Manage WP CAPTCHA (WebUI Method)
- Open cPFence WebUI and select the desired server.
- Go to Tools & Utilities ➜ WP-AutoShield Bulk Tools.
- Choose Enable WP CAPTCHA to add the math CAPTCHA to login, registration, and lost password screens, or Disable WP CAPTCHA to remove it.
- Confirm the execution; cPFence updates the MU plugin settings across every WordPress site (or just the ones selected via the site selector).
- Monitor the log for any site that already has a conflicting CAPTCHA plugin installed.
CAPTCHA is a quick win for stopping automated wp-login abuse without relying on third-party plugins.
Tip: Ensure autoshield_wp_captcha is set to ‘Off’ in the Settings page (if it’s currently on), or WP-AutoShield will automatically re-enable it during the next 6:10 AM run.
Command Line (CLI) Method
- SSH into the server.
- Enable the CAPTCHA prompts:
cpfence --bulk-enable-wp-captcha - Disable them when necessary:
cpfence --bulk-disable-wp-captcha
Coordinate this with LiteSpeed login cache settings so the CAPTCHA always appears when expected.
