How to prevent cloudflare from blocking VerifyPass wordpress plugin.
I have been having nothing but trouble trying to figure out what i need to do to make it so cloudflare isnt blocking one of the plugins im using on my website. I reached out to their support and they told me to reach out to cloudflare support. I have tried multiple times to get on live chat, which should be available to me with my business plan, but i get stuck in this loop and get nowhere. I need to disable Cloudflare from challenging the following URL path: /wp-json/verifypass/* and I dont know where in the dashboard i would go to do that.

If you're still having trouble, the first thing I would do is figure out exactly what service is blocking it. Do the action that gets blocked, then wait a min or two and you can go under Security -> Events: https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/:zone/security/events, expand it to see the matching service.
If it's managed rules, you have options layed out here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/managed-rules/handle-false-positives/, you can go down the exception path https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/managed-rules/waf-exceptions/define-dashboard/ or disable/modify that rule in the ruleset, as described there.
if it's something else like rate limiting, custom rules, super bot fight mode, etc
Under Security -> WAF, you can make a new custom rule (create rule) matching the path field just like
/wp-json/verifypass/* and action Skip, and skip what you need https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/custom-rules/skip/Cloudflare Docs
