Validating domains with Cloudflare and SSL failing

SOLUTION

If you have problems validating the domain records you have to to the following stuff:

  1. Click on the orange cloud of cloudflare after the a-records and www cname to disable http-proxy ans use dns-only
  2. If using SSL, make sure you set the crypto ssl setting to full since Webflow is providing a certificate.
  3. Validate the domains in Webflow under hosting

Most important is to disable the Cloudflare’s http-proxy for both a-records and the provided cname, if you don’t do this Webflow won’t be able to see it’s correctly configured.
