## Descrição

[💬 Ask Question](https://github.com/webguyio/dam-spam/issues) | [📧 Email Me](https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/stop-spammer-registrations-plugin/webguywork@gmail.com?output_format=md)

Stop Spammers is now [Dam Spam](https://wordpress.org/plugins/dam-spam/). Switching
is easy. All of your settings migrate over automatically in the background.

Stop Spammers Classic is legacy code that will receive security patches only moving
forward.

🥪 [Buy me a sandwich](https://github.com/sponsors/webguyio) to help preserve Stop
Spammers Classic or further project development in Dam Spam if you rely on either
of them.

## Instalação

Go to _Plugins > Add New_ from your WP admin menu, search for _Stop Spammers_, install,
and activate.

OR

 1. Download the plugin and unzip it.
 2. Upload the plugin folder to your wp-content/**plugins** folder.
 3. Activate the plugin from the plugins page in the admin.

## Perguntas frequentes

### I’m locked out of my admin!

You’ll need to access your site files (most likely via FTP), navigate to _/wp-content/
plugins_, and rename the _/stop-spammer-registrations-plugin_ folder by adding a“
1” to the beginning. Once you’re back in your admin, remove the “1” from the folder
name and make sure to add yourself to the Allow List.

### Can I use Stop Spammers with Cloudflare?

Yes. But, you may need to [restore visitor IPs](https://developers.cloudflare.com/support/troubleshooting/restoring-visitor-ips/restoring-original-visitor-ips/).

### Can I use Stop Spammers with Wordfence (and other spam and security plugins)?

Yes. The two can compliment each other. However, if you have only a small amount
of hosting resources (mainly memory) or aren’t even allowing registration on your
website, using both might be overkill.

### Can I use Stop Spammers with WooCommerce (and other ecommerce plugins)?

Yes. But, in some configurations, you may need to go to _Stop Spammers > Protection
Options > Toggle on the option for “Only Use the Plugin for Standard WordPress Forms”
> Save_ if you’re running into any issues.

### Can I use Stop Spammers with Akismet?

Yes. Stop Spammers can even check Akismet for an extra layer of protection.

### Can I use Stop Spammers with Jetpack?

Yes and no. You can use all Jetpack features except for Jetpack Protect, as it conflicts
with Stop Spammers.

### Why is 2FA failing?

Under _Protection Options_, toggle off the “Check Credentials on All Login Attempts”
option and try again.

### Is Stop Spammers GDPR-compliant?

Yes. [Under most circumstances](https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/28603/how-to-satisfy-gdprs-consent-requirement-for-ip-logging).
Stop Spammers itself does not attempt to collect any PII, and collects only the 
minimum data needed for anti-spam control. However, enabling third-party protections
introduces new data collection on external servers that could break GDPR. See the
next FAQ.

### What third-party services are used and what data is sent to them?

There are several optional services you may use that involve sending data to third
parties including: [Google reCAPTCHA](https://policies.google.com/privacy), [hCaptcha](https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy),
[2Captcha](https://2captcha.com/privacy-policy), [Spamhaus](https://www.spamhaus.org/privacy-notice/),
[Stop Forum Spam](https://www.stopforumspam.com/privacy), [Project Honeypot](https://www.projecthoneypot.org/privacy_policy.php),
and [BotScout](https://botscout.com/w3c/privacy.htm). You may wish to read each 
services’ privacy policy to see if you’re comfortable using them, but generally 
speaking, whenever someone for example tries to use a contact form on your website,
their IP address, name, and email may be sent to these services to check against
spam blocklists.

It worked well for a year, but after the .3 update, it didn't allow customers to
log in or register. They were automatically landing on the block list. Enabling 
reCAPTCHA v2 for forms led me to being locked out of my own website, since it didn't
show reCAPTCHA options on the front end to be solved. There's a bug. Permanently
deleting this plugin, hopefully they will resolve the issues

test using the email address.

I blocked few countries that I don't want my website to be accessed from however,
it failed miserably. All the blocked countries could access my website.Not useful.

Our website stopped working for everyone.By turning all plugins off and on one by
one we found the culprit.We use this free version plugin, it asks for money with
a big message on all pages, covering most of the window, impossible to close. If
you click "Close" it takes you to its page.We closed this message by clicking "Always
Hide" and, not immediately, found our site not working with:"This feature is temporarily
banned for security reasons. Please try again to log in." After deactivating this
plugin everything returned to normal. We do not have time to investigate. Please
know. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

I've tested many captcha plugins and services, but my site has many many spam registrations.
After installing this plugin, my spam registrations reduced to zero. Thanks to developers

### 󠀁[Stop SPAM did not work!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stop-spam-did-not-work/)󠁿

Stop SPAM did not work!  I mean I spent some time thinking that it might but I still
received spammers hitting my site.  The layout is great and simple to use which 
I liked but when something doesn’t work it just is of no use!  I finally went to
the top of the line blockers and had to install a database and upgrade my php data
base from 7.4 to 8.0.   Yea a lot more work to do but it works great and I mean 
the top of the line blocker works.  Look at the reviews for the best blocker and
try it too.  Lots more work to do but in the end, it works.   However this Stop 
SPAM needs more work to do as it has nice features but it does not work.
