- Web-Engine Sentry for WordPress

The easy-to-use WordPress plugin that provides quick and simple integration to our privacy-focused service to enhance the security of your site. The plugin works by validating that the user is human.


Overview

The easy-to-use WordPress plugin that gives you quick and simple integration with Sentry, our privacy-focused service for keeping bots out of your site. The plugin works by validating that the user is human before they can log in, comment or submit a form.

Out of the box it protects logins and comments. As WordPress has no native form support, we have prioritised compatibility with the most popular form plugins; if yours isn't supported yet, let us know and we'll do our best to add it to the roadmap.

Prefer to integrate directly? See the Sentry API, or the plugin for Redmine. Read the Sentry case study to see what the service offers.

Key features

  • Protects logins, comments and supported form plugins from the plugin settings page
  • Fine-grained control over which user roles see a challenge and who can bypass it
  • Bypass support for Single Sign On and control-panel users
  • Demonstration mode on local domains and in WordPress Playground, no account needed
  • Documentation and account management built into the dashboard

Privacy

Data privacy is of utmost importance to us. We will never harvest user data for ad retargeting or use your visitors' actions to train an AI.

Get started

  1. Download the plugin from WordPress.org, install and activate it.
  2. Open Settings > Sentry and register using the dialog prompts; your keys are set up automatically.
  3. Choose which areas to protect and which roles can bypass the challenge.

Full installation screenshots and configuration options are in the Sentry WordPress documentation.
