Hello! We are getting about 100 spam users every 6-8 hours. Seems to be done in bulk. They are getting auto approved too even though we have that setting off. Any idea what could be the issue? We have v3 reCaptcha setup as well but they are still getting in.

Hi @uteman23,

When you enable registration on your site, the default registration form provided by WordPress is also activated. This default form does not require admin approval and does not include CAPTCHA verification, which can lead to spam registrations.

To prevent this, please check the following documentation and follow the steps to hide the default WordPress login page:

Best regards!
