How to make this work with Cloudflare?

    I love this plugin, however I’ve recently integrated my site with Cloudflare and it throws up my “you’ve been banned” error page for every visitor, making the site inaccessible. I believe this is because visitors are served through Cloudflare’s selection of IP addresses. Is there a way to make this work alongside Cloudflare?

    Thanks for the feedback. Check out the documentation for information regarding caching plugins. Basically not supported at this time.

    Gonna go ahead and mark this as resolved to help keep things organized. Feel free to follow-up or post afresh with any new issues or questions. Thank you.

    Hi,

    Your plugin seems to work fine – at least I got the banned page.

    But as danaforest1 said, with cloudflare it gives a your banned to everyone.

    I followed the instructions for caching sites, but this doesn’t seem to work with cloudflare.

    Perhaps if you have time you could post a specific solution for cloudflare.

    Thank you again for the simple effective solution

    Hello, yes that is correct. As explained in the documentation and elsewhere, caching plugins/scripts such as cloudflare currently are not supported by the plugin. Adding support is on the to-do list, however, so I appreciate your feedback and suggestions.

    Is this plugin still not compatible with cloudflare?

    Cloudflare has page rules to exclude urls from caching, so would adding an exclusion not work or has this issue been resolved?

    That is correct, I don’t use Cloudflare so I can’t test on it. But yes, if the service provides a way to exclude/whitelist/ignore URLs, then add:

    blackhole

    ..such that any URL that contains that string will NOT be cached. Remember to test well, and please report back if the exclusion results in compatibility (so I can add it to the list). Thank you.
