    Hello, I currently today installed to try out the W3TC plugin (very cool plugin btw guys!)

    I already use Cloudfront on my website, so I installed the W3TC extension for Cloudfront, and connected that in the Extensions menu. However now the problem I have, is the main CDN is giving me errors on configuration, requesting Access key ID, Secret key and other info. There is where I am stuck currently, since I thought I previously did configure the extension correctly, but now its asking me again for credentials. Am I supposed to get these from the Cloudfront dashboard or something?

    Hello @zanza321

    Thank you for reaching out.

    Yes, you need to add the Access key and the secret key and those can be found in your Cloud front Dashboard. These need to be added to ensure a proper work of the CDN and specific, bucket/origin.

    Thanks!

    Any idea where these can be found on Cloudflare dash? All I see is an API key section, but it doesn’t mention these terms above.

    Hello @zanza321

    Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry for the late reply.

    What you shared in the screenshot is the Cloudflare dashboard, and you are trying to set up Cloudfront CDN in W3TC with Cloudflare credentials. Cloudflare and AWS Cloudfront are two different providers.

    Please check the article on how to setup Cloudflare with W3 Total Cache.

    Thanks!
