Easily disable default WordPress registration page, remove register link and stop all spam registrations, without disabling the actual registration functionality. You may still want to accept user registration using membership or registration plugin.
This plugin works great with popular registration plugins, you can have the registration form on a separate page at the same time disable the default registration of WordPress and protect the spam account creation by bots.
