Disable WP Registration Page

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewers say it stops bot and fake-user registrations with a single install, with one asking to make the disabled-registration message editable.

   My only suggestion for improvement: when active, the register link is replaced by a text message that says “Manual registration is disabled”. It would be good if I could edit the message. Otherwise I love it, it has completely stopped annoying bot account registrations. This topic was modified 7 years, 10 months ago by Pedro Magnifico.

   Works perfectly. Stopped all bot registrations on two websites I manage. Plugin says not tested with current version, but I’m on 4.81 and it works fine.

   I hate bots that pass my custon login pages. Now, this plugin solved my problem with a single click of installation and it’s what I wanted for months. Thank you!

   I have a custom registration form and don’t want users bypass it. This plugin does force users to go through the custom form. Thanks.

   I was having trouble with bots registering through the default WP registration page. I disabled the link in wp-admin but they were doing it directly from the registration page. I am handling user registration via custom login page so I did not need a default registration. I googled the options, downloaded “Disabled WPRegistration Page” plugin and it works like a charm.
