I followed the instructions in Webflow’s How to Connect to a Custom Domain video and managed to change my A settings successfully.
But I can’t seem to alter my CNAME setting in a way that points my Webflow site to the domain name that I own (domain name registered through Wordpress).
On Wordpress, it’s showing a CNAME setting for *.okrabranding.com (with the asterisk) and I can’t edit this setting. I’ve added a new CNAME for home.okrabranding.com, because trying to add www.okrabranding.com only points it to www.www.okrabranding.com (wtf?).
Is there any way for me to connect my Webflow site to www.okrabranding.com?
What do I have to do in order for me to use www.okrabranding.com for my Webflow site?
What I did was, I switched my registrar from Wordpress to GoDaddy. GoDaddy is more flexible with its DNS settings and I was able to do what I set out to do.
Not sure about Wordpress, but if you’re wanting to use GoDaddy (which I use); then it’s best to purchase the domain on GoDaddy and close the domains from the Wordpress registrar.
It’s always best to cancel a domain on the current registrar and buy it again on another. I’ve tried many times to switch it with time left, but its a hassle. You should purchase the same domain again, it’ll cost a little extra but its still worth avoiding the hassle.
Thanks for the quick response. I’m trying to cancel the domain from Wordpress, but since I bought the domain for a year, its saying that it’ll remain active till the year is up. Is there a way to get around this?
