Hi,

You have to modify the theme code and unfortunately it’s not an easy task.
The easy solution would be to install a plugin which adds captcha for the default wordpress login area, the registration bots are targeting this area.
The theme popup registration/login feature was custom made and it shouldn’t be targeted by the registration bots.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi,

You can use a plugin for this: http://beginnersbook.com/2013/10/5-free-plugins-adding-captcha-wordpress-blog-comments/

The theme’s login widget use the WordPress registration system so if you want to use theme’s login widget you can implement the captcha plugin to it by using a shortcode or a similar method, like did here for the social login: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/where-to-put-this-code/ or you can try an anti-spam plugin.

Thanks for the message!
