    After installing the CLoudFlare CDN plogin, the config file of that plugin is located at:
    /wp-content/plugins/cloudflare/config.js
    In “All in One WP Security Plugin”, if you enable “Advanced Character String Filter” under Firewall, this is addedd to your .htaccess file:
    ….
    # SPECIFIC EXPLOITS
    RedirectMatch 403 config\.
    ….
    And this prevents access to the config file. Cloudflare plugin is not working. Disable “Advanced Character String Filter” makes CloudFlare plugin work.

    Hi, this additional firewall rule can cause some issues. That is why the more info button provides the following explanation.

    NOTE: Some strings for this setting might break some functionality.
    You are therefore strongly advised to take a backup of your active .htaccess file before applying this feature.

    If this is your case then you can adjust the code added in your .htaccess file and add it to the Custom Rules tab.

    Let me know if this helps you.

    Kind regards
