V5.1.9 Elgg. Ill wait to upgrade to V6. Maybe it fix it

Thank You

Could you maybe report this here https://github.com/Elgg/Elgg/issues

Or give us steps  to reproduce so we can try to fix it. Please make sure to mention any plugin that are active that could influence the outcome of the action.

If you have the Developers plugin enabled you can go to Admin -> Develop -> Inspect -> Actions Search for 'thewire/add' and if that is not '/mod/thewire/actions/add' then a plugin is taking over the action. Try disabling the plugin and try again. If there is no issue, then it's not a core issue and you should contact the plugin developer.

You are NOT using the latest version of Elgg 5.1 if you are on Elgg 5.1.9.

The bug you have has mostly likely been fixed in Elgg 5.1.10:

thewire: correctly handle string length for multi-byte characters

Now there's already Elgg 5.1.11 available. Please upgrade, test and only report a bug if you still have the problem also with Elgg 5.1.11.

Spam Login Filter Settings:

• Use Stopforumspam.com? - Yes
• Stopforumspam API key - Enter the key obtained
  
• Country Blacklist - List the Country code you want to block (You can use this list for the code)
• Use mail domain blacklist? - Yes (If you are seeing that user from a specific domain are spamming like 10 min email type of domains)
• Blacklisted mail domains - Enter the domain names here (Note: list one per line)
• IP addresses Blacklist - List the page you want to block. (Example: register. In this case the spammer would be able to browse the site but won't be able to register)

You can also try this - https://github.com/rohit1290/registration_randomizer. This will generate a unique link for registration valid for few min and then expires. If someone is using bot to register on your site then it will stop it.

I blocked all of Ip and E-mails for now.
Thank You

Captcha's aren't part of the Elgg core. There are however plugins which add this feature

• https://elgg.org/plugins/236859
• https://elgg.org/plugins/914006

These plugins are quit old and need to be updated for Elgg 6.x, you can ask the developers if they want to update their plugins or develop your own.
