    I am frustrated as am having a huge number of user registrations being created even though I have the below settings
    => disabled “Anyone can register” under Settings > General if not required

    There must be an hidden form exposed by the Royal theme that is still allowing a bot to create user account

    Even after having captcha updated, the accounts were still being created

    Hello, Shafi,

    We are sorry that you have encountered this issue. Royal does not include any hidden registration forms. The Royal registration form operates based on the default WordPress settings, and the “Anyone can register” option affects this form. Please try disabling third-party plugins. If any modifications have been made in the child theme, they should also be disabled.

    Best regards,
    8Theme Team

    Hello,

    We have noticed that Google reCAPTCHA has already been installed on the registration form of your account page: https://prnt.sc/wPEPNb-ZyGdG.

    Could you please confirm whether you are still experiencing spam registrations?

    We also recommend running a full Wordfence scan to ensure that there are no malicious files on your website.

    Additionally, please disable the registration option at checkout: https://prnt.sc/1nawPX6ptSd2.

    Best regards,
    The 8Theme Team
