Enable the plugin and an options page will appear under the Wordpress Settings menu.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the settings page, enter your question (keep it short), answer (ideally very short) and a hint to display if the user gets it wrong. Save these and they'll be used for new registrations.<\/p>\n\n<p>I've been using this plugin for a few months, and it cut spam from dozens a day to none at all. Hope you find it useful.
