Bot Protection

Description

Helps to protect website with Google reCAPTCHA v3 or Cloudflare Turnstile. This plugin provides Login and Lost Password forms protection by default, but it's possible to add protection to any form by following this documentation.

Requirements

• PHP 7.4+
• WordPress 6.2+ (you can try with older versions, but it's not tested)

Features

• Protects Login and Lost Password forms by default.
• Supports Google reCAPTCHA v3 and Cloudflare Turnstile.
• Allows IP addresses to bypass verification.
• Sends verification email to user.
• Allows to customize verification email subject, message body and link.
• Allows to customize verification code length.
• Allows to add protection to custom form.

Screenshots

Install

• Preferable way is to use Composer:

  composer require wp-digital/wp-recaptcha
  

  By default, it will be installed as Must Use Plugin. But it's possible to control with extra.installer-paths in composer.json.

• Alternate way is to clone this repo to wp-content/mu-plugins/ or wp-content/plugins/:

  cd wp-content/plugins/
  git clone git@github.com:wp-digital/wp-recaptcha.git
  cd wp-recaptcha/
  composer install
  

If plugin was installed as regular plugin then activate Bot Protection from Plugins page or WP-CLI: wp plugin activate wp-recaptcha.

Usage

Add required constants (usually to wp-config.php):

define( 'WPD_RECAPTCHA_KEY', '' );
define( 'WPD_RECAPTCHA_SECRET', '' );

or just:

define( 'RECAPTCHA_KEY', '' );
define( 'RECAPTCHA_SECRET', '' );

Depending on constants, plugin will use Google reCAPTCHA v3 or Cloudflare Turnstile. If both constants are empty then plugin will be disabled.

Cloudflare Turnstile is detecting based on WPD_RECAPTCHA_KEY or RECAPTCHA_KEY constant, by using regex: ^\dx.

Allow IP addresses to bypass verification

There are two ways to allow IP addresses to bypass verification:

1. Add IP addresses to WPD_RECAPTCHA_ALLOWED_IPS constant:

   define( 'WPD_RECAPTCHA_ALLOWED_IPS', '' ); // comma separated list of IP addresses
   

2. Add IP in admin area: Settings -> Bot Protection -> Allowed IPs, one IP per line (see screenshots).

Customization

Verification

Change verification email subject:

/**
 * @param string  $subject
 * @param string  $code
 * @param WP_User $user
 *
 * @return string
 */
add_filter( 'wpd_recaptcha_verification_email_subject', function ( string $subject, string $code, WP_User $user ): string {
	return 'New subject';
}, 10, 3 );

Change verification email message body:

/**
 * @param string  $message
 * @param string  $code
 * @param WP_User $user
 *
 * @return string
 */
add_filter( 'wpd_recaptcha_verification_email_message', function ( string $message, string $code, WP_User $user ): string {
	return 'New message';
}, 10, 3 );

Modify verification link:

/**
 * @param string  $link
 * @param string  $code
 * @param WP_User $user
 *
 * @return string
 */
add_filter( 'wpd_recaptcha_verification_link', function ( string $link, string $code, WP_User $user ): string {
	return 'https://example.com/verify/' . $code;
}, 10, 3 );

Change verification code length:

/**
 * @param int $length
 *
 * @return int
 */
add_filter( 'wpd_recaptcha_verification_code_length', function ( int $length ): int {
	return 10;
} );

   <?php
  
   use WPD\Forms\FormInterface;
  
   class CustomForm implements FormInterface {
   	// @TODO: implement methods
   }

    *
    * @return array
    */
   add_filter( 'wpd_recaptcha_forms', function ( array $forms ): array {
   	$forms[] = new CustomForm();
  
   	return $forms;
   } );
