⏳ 🔗 Add Cloudflare Turnstile integration

[reedock]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for similar feature requests in both open and closed discussions and cannot find an existing request.
• I have verified that the feature is still missing from the latest stable versions of Elementor or Elementor Pro.

What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe..

There is currently no way to add Cloudflare Turnstile to Elementor forms without the need of an extra plugin. Only reCAPTCHA is being offered.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Add Cloudflare Turnstile in the Settings, Integration tab.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

reCAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA V3 aren't as good as Cloudflare Turnstile in my humble opinion.

Additional context

Other plugins specialized in "forms" like WPforms etc. integrated Cloudflare turnstile already.

Agreement

• I agree that my request may be closed without action if it doesn't meet all the requirements.

[reedock]

Hope this can be added like WPForms did so it can be integrated easily to Elementor forms.

This already exists in https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-cloudflare-turnstile/ right..? and duplicate of https://github.com/orgs/elementor/discussions/27293

"There is currently no way to add Cloudflare Turnstile to Elementor forms without the need of an extra plugin. Only reCAPTCHA is being offered."

And for the duplicate, my post was made on April 9 and https://github.com/orgs/elementor/discussions/27293 was created May 10.

integration but extra plugin

[reedock]

This feature request is clear. Integrate Cloudflare Turnstile directly to Elementor settings so there is no need for a plugin.

[moonbeetle]

At this moment (Dec 4th 2024), the Simple Cloudflare Turnstile throws a JS error Can't find variable: turnstile on websites with Elementor. So an integration with Cloudflare Turnstile without the need for a plugin would make it a more reliable solution. Also beneficial for Elementor.

[jiimmyy1]

Very necessary to have this in the settings of Elementor without installing a plugin. Turnstile is 100000 times better. Please, is very important!
Thanks in advance

[DavePodosyan]

I built a custom integration to add Cloudflare Turnstile support to Elementor Forms, following the same pattern Elementor uses for reCAPTCHA. To use it, you just need to include it in your theme's function.php file.

This will become more important this year as Google are moving all keys to cloud projects (Billing) by the end of the year and lots of users are going to want an alternative.

hcaptcha is another option that could be added.

[ghost]

I need this on over 50 websites!

[freshinkcooperative]

Google will start charging for ReCaptcha at the end of 2025, it would be very important for a lot of people to get this before then.

[reedock]

reCAPTCHA Essentials is only free up to 10,000 assessments per month.

That might sound like a lot but good luck if you have many visitors and bots monthly...

Thanks @DavePodosyan for the starter implementation. Note that your implementation uses implicit mode and does not work for forms that are contained in popups. The implicit initialization will execute, the cf-turnstile is not found, which leads to [Cloudflare Turnstile] Error: 300030 and Turnstile Widget seem to have hung. I'm not complaining @DavePodosyan! I just wanted to share more implementation information that can solve this.

The solution means switching the cloudflare turnstile to explicit, and using a js MutationObserver to watch for forms that pop in. But, I just discovered that while I got this to work, opening then closing, then opening again failed to re-init the turnstile.

Then I found a related issue for a different modal/popup:
https://community.cloudflare.com/t/turnstile-not-working-inside-fancybox-modal/562481

Essentially, track state of initilization on the turnstile field element itself as an attribute, and leave MutationObservers connected for the pop/close/pop scenario to re-init.

We have our own custom plugin (not commercial), so my implementation has been very much customized, but I'd be happy to share code if that's of interest...it could be cleaned up.

So, a universal implementation:

• needs to use turnstile explicit mode
• needs to reconnect MutationObservers to track multiple potential popup forms (as well as pop/close/pop scenario). This should reconnect via the render(callback) in case user interaction occurs
• needs to track init/rendered state on the html element (pop/close/pop scenario)
• needs to track init/rendered id's on page state (memory) so that before re-render, a turnstile.remove() is executed

I hope this info is useful to others that might be trying and encountering [Cloudflare Turnstile] Error: 300030 and Turnstile Widget seem to have hung

[DavePodosyan]

Thank you so much @rosskevin for your detailed explanation of the issue my solution was facing. I hadn’t tested it with popups, so I wasn’t even aware this could break things like that.

I’ve now updated the gist to use explicit Turnstile rendering, and it’s still a single-file solution. Please have a look, would love to hear if it works as expected now.

The lack of Turnstile support has caused me to stop using Elementor forms altogether. There are too many other options that support Turnstile and hCaptcha.

A lightweight plugin that adds native support for hCaptcha and Cloudflare Turnstile

[reedock]

Thank you for this but I hope you don't continue promoting your plugin here as my request was to avoid using AN EXTRA plugin.

[DavePodosyan]

@reedock, Totally get it, native support in Elementor would be ideal.

I’m not trying to promote anything here, just leaving a stopgap for folks blocked today. The add-on is minimalist: it registers the field types, enqueues the provider scripts, and validates tokens on submit. No settings beyond site/secret keys, no extra features, no telemetry.

I would have submitted this as a PR directly, but unfortunately Elementor Pro is not a public repo.

[reedock]

Yet instead of just replying to the comment, you posted another fresh one and listed all the good things your plugin does.

It gives off an “I’m not trying to get you to eat this cake since I know you don’t like them, but it’s fresh out of the oven, packed with chocolate, and you can have it for free” kind of vibe...

Thanks for not hijacking this feature request to promote your plugin even if he does wonder.

[DavePodosyan]

The details were to clarify that it’s a minimal workaround, not a bloated add-on, and to explain why it can’t be submitted as a PR.
If you or others don’t want a stopgap, that’s perfectly fine, but implying I’m trying to sneak in promotion here is a misread. I’m here contributing to the discussion and offering an immediate path for those who need it now. Thanks

[reedock]

Thank you for your contribution 👍

[DavePodosyan]

Appreciate it 👍 Hopefully Elementor makes it native soon so we don't have to eat these fresh-out-of-the-oven cakes anymore.

[caleb-bright]

I would love to see this in v4.

[MorrowShore]

any news on this?

[marowi85]

+1 would be a nice addition

[gallnomad]

I would also like to see this in Elementor without having to use a plugin.

This is an important intergration. +1

[R-Adrian]

+1, Cloudflare Turnstile (free) is needed as a replacement for reCAPTCHA (free) because Google is forcing all current users of reCaptcha classic to migrate to the new reCaptcha on Google Cloud by the end of 2025, and that is only free for only 10.000 visits - good luck with that when you have a ton of AI bots crawling your site.

if you have seen any reCaptcha rendered in the past week, you probably noticed that the reCaptcha button has a new text overlay that announces the change of terms of service and this link for "Take action": https://google.com/recaptcha/admin/migrate

https://cloud.google.com/recaptcha/docs/migration-overview

quote from that Google overview reference:
Migration timeline

All reCAPTCHA Classic customers must migrate or will be migrated to Google Cloud by the end of 2025. The process involves the following phases.

Q3 2024: New Classic keys are no longer allowed.
Q1 2025: The first notification that informs customers to migrate using the self-migration tool is sent.
Q3 2025: A follow-up notification is sent to customers that haven't yet migrated from Classic, which links directly to the migration tool in the Google Cloud console.

Q4 2025: Customers are automatically migrated from Classic to the Enterprise version.
Q4 2025: All Classic keys are rejected, with API access locked for keys without a Google Cloud project.

[MorrowShore]

Very good point.

[joaopedrofrech]

+1 for this request. Cloudflare Turnstile is necessary.

[deepwaterpixel]

I have removed all of my comments.

[MorrowShore]

What's the usual turn around of popular feature requests?

[SteinBC]

Wondering this too

[reedock]

Would be great to have someone from Elementor team to show up and officially say if they will implement it or no at this point. I rather have someone to lock this topic and say no than hoping for more years like Font Awesome...

[jiimmyy1]

Hope the staff answers

Wow, 1.5 years later still no turnstile while the entire industry is using this as a standard.

Shame on you Elementor

[teoeugene]

It's typical of Elementor. Highly requested features in the past were opened for 4-6 years. And with V4 high in their priority, this will probably be in the backlog for a long time.
