    Done, please check ur GDB settings, you should ahve an extra one near the bottom for MaxCDN, the root url should include the http(s) and should not include the trailing slash. (i havet added proper instructions yet)

    Let me know how you get on.

    Hi Stiofan
    Initial findings are that when the MaxCDN settings are enabled we loose the css on the front end despite telling the settings that we only have bmp|jpg|jpeg|mp3 file extensions set.

    Looking at the page source it looks like the javascript is also trying to be served by the maxcdn url

    I have not added validation yet but i’ll do it now as you are missing the http part of the url 🙂 I see you are running HTTPS but your CDN url is not a SSL one, you need to enable it and get one, its free in maxCDN but it’s tricky to find, they try to offer u los of paid options first.

    Let me know how u get on.

    I’ll get the ssl cert sorted and set up a sub domain once I’m happy that everything works the way I need. I’m doing some more testing today but in the mean time have you made any progress towards solving the above issue, I have specifically only requested that images are served by maxCDN so have you made any progress on why javasript and css have maxCDN url’s?

    Yes that will be resolved in the next release, but really u should serve them via CDN.

    OK, thats cool, thanks.
    So could you clarify something for me please?
    Your last response

    but really u should serve them via CDN

    implies that either gbBooster or MaxCDN are active and not both?
    So gdBooster has no effect on any assets at all other than to serve maxCDN content when maxCDN is enabled? I assumed that gdBooster would continue working the way it always has on assets not served by maxCDN?
    Or are you just saying that if I enable maxCDN then it would be better to serve all assets that way than to rely on gdBoost?

    GDB tries to add all the JS files to one JS file (same with CSS), this would be better served via CDN.

    Ahh, Thank you, I (wrongly) assumed that WordPress behaved in much the same way as the Rails Asset Pipeline behaves and compiled all the assets minifying css and javascript in the process. Thank you for the clarification. Strange that such an advanced platform as WP doesn’t do this.

    You should document somewhere that images uploaded to maxCDN ne4ed to be placed inside thethe path inside the maxCDN public_html/wp-content/uploads folder rather than just in the public_html folder. The folders wp-content and uploads will need to be created

    From the page source

    Admin area, places, featured image, The image is showing as missing as it is looking for the image on wp server not the maxCDN location

    Links are only changed on the frontend.

    You should not have to upload anything to MaxCDN, it does it all for you.

    This is causing problems with the backend especially when editing a place. The image can’t be found, you save the edit and then you have no image on the front end unless you go and find the image again.

    MaxCDN only does everything for you if you set up a pull zone. I am using a push zone. I suspect we may change to a pull zone before going live.

    This is a big issue for us.
