    Hi,

    Since uploading the GD plugin and setting it up – I’ve started to get loads of random users create accounts. I assume they’re spam because the email addresses are nonsense.

    Is there a security feature to prevent this? Or is it something else I need to install in the back end?

    Thanks,

    Install the reCAPTCHA addon, that should keep at least the robots at bay.

    You can also consider UsersWP so that users need to verify their email address before their account becomes active: https://userswp.io/

    Thanks

    Please forgive my terrible lack of ability, but I have no idea where to even begin to do this (see attached)

    You don’t need any of that, where did you read that?

    1. Install the GD addon like any other premium plugin:
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/installing-addons/

    2. All you need to do is get your keys from google and paste the keys into the fields:

    Oh! When I went to use the registration form it told me to get the keys. So I did, and then it said that underneath as step 1 etc etc

    That is if you are implementing it yourself, but our plugin does that, you just need the keys form that screen 🙂
