What it does
Membership sites attract automated signups, fake accounts and spam submissions. Those bogus entries clutter your member list and can get in the way of real people. This add-on places a short math question on your MemberPress forms as a human check. Real visitors answer something like a basic sum, while scripts that fill in forms automatically have a harder time getting through. It replaces the distorted text and image puzzles many people find tedious.
The plugin works with MemberPress registration, login and password reset forms, plus other custom forms, and you can add the challenges without writing code. Settings let you adjust how hard the math problems are, so you can choose easier questions for a general audience or tougher ones if spam is a bigger issue. The challenges display on desktop and mobile screens, which suits membership sites, online course platforms and paid content communities.
Best for
- MemberPress membership sites dealing with spam registrations
- Online course platforms built on MemberPress
- Paid content communities wanting simple human verification
