New Users, anyone can register?

I have blogged about this before, but lately I see repeatedly questions about this issue. I guess it's a default setting on the WP dashboard.

You don't want new users in your back office, unless you run a membership website.

How to get rid of these new users?

  • Go to your WP dashboard
  • General setting
  • Uncheck the box before anyone can register
  • Delete the new user
  • Reset your password

Another tip

When you upload an image which is bigger than the screen, it happens that you can not scroll down to save and insert the image.

  • Click a few times on ctrl and -
  • and the button will appear


  • Click a few times on ctrl and + to go back to 100% again.

Or Install WP hide login so your login would not be /wp-admin. I prevented brute attacks that way

Can you write a training about this?

Great tip, thanks

Great tip and reminder, Loes! I need to check mine again!

When it is unchecked, it stays unchecked, I have the idea it's a default setting for new members, there where so many questions about this

That's good to know, Loes...many thanks for this post.

My pleasure James:)
