 * 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…
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcloudflare-cache-breaks-voting%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * 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**
