How does WP Cloudflare Guard different from Cloudflare’s official plugin?

At the time of writing, Cloudflare’s official plugin doesn’t block any IP for WordPress when other plugins discover dangerous activities. Here comes WPCFG! WPCFG focus on integrating other plugins with Cloudflare.

Compatibility

• Works with Cloudflare’s official plugin
• Works with Sunny (Purging CloudFlare caches for WordPress)

Things You Need to Know

• You need PHP 7.0 or later
• You need WordPress 4.7 or later
• You need a Cloudflare account (free plan is okay)
• This plugin was not built by Cloudflare, Inc
