 * I don’t seem to find the error. Any ideas?

 * I have same problem.
 * I have disable W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.6 CloudFlare Support and activate Official
   CloudFlare Plugin.
 * Problem Solved!

 * I’ve managed to iron all the wrinkles. The error I mentioned first (the CloudFlare
   API) is the last one I’m experiencing. Any ideas?

 * Please make sure you are using the e-mail address under the account settings 
   of cloudflare in W3TC, had the same problem because before you needed to use 
   the user name instead! That fixed above error for me!

 * Having the same problem here with the latest release. Noticed a huge decrease
   in Y-Slow score (A to E). Not sure how to fix this one yet – my e-mail and setting
   in Cloud Flare are all 100% right.
 * Anyone find a way to make this work yet?

 * I believe this is fixed in 0.9.2.7, sorry for the trouble.

 * I downloaded 0.9.2.7 today and having this issue. I enter in my API key, it gives
   me the message that it is connected, then within a few hours, I get the “Unable
   to communicate…” error.

 * Downloaded 0.9.2.8 this morning. Enabled Cloudflare with correct settings & got
   this error:
 * Unable to communicate with CloudFlare API: Setting: minify Invalid token or email.

 * Nevermind. I was testing something before and had Cloudflare ‘paused’ for that
   domain & forgot to turn it back on. Fixed.

 * I downloaded 0.9.2.8 and am still getting the unable to communicate error. It
   will tell me it is connected when I initially save it, but if I leave the General
   Settings page and go back, then it gives me the unable to communicate error.

 * Hi,
 * Same problem here, if I read well (I’m a newbie with CloudFlare).
 * Everything looked wonderful (amazing load time decrease of my “little” self shared
   hosted WP blog… 99% sure it’s thanks to CloudFlare!), until now :
 * 1. Performance decrease,
    2. Cloudfare plugin alone : no error displayed 3. Last
   W3TC update (0.9.2.8) alone : “Unable to communicate with CloudFlare API: Setting:
   async The requested domain does not exist or is no longer active.” [with correct
   e-mail & correct API of course].
 * Help, totally lost now 🙂 !

 * I ran into the same issue with 0.9.2.8. I checked the settings for Cloudflare
   in W3 Total Cache and it looked correct.
 * I also tested by replacing the API and that did not work. It was not until I 
   typed my email address in again (even though it was already showing correctly)
   that it then worked and I did not get the error any longer.
