This guide will help you to install the Fraud Blocker tracking code using our official WordPress plugin.

This is a fast and easy way to connect your WordPress site to Fraud Blocker and setup usually takes about five minutes. (Prefer not to use a plugin? See How to install Fraud Blocker’s tracking code with a WordPress Site for pasting the full tracking snippet in your theme)

Here's what you need to get started:

  1. A WordPress site (5.9 or newer)

  2. PHP 7.4 or newer on your server, and

  3. An active Fraud Blocker account.

Step 1: Get Tracking Code

First, find your Fraud Blocker tracking code in the dashboard, located here: https://app.fraudblocker.com/integrations#addTrackingTag

Once you find your tracking code, copy the sid value, which are the characters after sid= in the URL.

  • Example: if the snippet shows sid=AtbpIbx8zjP2xp1QAvebD, paste only AtbpIbx8zjP2xp10AvebD into the WordPress plugin. Do not paste the full <script> block.

Here's an example of what that code looks like:

Step 2: Configure plugin on WordPress site

Once you have your Domain ID, install and configure the plugin on your WordPress site:

  1. Log in to your WordPress site

  2. Go to Plugins > Add New

  3. Search for Fraud Blocker

  4. Install Fraud Blocker — Click Fraud Protection, then click Activate

You can also download the .zip file directly from our WordPress.org plugin page.

Once installed and activated, you will see a screen similar to this in your WordPress admin panel:

  1. In the left admin menu, click Fraud Blocker

  2. On the setup screen you will see these sections:

    1. Welcome to Fraud Blocker

    2. Tracking Tag Installation

    3. Resources

(Note: If you already have your Domain ID, click I already have my Domain ID - go to setup to jump to the tracking section)

  1. In Tracking Tag Installation, paste your Domain ID into Domain ID (sid)

  2. (Optional) Click Check Format to confirm the value uses allowed characters and length (6–64 characters; letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens)

  3. Click Save Tracking Tag

  4. After save, the status badge should show a green Domain ID Format Looks Valid when the format is correct

Note: Check Format only confirms the value uses the expected characters and length in your browser. It does not contact Fraud Blocker servers, and does not verify account ownership or that fraud detection is active.


Step 3: Confirm tag is placed on your site

  1. Open your site in a private/incognito window, or log out of WordPress

  2. View page source or open your browser Developer Tools > Network tab

  3. Confirm you see the script loads in the page head

Deactivating the plugin stops tracking. Uninstalling removes the plugin settings from your WordPress database. Uninstalling does not send data to Fraud Blocker servers.

Other methods to install your tracking tag:

  1. Install directly on your site: How to install Fraud Blocker’s tracking code with a WordPress Site?

  2. Install with Google Tag Manager: How to install Fraud Blocker’s tracking code with Google Tag Manager (GTM)?
