 * My site has been hit by registration bots for a while. I changed the name of 
   the registration page and the unwanted registrations stopped. But I’m afraid 
   that it will start again when they find the new page name.
    Because of the amount
   of registrations I blocked automatic approval of users.
 * Is it possible to stop bots on the registration page? fi:
    AIOWPS uses a honeypot
   on the standard WP form but I don’t want to use that form. Can a honeypot be 
   set for the PR registration form?
 * Any other suggestions are welcome!

 * Hi,
 * You can use math captcha and Google reCaptcha (v2) in your PR registration form.
   Honeypot feature is available in PR **paid version**.
 * Learn more about captcha support in Pie Register plugin [here](https://pieregister.com/features/captcha-support/).
 * Thanks
