Uh oh. I think I've got a problem.
Today, out of nowhere, I got two notices that someone had registered on the site I'm building. Here's the info it gave me...

Am I just being paranoid or is something nasty afoot? My site has been loading at the speed of molasses for the last week or so too. I put a ticket in for that just a few minutes ago. The site isn't even finished yet and I've done nothing to drive any traffic that way.
Why all of the sudden are peeps registering on my site and how do ya register on a site anyway? Sensors are reading rodentia!

This happened to me. Let's see if I remember how to fix it...
Go into your Wordpress dashboard, then go to:
Users --> All Users
You can delete those registrations there.
Then go to Settings --> General
And where it says "New User Default Role" make sure that says subscriber.
You can also uncheck "Anyone can register".
Hm, I hope i"m not missing a step. There's training on this somewhere on WA, but I couldn't find it. I'll keep looking!
