Quote by marcg: I've commented out all the lines in the language file regarding new user registration and will replace this functionality with my own custom signup form. The problem is, every couple of days someone is finding a loophole through and is able to submit a new registration request. Is there a way to completely remove all ability for a new user to register?
We used to do this, became too much hassle.
In public_html/layout/YOUR_THEME/users/registrationform.thtml I removed everything between
Text Formatted Code
<form action="{site_url}/users.php" method="post"> </form>
and added a link to a static page that told users how to register.
HTH
Too many hands on my time.
