'www' option not working despite 3 services telling me I've entered everything correctly
so, in the future if anyone sees this / needs it (doubt)
- remove CNAME record for www and create a URL redirect for www
- Add New Record and create the following record:
URL Redirect | Host: www | Value: https://oomles.com/ | Unmasked
- save, and wait 30 minutes

the redirect worked! Why didn't namecheap tell me this in the first place and why did it take me 5 separate support chats to solve? Good question!

Gotta boogie for a little bit anyway, so stay tuned - if this works / doesn't work I'll update? I guess? 🤷♀️

just had Namecheap support tell me this:
In that case, you can remove the CNAME record for www and create a URL redirect for www as follows: - Having logged into the Namecheap account, go to your Domain List -> click "Manage" next to the domain -> the "Advanced DNS" tab -> the "Host Records" section. - Then, click on "Add New Record" and create the following record:and to give it 30 minutes to an hour. Fingers crossed it actually WAS the conflicting CNAME and not Cloudflare issues?

'www' option not working despite 3 services telling me I've entered everything correctly
I think?? I'm still fairly new to the world of domains, so I could be completely wrong lol. All I know is that it showed me how to copy and paste the info needed for redirects in the domain host of my choice 😅

Currently in a chat with Namecheap support, and they might be able to help after all?? I'll keep yall posted if so.
Regardless, that's a really good resource to keep in mind. Thank you so much!

But yeah all I really wanna do is be sure that www.oomles.com leads to the same place as oomles.com as opposed to this 😭

'www' option not working despite 3 services telling me I've entered everything correctly
For context, I had originally bought this domain through Shopify. I had it transferred to Namecheap since I wanted to use the domain on what I wanted, and not just through Shopify. And honestly, other than the www issue, it's working great! But I put 'www.oomles.com' on all my promotional material...
I am currently using that domain on Carrd, as intended. Carrd, Namecheap, and Shopify have all said that it looks like the CNAMES have been entered correctly.
