Wordpress node with Cloudflare

Alex1984 · June 9, 2025, 5:49am

I’m having an issue with trying to connect to my wordpress site with the Wordpress Node.
I did everything as described in the guide and still get Forbidden status.

My site is proxied by Cloudflare, so I went an disabled the Bot Protection and viola, connection was successful.
Since then, I’m trying to configure Cloudflare rules to allow traffic from n8n Cloud (IP list) without any luck.
Anyone else had this issue and can shed some light on how to resolve this?

Information on your n8n setup

n8n version: 1.95.3

Hey @Alex1984

How are you setting? is WP added as an application in zero trust or, just domain added proxied through CF and to hosting provider?

Can you see IP which is getting block in firewall? maybe just add the one you see in CF logs.

Also I assume you used the IP range from the N8N docs website?

Hi @King_Samuel_David ,

The domain added proxied through CF and to hosting provider.

Here’s the event, which seems to be blocked by the bot fight mechanism.
And yes, you assume correctly. I’ve added the list of public IPs from the doc and also added this specific IP, but still nothing
