know WP checks for duplicate username and email and doesn’t let happen what you described…

    I’m running WP 1.5.2

    It does happen on my blog, though I haven’t changed anything related to the registration functions.

    I’ve double-checked the problem. It actually only arises for EMAILS duplicates. No duplicate username is accepted during registration.

    How come I can register twice with the same email (with different usernames)?

    Any help welcome.

    I don’t remember how it was in 1.5.2 – though I might check if I have time.
    In 2.x you cannot register twice witht he same email, for sure.
