Description

Hi, I’m having trouble when attempting to create an account on : https://www.yelp.com/login. Even when attempting to connect with Facebook/Google+, it doesn’t work for me. I get each time the following messages:

- "Are you a human? Please complete the bot challenge below." //(but the bot challenge is not visible) Or, "Oops, Yelp is overworked right now //(when validating the new account form)".

This problem persists for me since a month.

Please can anyone help me ?

Thank you.

I tried using VPN i.e. change my IP to CANADA and now its all setup try changing the IP using VPN it may worked !!!

Use a VPN. Change the location to America. Now it is working for me.

Unfortunately, we currently do not allow users with APNIC or AFRINIC IP addresses to sign up for an account. We will update the Fusion documentation to reflect this restriction.

Cannot sign up with gmail too(

still have this problem until now :<

I am also facing the same issue while trying to sign up of a new account. It always returning with a message Oops, Yelp is overworked right now.

@Moh-BOB this is an issue with signing up for a yelp.com account rather than specifically a Yelp Fusion developer account (which you will be able to do at https://www.yelp.com/developers/v3/manage_app once your Yelp.com user account is created and verified).

From https://www.yelp-support.com/article/How-do-I-sign-up-for-Yelp?l=en_US

If you don't receive a confirmation message or run into other trouble with your account, please contact our Support team.

Contacting our support team about the issue you’re experiencing with creating a Yelp.com account is your best bet here, they’re equipped to respond to account creation questions.

Hi @Moh-BOB thanks for the report. I’ve filed a ticket internally to look into this.

Hi All, I was facing the same issue. Only solution I found is, In opera, Enable VPN and then you can able to SignIn/ Signup [To enable VPN in Opera:

Go to your Settings (Alt+P). Select Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Features. Under VPN, toggle on Enable VPN.](https://www.opera.com/features/free-vpn)

Thank you everyone for raising this issue. We are looking into it.
