hundreds of spam users…
-
I have had my bbpress forums “hidden” meaning that I disabled the menu linking to my forums, so that nobody can see them. However I just discovered that I have over 500 “users” all of which are spam.
How do I stop this from happening? My forums are not active right now but I haven’t been able to figure out how to “turn them off”.
Another question is, how do I delete all these spam users? The control panel only seems to allow me to delete them one at a time…? This will take days for me to delete them.

There’s a nice Mass Delete Users plugin that lets you batch delete members:

I’ve used it before, and it’s great!
Just make sure to backup your data first, just to be on the safe side.
I think there are also plugins you can install to disable registration. Let me know if you are interested, and I can try to track one down!
