What goes in CDN Hostname field?

James,

I’m fairly new to this whole WordPress thing myself, so bare with me, but I think I figured out what you’re looking for:

WP Dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins > CDN Enabler > Settings > CDN Hostname

I am going to assume you have already setup and configured your chosen CDN Service, as-well-as added the appropriate CNAME entries into your DNS. If not you’ll need to do it first.

I think you can use any CDN Service you want with this plugin, but I use the developer’s CDN “www.keycdn.com”. So far, they’ve been super good. The other more popular option is to use cloudfare.com. However Cloudfare is more expensive. KeyCDN has all the features I need, with additional more than I can grow the site into, and does it with a fairly reasonable pricing tier. YMMV.

To get this to save appropriately, you must include the full path to an available .css file on your webhost. Something like:

www <websiteurl.com>/wp-content/themes/<your theme>/theme.css

You can find this file (or any other .css file) by FTPing into your web server, locating the “wp-content” folder (this is your wordpress install) then navigating to “themes”, then to the directory for your currently activated theme. There you will find the “theme.css” file.

It doesn’t matter what .css file you choose to use from this directory. CDN Enabler Plugin only uses the file to verify the full path to validate accessibility against. It needs a file to access so it can determine if the path is good or not. Without providing a file on your server for it to see, it isn’t able to determine if anything is there or not and will return an error code. Giving it the file to look for resolves this issue.
