Looking for a WordPress form plugin that supports Cloudflare Turnstile? You’re in the right place.

If you’re tired of spam and even more tired of making real people solve puzzles, Cloudflare Turnstile is a modern, privacy‑friendly alternative to traditional CAPTCHA. It keeps bots out while keeping friction low—and it’s free. Even better: Ninja Forms includes native Cloudflare Turnstile support in core, so you can add it to your WordPress forms in just a few clicks.

In this post, you’ll get the big‑picture view of what Turnstile is and how easy it is to enable it on any Ninja Forms; no code, no fuss. If you want the detailed, step‑by‑step walkthrough, our documentation has you covered.

How to enable Cloudflare Turnstile in Ninja Forms

Here’s the flow at a glance. If you want a detailed step by step, check out our Ninja Forms Cloudflare Turnstile documentation.

1. Create your free Cloudflare Turnstile widget & keys

Log in (or sign up) at Cloudflare, create a Turnstile widget for your domain, and choose a widget mode. Cloudflare offers three modes: Managed, Non‑interactive, and Invisible. You can decide how visible (or invisible) the check should be for users. Copy your Site Key and Secret Key when they’re generated.

Quick note on modes:
• Managed lets Cloudflare decide whether to verify silently or show a minimal challenge only when needed.
• Non‑interactive shows a widget but doesn’t require user action.
• Invisible runs entirely in the background.

Choose what fits your UX best; you can switch it up anytime in your Cloudflare dashboard. Your widget mode applies across all forms; Cloudflare doesn’t support mixing modes. Egon’s advice holds here: don’t cross the streams.

2. Connect Turnstile to Ninja Forms

In your WordPress admin, go to Ninja Forms > Settings > Cloudflare Turnstile and paste in your Site and Secret keys. Save. (If you don’t have keys yet, there’s a handy link in that settings screen to grab them from Cloudflare.)

Don’t run Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA on the same form. Pick one per form. (Turnstile is fine alongside tools like Akismet.)

3. Add Turnstile to any form

Open a form in the Ninja Forms builder, click Add New Field, and drop in the Cloudflare Turnstile field (you’ll find it under Miscellaneous Fields). Publish your form and you’re done; Turnstile is now protecting that form. Repeat on any other forms you want to protect.

Your WordPress forms now have smarter, friendlier spam protection

With Cloudflare Turnstile enabled in Ninja Forms, you get a faster, friendlier experience for real people and a tougher gate for bots. Add the Turnstile field to any form you want protected, publish, and move on with your day. For screenshots and step‑by‑step details, check our Cloudflare Turnstile documentation. Then, if you haven’t already, download the free Ninja Forms plugin and start building forms that convert humans, not bots!
