YOu can’t bypass email verification….
But anyway, check http://www.darcynorman.net/2009/05/20/stopping-spamblog-registration-in-wordpress-multiuser/
Change the wp-signup.php to your registration page slug.
Also change that slug to something else. Like ‘join-us’
Thanks Ipstenu.
I have modified .htaccess following the link you provided. And i hope i will be safe from spammmmmers:)
For slug change, i am not sure if it is required in my case when, on main site registration page is example.com/register and on blog its site1.example.com/wp-login.php (its one page for login and registration)
if i try to access wp-signup.php on main site with url example.com/wp-signup.php it redirects to example.com/register and on blog site site1.example.com/wp-signup.php it also redirects to example.com/register
Can you please direct me in right direction if still it is required
on main site registration page is example.com/register and on blog its site1.example.com/wp-login.php (its one page for login and registration)
So you didn’t network activate BuddyPress then? Becuase that should redirect you to site1.example.com/wp-signup.php and THEN redirect to example.com/register
if i try to access wp-signup.php on main site with url example.com/wp-signup.php it redirects to example.com/register and on blog site site1.example.com/wp-signup.php it also redirects to example.com/register
That’s 100% as it should be.
It is network activated, and site1.example.com/wp-signup.php redirects to main site registration page. But site1.example.com/wp-login.php doesn’t redirect.
Anyway, .htaccess modification is blocking spammers registration, it is reduced from 4-5 per day to 1. and no spam status posts since this modification.
Thanks for your help.
But site1.example.com/wp-login.php
Well. No. But that isn’t the REGISTRATION page 🙂
correct 🙂
and multisite/buddypress default behavior will not redirect login page.
And on site1 its Jobroller theme using same page for login and registration.
and multisite/buddypress default behavior will not redirect login page.
Default WP behavior: Don’t redirect the login page (because if you do, folks can’t log in). This is true.
You don’t redirect the login page, you just provide a different one publicly. The wiseasses will always know anyway.
