In reply to: [WangGuard] The account confirmation do not worHi @rebeccaolsen, glad it worked for you. I ended up having more problems with my website login that seemed to be linked to WangGuard, so uninstalled it and I won’t be touching it again unfortunately 🙁 It sounds like a great idea and I would use it if the support were better!
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the tips. I wanted to update you on WangGuard: I installed it but was unable to activate my account. I tried about 6-7 times, contacted support twice, and nothing. Then I got locked out of my site – a problem that my hosting confirmed was WangGaurd related.
It seems that the plugin is no longer actively supported and a quick look online showed me that others are experiencing this same problem (both in terms of activation problems, lack of answers, and being locked out of their sites).
Needless to say, WangGuard is now uninstalled and I won’t be recommending it to anyone. Might have been great once upon a time, but it cost me a lot of time and frustration.

In reply to: [WangGuard] Can’t activate accountI have this problem too – have requested my API key about 6-7 times now and I’m stuck in the loop saying I need to activate my account. The URL doesn’t work, even when I substitute the ‘%40’ for the ‘@’ as per @consultant1027.
Anyone else in this position?

We have this problem too.
I just found this link (https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/how-to-defeat-wordpress-spam-users-identify-delete-and-prevent-future-registrations) and found a plugin called SplogHunter, which looks like it can identify existing spammers and prevent future registrations through the form. Haven’t yet seen if it works, but wanted to pass it on!
