<p>Registration Statistics is a WordPress plugin that adds a tool in the WordPress admin section that allows administrators to choose a date range and see graphs and tables showing the number of registrations (i.e. new users) that occurred on each day and the number of cumulative registrations on that day (the total number of users who had registered on or before that day).</p>
<p>The graphs and tables are interactive; you can sort the tables by date or by count, and you can mouse over the graph to see the count at that point.  You can also click on a point on a graph and choose to view a list of posts that were published on that day or during that month, which may allow you to see what posts might’ve caused a peak in registrations (and thus gauge what kinds of posts you can make in the future to spur on more registrations).</p>

<p><strong>My Private Site</strong> makes your WordPress site private so only logged-in users can see your content. With one click, you can restrict access to all posts and pages, automatically redirect visitors to the login screen, and keep your site visible only to people you trust.</p>
<p>Unlike full membership or subscription systems, My Private Site focuses on strong privacy without unnecessary complexity. It is ideal for family sites, schools, clubs, client previews, or development environments where you want to share content with a trusted audience without managing payments, profiles, or custom roles.</p>
<h3>Ideal Use Cases</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Family sites and school projects</strong>: Share personal updates, photos, or assignments only with family members, classmates, or teachers you choose.</li>
<li><strong>Development and staging sites</strong>: Safely show work-in-progress to clients or teammates without exposing unfinished content or letting it be indexed by search engines.</li>
<li><strong>Clubs, groups, and internal blogs</strong>: Create a private online space for members or staff without the overhead of a complex membership system.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Digital Fortress protection</h3>
<p>My Private Site helps protect the “front door” of your private site with built-in safeguards for login and user registration, including registration spam protection and optional reCAPTCHA support. It also includes AI Crawler Defense to discourage automated collection of your site’s content.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Make your entire WordPress site private with a single setting  </li>
<li>Redirect logged-out visitors automatically to the login page  </li>
<li>Choose where users land after login (requested page, home, dashboard, or custom URL)  </li>
<li>Support user self-registration on private sites when enabled  </li>
<li>Protect registration with built-in spam controls and optional reCAPTCHA  </li>
<li>Optionally block unauthenticated access to the WordPress REST API  </li>
<li>Simple, no-code setup using standard WordPress settings </li>
<li>Privacy shortcode lets you selectively show or hide content within a page or post.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Built-in Registration Spam Guard</h3>
<p>Fake registrations can quickly fill your user list and trigger a flood of notification emails. My Private Site includes <strong>Registration Spam Guard</strong> controls that help block automated signups before they become user accounts:<br />
* <strong>Honeypot field</strong>: Adds an invisible registration field that normal visitors do not fill in, but many bots do.<br />
* <strong>Gibberish username detection</strong>: Blocks long, randomly mixed usernames often generated by registration bots.<br />
* <strong>URL-like username detection</strong>: Blocks usernames that look like domains or URLs, including phishing-style hosted page addresses.<br />
* <strong>Crypto scam phrase detection</strong>: Blocks usernames that carry common bait phrases such as balance checks, transfer notices, or withdrawal prompts.<br />
* <strong>Excessive email dots</strong>: Blocks email addresses with unusually dotted local parts commonly used in bulk fake accounts.<br />
* <strong>Missing MX records</strong>: Blocks registrations when the email domain is not configured to receive mail.<br />
* <strong>Disposable email domains</strong>: Blocks common throwaway email services, including matching subdomains.<br />
* <strong>StopForumSpam lookup</strong>: Checks registrants against the StopForumSpam database.</p>
<p>Each Registration Spam Guard option can be enabled separately, so you can choose the level of protection that fits your site. Blocked attempts are logged in the System Log area for quick review.</p>
<h3>Built-in AI Crawler Defense</h3>
<p>The internet is rapidly changing, with AI crawlers and bots harvesting content without consent. My Private Site helps you defend your work with integrated <strong>AI Crawler Defense</strong> features:<br />
* <strong>NoAI and NoImageAI tags</strong>: Automatically add meta tags and headers that signal compliant AI systems not to use your text or images for training.<br />
* <strong>Block GPTBot</strong>: Add a robots.txt rule to prevent OpenAI’s crawler from accessing your site.<br />
* <strong>Really Simple Licensing (RSL)</strong>: Publish a machine-readable license that explicitly prohibits AI training on your content.</p>
<p>These protections are included free in the core plugin, easy to enable with a checkbox, and designed to safeguard your site without affecting normal visitors or search engines. You can use them even if you’re not using any other site privacy features.</p>
