Yes - in webtrees 2.x

Every request has a different IP?
A large number of IPs?
A small number of IPs?

Did you investigate any of them? If they all belong to the same server company/network (e.g. Hetzner), then you can block this entire network. (But only in webtrees 2.x)

Can you please tell me if there is a way to take the website offline but still have access to view changes as I progressively make changes to it and upgrade to v2

That might be the only way to deny the responsible hackers access to the registration page.

Thank you muchly.

PS - with the forum text controls, is there a way to indent text?

Do you have many genuine users who want to register?

If no, then you can disable registrations in the control panel.
