# MaxCDN changed to Stackpath, CDN errors

 * Since MaxCDN has been absorbed by Stackpath, we got rid of our MaxCDN account
   and changed everything over to stackpath. In the settings, we are forced to choose
   MaxCDN, and then forced also to enter an authorization key. If there was a previous
   authorization key for maxcdn, then I will get the error: There is an error with
   your CDN settings: Your account has been disabled. Which is true, but if there
   was not, or if I remove the authorization key and clear all CDN data from the
   plugin, then I will get the “{authorization key is required}” error.
 * Luckily, it is still correctly rewriting the url’s to the CDN domain. But the
   errors really make the user think things are not right and almost caused me to
   get rid of the plugin and find another or write my own, because the CDN is the
   only thing I’m using this plugin for and it appeared that when trying to correct
   the error by removing the authorization key, that the url’s were not being rewritten
   and all traffic for those resources were being forced on the site. But, after
   restoring the backup and starting again from scratch, it seems that despite the
   eorrors, the url’s are correctly pointing to the CDN and not the domain, so at
   least there is that.
 * Would be nice if you provided an option to ignore any authorization keys, and
   allow the user to simply have the URL’s rewritten without the functionality of
   remotely managing the CDN cache.

 * Hey Aryan,
 * Thank you for your input on this. There is a temporary solution to this problem,
   that would be to setup API Credentials on StackPath and reset W3TC to the default
   setting. Then perform the integration just as you would in case of MaxCDN.
 * Now here is where it get’s a little tricky, you will still need to insert the
   StackPath CDN URL manually, but it should work. That would hopefully get rid 
   of the internal errors.
 * Also, here’s a guide on how you can insert the CDN URL: [https://support.stackpath.com/hc/en-us/articles/222730587-WordPress-with-W3-Total-Cache-StackPath-CDN-Setup-Guide](https://support.stackpath.com/hc/en-us/articles/222730587-WordPress-with-W3-Total-Cache-StackPath-CDN-Setup-Guide)
 * I hope this tip helps you and others reading this, until W3TC adds StackPath 
   to the configuration list 🙂

 * Thank you for the response. I did not readily see the api area in stackpath. 
   I was searching for a while for some way to generate a key. Beyond that though,
   with the w3total cache plugin, when clearing all settings and attempting to “
   perform the integration”, there is only maxcnd available and when you attempt
   to integrate, it redirects to maxcnd for login and obviously, stackpath credentials
   do not work here.
 * Still, I do have the API creds now for stackpath and I thank you for bringing
   that to my attention. I will try again on staging to see if maybe this issue 
   can be resolved, but with the authorize and access token url’s being for stackpath,
   I doubt that w3t will check that path instead of maxcd since there is no stackpath
   option in the CDN list.
