lockJoomla 3 front end user registration is allowed by default.

A lot of Joomla sites don't use this feature and it should be disabled if not required.

This tutorial will show you how to entirely disable the possiblility of someone (or a bot) from registering on your site (you can still add users manually in the back end).

 

The registration form is available at

index.php?option=com_users&view=registration

even if there is no link to it on your site.

This can lead to unwanted spam signups.

 

To disable User Registration in Joomla 3 Administrator go to:

Users -> User Manager -> Options

Set "Allow User Registration" to No.
