How to stop registration form from allowing urls
Hi Ryan, disregard my email asking about my login credentials as I figured it out. I was wondering if there was a way to stop all urls from being added to the login page. I am getting some humans spamming the site by registering with urls in every field. I am still using Family Connections 3.6.2 as my server isn't upgraded to php 7 yet.

I'm not sure I understand what the problem is.
If it is humans and not a robot, I don't think there is anything that can be done.
If it is some spam robot, you could add some type of google captcha to prevent them.

Hi Ryan, yes it is human. But if they can't leave a link in the form, the form isn't processed and they usually go away. Wordpress handles this with plugins.
I don't have any php skills so I was hoping that someone in this discussion group may have a solution.
I found this website:
Example
But I am not sure where to place the regex code inside the family cms registration form file to see if it works or not.
For the record: captchas don't work anymore and are now easily broken by bots. But this isn't a bot it is definitely human.

You would want to add the code to register.php in the displaySubmit function.
