    Hi Marko,

    I am having an issue with the Cloudflare Extension setting for SSL.

    My site is setup with Cloudflare and my Origin Server to use Full(Strict) encryption mode, with the required certificates all working perfectly fine.

    However, when I try and select ‘SSL: Strict’ in the W3 Total Cache plugin Cloudflare extension settings, I get the following error:

    “Failed to update CloudFlare settings:
    Failed to update option ssl: Invalid value for zone setting ssl”

    If I choose ‘SSL: Full’, the setting will be accepted BUT it will change my setting in Cloudflare from Full (Strict) down to ‘Full’.

    I do have a trusted CA/Cloudflare Origin CA certificate on the server.

    I hope that is clear and that you can help me with this final step for integrating W3TC & Cloudflare correctly.

    Best regards,

    Carl

    Hello @carl-fox

    Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
    Can you please go to your Cloudflare dashboard (Login to Cloudflare) and in your website>SSL/TLS>Overview, select Full (strict)

    After that, go to the WP Dashboard, Performance>Extensions>Cloudflare settings (reload the page if you are already there), and check the Cloudflare: SSL SSL: dropdown.
    If it’s blank, leave it as it is.
    I’ll share this with the team (I was able to replicate this).

    Thanks!
