 * Seems I have to disable the Cloudflare proxy service and switch it to dns only
   in order for the plugin to work. What was even more frustrating is that the this
   plugin never showed any errors, including debug, it would just run a couple seconds
   and then quit with nothing in the log and no console errors. It would even infinitely
   run in the background (if i watched the apache logs) until the plugin was disabled.
   Any way around this?

 * Hey [@macscr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macscr/),
 * are you blocking cron jobs or running them through an external service?
    The 
   DNS should not be a problem, but a missing cron (reschedule all the time) could
   result in this.
 * I’m taking a deeper look into Cloudflare, but haven’t had any issues yet (using
   it myself).
 * Best regards,
    Patrick

 * I ended up simply moving it to a subdomain and disabled the proxy on it. I use
   something like wp.example.com and then have your plugin generate the static files
   in the html folder for example.com. I originally got it to have the static files
   for another server, which I simply rsync to as well after generation and was 
   going keep this instance dynamic, but might as well just make both static and
   use the subdomain install method. Works fine.
