Cointacted – Social Terminal
Cointacted Social Terminal provides a responsive terminal interface for WordPress. The core plugin includes local commands, command discovery, help, transcript controls, appearance settings, and extension APIs for separately installed add-ons.
Free core functionality works locally. It does not require an account, a license key, or a recurring connection to Cointacted.
Core features
- Responsive terminal interface for public and authenticated experiences.
- Local command registry with built-in help and command discovery.
- Configurable appearance, welcome output, and transcript controls.
- Administrator security settings and optional Cloudflare Turnstile protection.
- Extension contracts for separately installed Cointacted add-ons.
- Site Health diagnostics for important terminal configuration.
Optional paid access
Separately installed Cointacted add-ons may offer paid features. An administrator can deliberately connect a Cointacted account or enter a license key from the Add-ons screen. The free terminal continues to work when no account or paid license is configured.
This WordPress.org package does not download, install, or update add-on ZIP files. Add-ons must be installed separately through normal WordPress plugin installation.
External services
Cointacted licensing and account connection
No request is sent to Cointacted for local Free terminal use. On a disconnected installation, background checks read the local catalog cache. If an administrator explicitly refreshes the available products in Add-ons, the plugin requests the public catalog from Cointacted and sends the WordPress environment type.
When an administrator deliberately connects a Cointacted account or submits a paid license key, the plugin contacts https://cointacted.com to request signed product access. Requests can include the site URL, a random installation identifier, the WordPress environment type, the selected product identifier, and the credential submitted by the administrator. Stored credentials are encrypted. Public page views do not perform license requests.

Cloudflare Turnstile
Turnstile is disabled by default. When an administrator enables it, the terminal loads the Turnstile script from https://challenges.cloudflare.com for protected visitors. Verification sends the Turnstile response token and visitor IP address to Cloudflare’s Siteverify endpoint. The configured secret key is also sent server-to-server as required by Turnstile.
