Hi,

I have tried unsuccessfully to turn off open-registration on my site. I am wondering if it is anything I've done wrong? I have gone to General Options>OPen Registration and left it as "No (do not allow open registration)."
However when I go to the login page, I still see the option for registration.

What's worst, the pages which are limited to Level 1 Paid-Members are visible by members who signed up using open registration.

I've spent the whole day trying to figure it out. Would appreciate any help!
Thanks so much!

Cheers
J

Hi there. Thanks for reporting your experience.

It sounds to me like you were logged-in as an Administrator when you tested the Registration link? If so, please be sure to logout of your site before testing. The Registration Form ( and links to the Registration Form ) are ALWAYS available to Administrators, regardless of your configuration. It's not until you are logged out that you begin to see how things are going to function in the public.

Hi Jason
A bunch of wierd-looking gmails showed up as free subscribers over the past couple days. I've had open registrion OFF. I did buy idevaffiate through your link and have them install it Friday. Also publicized my site more.
Wondering if I got hacked and how I can put a stop to it.
UPDATE: Mine is not exactly a s2member issue. It looks like spammers are subscribing via my bbpress forum. Need to figure out how to put a stop to that.
Thanks!
