Search for **Clerk** in the block inserter to add an individual component, or use a shortcode such as `[clerk component="sign-in"]`. Existing generic Clerk Component blocks remain supported and can be converted to their matching dedicated block. #### Get started 1. Create or choose a Clerk application. 2. Save its **publishable key** under **Settings > Visitor Components for Clerk**. 3. Add a Clerk block or shortcode to a page and view the published page. **Clerk visitor login stays separate from WordPress accounts and wp-admin.** Only publishable keys are used. Never enter a Clerk secret key. A Clerk account/application is required. Some Clerk service features may require a paid plan. See **External services and privacy** below for details about browser requests and third-party services. #### Match your site’s appearance Settings are grouped into **General**, **Appearance**, **Layout and links**, ** Advanced**, and **Experimental**. * **Theme presets:** Default, Simple, Dark, Shades of Purple, Neobrutalism, and shadcn. The shadcn preset requires compatible CSS variables and utility styles supplied by your WordPress theme. * **Appearance variables:** Color pickers and typography/sizing controls. Blank fields inherit theme defaults. **Reset appearance overrides** clears only custom variables. * **Layout and links:** Configure social buttons, logo placement, card elevation, animations, automatic focus, avatar shimmer, optional fields, and help, terms, privacy, and logo URLs. Choose **Inherit default** or leave URLs blank to use Clerk defaults. URL overrides require full HTTP/HTTPS addresses without embedded credentials. **Reset appearance options** preserves variables, theme, and publishable key. * **Provider parameters:** Under **Advanced > Provider parameters**, configure sign-out, authentication, waitlist, and post-checkout URLs using site-relative paths or full HTTP/HTTPS URLs. Forced authentication redirects take precedence over fallbacks. Blank fields keep existing defaults; reset clears only provider parameters. #### Preview components in the editor Interactive live previews use your saved settings and Clerk visitor session. * Previews start closed. **Open Preview** and **Close Preview** toggle the inline component. * **Refresh preview** reloads changed settings. * **Open in new tab** provides a full browser view for authentication providers that disallow embedded pages. * Preview height follows the control and expands for dialogs. Disabled Clerk Billing displays setup guidance rather than a generic loading error. **Preview interactions affect your Clerk account.** Site theme styles and custom fonts may differ from the preview. Standalone panels use hash routing: place one authentication/profile panel per page. Multiple User Buttons and Organization Switchers are supported. #### Component requirements * **Organization components:** Enable Organizations in your Clerk application. * **Pricing Table:** Enable Clerk Billing and publish plans. Select user or organization plans in the editor. Organization plans require a signed-in visitor and active organization. * **Waitlist:** Enable Waitlist mode in Clerk. * **Google One Tap:** Enable Google and Google One Tap in Clerk. The component requests one browser-controlled prompt for signed-out visitors, shared across placements. The browser may suppress it. Use **Open in new tab** if the embedded prompt is blocked. #### Conditional content with Clerk Show Nest blocks inside Clerk Show to display them to signed-in or signed-out Clerk visitors. Content starts hidden until Clerk loads and follows session changes. **Clerk Show controls visibility only. All nested content remains in public HTML. Do not use it to protect private content or authorize access. Nested output is filtered using WordPress’s permitted post HTML, retaining the hidden attribute on `div` elements for nested Show compatibility. Ordinary blocks and Clerk components are supported. Scripts, iframe embeds, forms, and other markup not permitted in post HTML may be removed; place those blocks outside Clerk Show. #### Experimental localization Enable experimental localization to follow WordPress’s current site/page language in components, dialogs, and live previews. Translations load only when enabled. Unsupported languages or download failures use English. This setting does not localize Clerk’s hosted Account Portal or browser-controlled prompts. #### Source and licenses Readable JavaScript/SCSS source and build tools are included in the release ZIP. See `README.md` for rebuilding and `THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt` for bundled licenses. #### External services and privacy ### Clerk This plugin requires a Clerk account/application. Clerk provides the visitor authentication, sessions, account and organization controls, and optional billing and waitlist features. Some Clerk service features may require a paid plan. When configured components or Clerk Show blocks render, the visitor’s browser contacts the Frontend API domain of the configured Clerk application to download the browser SDK/UI and use Clerk’s services. Authorized live editor previews also contact Clerk when opened. The plugin sends the public publishable key in its browser configuration. Clerk requests carry network information such as IP address and browser information, session/authentication information, and data visitors submit in the enabled controls. Depending on the action, this can include email addresses, profile information, organization changes, or billing/waitlist data. Not every component collects every type of data. Clerk manages its own session storage. This plugin stores no Clerk secret keys, does not create WordPress users, and keeps Clerk login separate from WordPress login. No Clerk requests are initiated by the plugin without a configured key and a rendered component/Show block or opened live preview. * **Service provider:** Clerk, Inc. * [Terms of service](https://clerk.com/legal/terms) * [Privacy policy](https://clerk.com/legal/privacy) ### Clerk Billing / Stripe If the site owner enables Clerk Billing and a visitor opens checkout from a Pricing Table or account/organization billing control, Clerk uses Stripe for payment processing. The payment flow sends payment-method details entered by the visitor, customer/billing information and transaction information to Stripe. Browser requests associated with payment collection may also include IP address, browser information and fraud-prevention signals. This is conditional on using the billing/payment flow; installing the plugin alone does not submit payment information. This plugin does not store card details or use a Stripe secret key. * **Service provider:** Stripe. * [Terms of service](https://stripe.com/legal/ssa) * [Privacy policy](https://stripe.com/privacy) * [Clerk Billing documentation](https://clerk.com/docs/guides/billing/overview) ### Custom logo images If the site owner configures a logo image URL, Clerk components may request that image when displayed, including authorized live previews. For a remote URL, the image host receives the image request and network information such as IP address and browser information. Referrer and cookie transmission depends on browser and host policies. Use an image hosted on your own site where possible. If choosing an external image service, identify that service and its terms/privacy policy in your site’s privacy notice. The plugin supplies no default external logo host. Logo destination, help, terms and privacy links navigate when clicked. ### Google One Tap and other identity providers The optional Google One Tap component uses Google’s identity service through Clerk. When placed on a page for a signed-out visitor, it asks Clerk to open the Google prompt; the Clerk application must have Google One Tap enabled and the browser may suppress the prompt. The browser contacts Google as part of this flow, sending network/ browser information and authentication request information. If the visitor proceeds, Google supplies the account identity/authentication credential used by Clerk to sign in or sign up that visitor. Placing the component does not grant Google Workspace directory access. * **Service provider:** Google LLC. * [Terms of service](https://policies.google.com/terms) * [Privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) Other social or enterprise providers enabled by the site owner in Clerk may be contacted when a visitor chooses those sign-in methods. The chosen provider receives the authentication request and returns identity information to Clerk according to that provider’s configuration and policies. Site owners should identify their enabled providers and applicable policies in their site privacy notice. No additional identity provider is selected or enabled by this plugin. Examples of conditional providers and their policies are: * **Microsoft personal accounts:** [Microsoft Services Agreement](https://www.microsoft.com/servicesagreement) and [Microsoft Privacy Statement](https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement). * **Apple accounts:** [Apple Account terms](https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/icloud/en/terms.html), [Sign in with Apple & Privacy](https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/sign-in-with-apple/), and [Apple Privacy Policy](https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/). * **GitHub:** [GitHub Terms of Service](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service) and [GitHub General Privacy Statement](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement). Microsoft Entra organizational sign-in uses the organization’s configured tenant and applicable Microsoft commercial agreement. The personal-account Services Agreement above is not a substitute for those organizational terms. Site owners should review their applicable [Microsoft Product Terms](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/) and Microsoft’s [Products and Services Data Protection Addendum](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs/view/Microsoft-Products-and-Services-Data-Protection-Addendum-DPA) and explain their organization’s handling of identity claims in their privacy notice. The plugin does not select or configure a Microsoft tenant. These providers are only used if enabled in the Clerk application and selected by the visitor. Other configured providers, including enterprise identity providers, have their own policies; review and disclose those before enabling them. This plugin does not configure directory synchronization or collect Google Workspace service- account keys. Clerk localization assets include upstream instructional text about Google Workspace and Microsoft Entra setup. Those strings and SAML claim identifiers are translation data, not requests to the domains mentioned in them. Donation and documentation links only navigate to external sites when clicked. No donation-service scripts, fonts, or remote images are loaded by this plugin. ## Blocks This plugin provides 14 blocks. * Clerk Show Show nested blocks to signed-in or signed-out Clerk visitors.
