    First of all, the plugin is fantastic. However, I’m having an issue where the poll (see link, located in the blog below the articles) does not work when the Cloudflare cache is active. No errors are shown in the developer console, but a “Invalid WP token!” message. AJAX load results is enabled (tried to switch, no effect). Cache deleted, it´s just if CF cache enabled.

    Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Any hint is welcome…

    I tried the rating on your website and discovered the request to process the rating returns a 403 forbidden error.

    A closer look reveals cloudflare is blocking the request. Ray ID a086e5cb39160488 was returned.

    Use the above Ray ID to find the HTTP request in your cloudflare account so you can trace the security rule responsible and fix up

    Strange… I had to create an exception

    POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php → allowed through (bypasses WAF, IUAM, rate limiting, etc.)

    because in other plugins (forms..) accessing the admin-ajax is completely flawless without. May you use it in a way, that triggers Cloudflare? But anyway, thanks for helping me out 🙂

    here´s the ruleset

    When incoming requests match…(http.request.uri.path eq "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" and http.request.method eq "POST")

    Skip the following products

    ☑️ Security Level only
