This guide will help you set up and use the Cloudflare Turnstile plugin. This keeps your website safe without making it hard for your visitors

Default WordPress Forms

These settings determine where you want to use Cloudflare

Enable toggle activates the following settings:

Get your keys from the Cloudflare Dashboard. You have to log in to have these keys

These settings control how the Turnstile check looks and works on your site.

Theme: You can choose between “Light” and “Dark” themes. Pick the one that matches your website’s look.
Language: You can let the plugin automatically detect the language, or you can choose a specific language for the Turnstile check.
Disable Submit Button: This option can stop people from submitting a form until they pass the security check. It’s usually a good idea to leave this “Enable.”

These are for more experienced users, but you can still use them

Widget Size: Choose the size of the security check.
Appearance Mode: Choose when the security check appears. “Always” means it will always be there.
Defer Scripts: This can make your website load faster. It’s usually best to leave this “Enable.”
Custom Error Message: If someone fails the security check, you can show them a special message. The default is “Please verify that you are human.”
Extra Failure Message: Add another message if the check fails. It’s usually best to leave this “Disable.”

This lets certain people skip the security check.

Logged In Users: If you “Enable” this, people who are logged into your website won’t see the security check.
IP Addresses: You can add IP addresses here. If you add an IP address, anyone using that address won’t see the security check.
User Agents: You can add “User Agents” here. This is like a browser’s name. If you add a User Agent, anyone using that browser won’t see the check.
