Fighting spam
July 18th, 2008 | by David |OMG, those registration spam bots are such an annoyance!
For this reason I combined my upgrade to wordpress 2.6 with the installation of the Register-Plus plugin to add a captcha to the registration. Unfortunately the simple captcha does not seem to work, it always tells me that my captcha code is wrong (I also tried adding session_start() to wp_login.php as suggested by the plugin, but it didn’t help), so I switched to the reCAPTCHA service. reCAPTCHA works and should be good against bots, so let’s hope for the best!
