I have Cloudflare on a number of standalone Wordpress sites and it works great. I have not used it on a multisite yet. Anyone using it? This is a good place to share tips.
I have Cloudflare on a number of standalone Wordpress sites and it works great. I have not used it on a multisite yet. Anyone using it? This is a good place to share tips.
I gave Cloudflare a go recently and it seemed to be doing its thing but I didn't notice any speed difference and actually noticed a couple things I didn't really have time to deal with (routing the DNS of my main site to their nameservers meant I had to access cpanel through my host rather than by mysite.com/cpanel). I uninstalled it but will give it another try when I get a free moment.
Custom domains don't work within your own setup. I've added the related subdomains from the my mapped sites as A records to my DNS list on Cloudflare, but the mapped ones don't get the Cloudflare treatment.
You have to add them as separate sites. Though I guess the trouble here is that we often don't have the ability to control the domains themselves (at least I don't, my users bring their domains to our network). Short of asking them to setup their sites with Cloudflare (or give me control of them) - there isn't any way to handle this.
I would love for there to be a software solution for this for domain mapped sites that doesn't involve the users having to turn over control of their domains. Ideally, I'd like to be able to handle it all myself. Its useful to be able to set cloudflare to development mode to tweak CSS - if the user has their own CF account and has asked me to fix something on their site, then having control over their CF would be useful. I wonder if the TT guys can think of a workaround for this that will account for domain mapped sites in their plugin.

Hi,
There are a number of topics about CloudFlare , but I haven't seen if anyone has it working with a multi-site set up yet.
I haven't read all of the threads though.

Yep, you can read this message

So,I marked resolved.

Hiya,
Still haven't had a chance to give Cloudflare a chance. Would be cool for multisite though. Thanks to our awesome members here for chiming in first :)

I want to add;
Is there any problem for custom domains?
And When users don't want to use cloudflare (so disabled plugin) any problem for sync?
Thanks.

Just a quick follow up.
Addon domains, better known as Mapped domain, can't be handled automatically with our plugin, which can only add subdomain as CNAMES to CloudFlare.
With mapped domains every new domain must be manually created on CloudFlare, as there is no way to do that through API at the moment.
We have asked if adding this feature was something they would consider, and they said : "It's under discussion, but not immediate."
If it will happen, we'll definetly work on it...
In that case you would have control of CoudFlare setting for all your users' domains... after they set NameServers correctly for their domain.
