  Hi there

  I am using WordPress 4.7.2 and UltimateMember 1.3.82
  On my registration form I also use Google ReCaptcha.
  My site is: http://www.models.style

  Currently I get a lot of spam registrations and I am wondering how this is possible ?
  When I look at realtime google analytics, I don’t see any connections,
  but as soonest I enable user registration, I get lot of stupid registrations :-(
  Also, what sense does it make for somebody or some system to register to my site ?

  Thanks for some help.

  Best regards
  Frank Uray

  @frankuray Hey there, you’ve posted your question in the support forums for sites hosted by WordPress.com, but your above site appears to be using the standalone WP software.

  Standalone WP and WordPressdotcom are different entities; more information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Help for self-hosted sites using the standalone WP software can be found over at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page and at https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums, you can register one on that page.

  @activeenglishru you haven’t provided us with the URL of the site you need help with, but if you are experiencing the same issue as @frankuray it’s likely your site is also using the standalone WP (org) software. Please head over to the ORG forums for assistance.

  Best wishes

  @frankuray I think I’ve found the troublemaking page. Please, open this page http://www.models.style/wp-login.php?action=register This page redirects but is you install a plugin with recaptcha which will add recaptcha to “hiden” pages as well, the problem will be solved. There are a lot of them in WP catalogue. You need to choose the one with signup form.

  Have a good day!

  Hi there

  Yes, the problem was that in UltimateMember you have to disable Backend Login/Register. Now it works :-)

  Best regards
