# CloudFlare API Email not saved / Cannot activate development mode

* It’s been going on for a long while now and i had no response from the developers.
I have set my **CloudFlare Domain Name** and **CloudFlare API Key** but when
I set my CloudFlare API Email and click **Update options** the **CloudFlare API
Email** field gets blank. Under the **CloudFlare Domain Name** field I get confirmation
that my domain has been verified. Also at the bottom of the **CloudFlare API
Key** and **CloudFlare API Email** fields I get confirmations that my key has
been verified!
* At the top of the screen I get these notifications:
* > Plugin Status: True visitor IP is being restored
* > Options Saved
* > Enter your CloudFlare domain name, e-mail address and API key below
* > Plugin Status: CloudFlare will NOT be notified when you mark comments as spam,
> enter your API details below
* As a result I cannot activate Development Mode.
* What is going on with this thing?!

* It’s happening to all my sites, local installs too.

* Its possible those errors are the root cause of your issue. If you fix them it
will be easier to determine whether or not this is a CloudFlare issue.
* If you log into CloudFlare.com do you see the settings as you expect even if
the plugin isn’t displaying them correctly?

* Hmmm, I don’t think so, it happens to all my sites, you see. In one of my live
sites I get a few messages as described in my first post, the email address does
not get saved, when saving the page and also the development mode status is not
saved either(it doesn’ matter if I select On or Off, after save none is selected).
* On another site I get an error at the top:
`Warning: Problem with the SSL CA
cert (path? access rights?) in /siteroot/wp-content/plugins/cloudflare/cloudflare.
php on line 406`
* and further down
`Unable to get current development mode status - Problem with
the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)`
* Development mode is not saved here either but email gets saved in the email field!
* I have just installed the plugin in a fresh WP install locally, no other plugin
installed, using a default theme. Same problem like the first case!
* It can’t be just me, can it??
* On Cloudflare.com everything looks fine.

* Warning: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?) in /siteroot/wp-
content/plugins/cloudflare/cloudflare.php on line 406
* The error is due to corrupt or missing SSL chain certificate files in the PKI
directory.
* I’m not sure exactly what is wrong but its a server configuration issue and not
an issue with the plugin itself. You can try something like this:
[http://blog.unixy.net/2013/08/curl-77-problem-with-the-ssl-ca-cert-path-access-rights-resolved/](http://blog.unixy.net/2013/08/curl-77-problem-with-the-ssl-ca-cert-path-access-rights-resolved/)

* The CloudFlare API calls happen over HTTPS and those calls are failing because
your server can’t verify the authenticity of the certificates.

* Ok, does that mean that I need to be running an SSL certificate on my server
myself?

* No but the SSL configuration on that server appears to be broken.
