    I was under the impression that I could use this plug-in to report comment spam to CloudFlare. However, it does not work.

    This plug-in attempts to access “https://www.cloudflare.com/ajax/external-event.html” which results in “The page you are looking for cannot be found.” According to CloudFlare support “We’re no longer collecting data from this endpoint.” and “Unfortunately, this is a discontinued feature, we may bring it back in the future but it’s currently not on the roadmap.”

    I pay for CloudFlare and this was an important factor in our decision. I am starting to research alternative services such as Distil Networks.

    There are over 600 lines in this plugin to accomplish one very simple thing: fix the originating IP address. Even then it didn’t always work. Uninstall this bloated plugin. Add this line to wp-config.php instead:

    if(array_key_exists('HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP', $_SERVER)){ $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_CF_CONNECTING_IP']; }
