In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] Test URL before enabling : failsThe most common reason for this type of problem is the origin URL that you entered when setting up the CDN in our dashboard.
If you entered the site URL with a trailing slash (“/”), but when visiting your site there’s no trailing slash , or if you enter “https://ni-liv.dk” when there is a “www.” , the CDN will not work. The CDN needs the actual true URL to your site and maybe try adding the site again without a trailing slash and see if it works.
Take a screenshot of the site settings and open a new issue + any error messages and I can help further if needed

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] Still active?It is indeed active and working. For your problems I’d need the debug output in the plugin settings as well as more information (screenshots , steps to reproduce) as to what you mean exactly by “not working”. Feel free to create a new issue with this extra information so I can properly help as best as I can

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] Error 400 bad requestThat happens when you try to load the CDN url without a path to a static asset.
The CDN works by replacing all of your static asset urls (images, css, html, media) with the CDN URL above + the path to the asset.
The CDN urls use geographic DNS resolution to resolve to an endpoint that is physically closest to the person who is requesting it.
Regarding the unknown error you saw, this is usually the result of not putting your origin URL in the CDN dashboard exactly how it is in your browser when first loading the site. Most common reason is a “/” at the end of the url or something very simple and subtle like that.

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] Does it work? Bandwidth says 0…The CDN is indeed working. This bandwidth (display) reporting issue is a known issue and we are currently transitioning to a new collection system to improve visual representation of the bandwidth usage data.
Apologies for the inconvenience

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] CDN Not WorkingHello,
Is this issue still happening for you? If so can you share the actual test URL you are trying? Its possible your web host may be interfering with the CDN endpoint’s ability to fetch the asset.
Thanks!

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] This plugin has corrupted the site’s appearance and layoutThere are many many reasons why this would happen. Are you able to provide the test URL that the plugin provides in the main settings page?
Two of the most common reasons why this would happen :
- The settings for the site url doesnt match your url. Note that “site.com/” and “site.com” are treated differently by the system. Make sure the url defined in the CDN dashboard settings matches exactly what your site url is.
- Your web hosting provider is blocking our CDN endpoints mistakenly thinking it is automated bot traffic
We can try to rule out the issue. Step 1 would be to provide the test URL so I can see what is happening.
Thank you
For anyone else curious and slightly more intermediate with MySQL you can just run this query to bulk delete all the redirects from your database. Tested in multiple environments, just be sure you take backups before just in case :
delete from wp_options where option_name = '301_redirects' limit 1;Its all JSON encoded serialized data in that one row in wp_options.
Hello!
First make sure that you are using the most recent version of the plugin.
Then under “CDN Settings” tab within the plugin settings, you should be able to enter the URI path of each item you do not want to be served, like the following example :
/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/name-1800x1800.jpeg/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/logo-light-1.pngHope this helps!

In reply to: [NSFW] [Shift8 CDN] Plugin causes general error so it is temporary disabledHello,
An update to the plugin has been pushed out earlier today to resolve this critical error. If you ensure that you are running v1.68 at a minimum then it should resolve the issue for you.
Thank you

In reply to: [Shift8 CDN] Excluding more than one item from cacheI should note that also entire file extensions should be possible with this, but your original (.*) regex wouldnt work, for all mp4 files you could do the following :
