Wow, that was fast! Thanks for the fix. It works! Going to check out the new features now.

My site just auto-upgraded to this, and I immediately got “website down” notices from both Jetpack and Pingdom. Sure enough, I visited my site, and every request was met with a 403 Forbidden error. Here is the relevant entry from my apache log:

client denied by server configuration: /var/www/wp-content/wfcache/mydomain.com_/~~~~_wfcache_https.html

I replaced my actual domain with ‘mydomain.com’

I’ve had to disable Wordfence’s performance options completely in order to restore access to the site.

Nevermind. It turns out it was my host. The server was on PHP5.2, which doesn’t support anonymous functions. I was able to upgrade it, and now the plugin works. Thanks!

I updated BruteProtect, re-enabled CloudFlare HTML minification, purged the CloudFlare cache, and waited. 30 minutes later, no downtime reported by BruteProtect.

Perfect! Thank you.

It’s funny. I was going to use <span style="display:none;"></span> too.

Great. Thank you!

Yes, I think that would work. The WordPress settings in .htaccess work as expected. Thank you for the quick response!

I really think it’s as simple as Cloudflare’s HTML minify removing the HTML comment that BruteProtect is looking for. I need BruteProtect to confirm that that’s how their monitoring works.

If so, some configuration options on the Minification to leave comments would work, but I know that would probably be a huge change on your end.

Otherwise, maybe I can take that verification string out of the comment, and put it in a div that’s visually hidden. That way, HTML minification won’t discard it, and the string will still be there when BruteProtect looks for it.

I’ll open a support ticket if you want, but I’m not sure it’s necessary until BruteProtect responds.

No other performance or caching plugins of any kind. I was using W3TC before enabling cloudflare, but that’s disabled and deleted now.

Thanks for the quick reply. I’m not getting any errors on Cloudflare at all.

Since my first post, I think I’ve been able to narrow the problem down to the HTML minifying. It strips out whitespace and HTML comments, and I think that’s it. I noticed a random-ish looking string in an HTML comment in the footer of my site. That gets removed with HTML minification turned on. When I disable only HTML minification and leave all other settings on, BruteProtect sees my site as up again.

I wonder if I could hide that string in a hidden div somehow. Or maybe I’m completely off here and something else is happening.

Version 2.0.1 is out which fixes the embed urls:

I’m pretty sure I got all of them this time. ??

Ah, silly me. I didn’t even consider those links (duh).

I’ll release a fix in the next couple of days (no time right now).

Thanks for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback.

Version 2.0.0 is out which adds support for playlists:

Thank you for letting me know about this. I will work on it and update here when a fix is released.
