It would be good if I could edit the message. Otherwise I love it, it has completely stopped annoying bot account registrations. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f9adbfc9a002d166296b5431e28776eec05041dff714a286909a8fbe2f280ef4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Completely eliminated all bot registrations!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/completely-eliminated-all-bot-registrations/)󠁿 [MagicTH](https://profiles.wordpress.org/magicth/) August 27, 2017 1 reply Works perfectly.

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.
