# Cannot disable registration

 * Hi there,
    It looks like it is not possible to disable registration in Ultimate
   Member plugin version 2.4.2, even though wp-admin>Settings>General>”Anyone can
   register” is unchecked. Pointing to the page containing the shortcode for the
   registration form, the form is shown and registration takes place regardless.
 * The point is that I need to temporarily disable site registration and would like
   to keep the shortcode in place (no page modification). Hiding the shortcode for
   registration is a partial solution since the system is still exposed to potential
   risk of registration attack.
 * Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best regards.

 * You can make the UM Registration Page Password Protected or Private
    in WP All
   Pages -> Quick Edit.

 * Thank you for response.
    This does not sound like a solution. The point is that
   even disabling ”Anyone can register” the registration form appear on the page.
   having a password protected page does not solve the issue, neither semantically,
   nor technically, for a number of reasons.

 * Note that unchecking WP Admin Settings -> General -> Membership “Anyone can register”
   disables only registration from wp-login.php
