validation pattern: only one specific term

    We need a spam check, but reCaptcha is not possible due to German law.

    We thought about using a field where registering guys should enter a special number or phrase. Only if the phrase is correct, registration is passed.

    How can we realize that?

    Let’s say for example they have to enter “99” in that field?

    Hi, I’m sorry but that’s not possible without some complex customization (beyond support).

    In addition, a similar approach wouldn’t stop most spammers or bots, so it would be a waste of time.

    I would suggest looking into something like: https://cleantalk.org/

    Thanks,

    Then I do not understand the sense of these pattern.

    We already using Cleantalk. I am not sure if it works well with UsersWP.

    Cleantalk is fully compatible with UsersWP.

    If you wish to go down the text field route you can try this regex validation pattern as suggested by ChatGPT:

    ^(99)$

    Must be using text field (not number).

    Let me know if that works for you.

    Thanks
