I am continually getting spam users that are not registering for events yet a user is generated?
This sends a notification email and clogs my inbox
The give away is that no name is entered on the User and usually has a series of numbers in the username bobarney23456 something like that.
I have the captcha installed and just installed bad bot behavior plugin as referenced in another post..
any suggestions??

Hi Joe,
I have the captcha installed
As in another plugin or you have activated the EE reCaptcha?
Event Espresso -> Registration form -> Reg form settings -> reCAPTCHA Anti-spam Settings

Sorry Yes reCaptcha in the registration form settings is enabled. I’m also hosted on Dreamhost

Hi Joe,
If they’re registering new user account, and not registering for an event, then this has nothing to do with Event Espresso or the WP User Integration plugin. The form you need to protect is the form on this page:
https://www.clairescreativeadventures.com/wp-login.php?action=register
There are a number of options here:

Please note the plugins featured in that article are not endorsed or supported by Event Espresso. If you need help with any of those or other solutions you can contact the appropriate developer.
