 * Hi
    Is there a way to capture the IP of the person registering? I looked in the
   available fields, and there isn’t anything there. We are having a lot of issues
   with fake users registering and want to see if there is an IP pattern. Even if
   we do a hidden field, and programmatically grab their IP
 * Has anyone had to do that?

 * Hi,
 * You can receive user IP Address in admin notification email. Go to PR menu > 
   Notifications > Admin Notification. Add **User IP** from Replacement key dropdown
   into your email template. See screenshot: [https://prnt.sc/viebud](https://prnt.sc/viebud)
 * Thanks

 * Thank you
    Any way to save that as a hidden field with their user details?

 * Hi,
 * This is not available right now as an option. But by using PR registration hook‘
   pie_register_after_register_validate’, you can programmatically change the value
   of hidden fields.
 * Thanks
