The path to my subdomain folder is /srv/12flat- images/ (as opposed to /srv/12flat/ which I have a copy of /wp-content and /wp- includes within. I looked in the db to find where AO specifies the path but you must be just grabbing that from wp so I cannot override. * In DB (for images) working fine. upload_path – /srv/12flat-images/wp-content/ uploads upload_url_path – [https://cdn.12flat.com/wp-content/uploads](https://cdn.12flat.com/wp-content/uploads) * Within the plugin (CDN Enabler) CDN URL [https://cdn.12flat.com](https://cdn.12flat.com) Included Directories wp-content,wp-includes Relative Path (default: enabled). - This reply was modified 9 years, 1 month ago by [dblinks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dblinks/).

In AO I made //12flat. com/ the cdn and left [https://cdn.12flat.com](https://cdn.12flat.com) as the domain for the CDN Enabler plugin. * No error on the AO js file now… all other assets are using the cdn. * Your support exceeds expectations and suggestions push me to find ways to improve. * 5 stars. * Thread Starter [dblinks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dblinks/) * (@dblinks) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cache-folder-path/#post-8992125) * Probably will work just leaving the cdn blank in your plugin. As you said I’m not using “pull” so until I figure that out the site is performing well enough.
