DNS Error + SSL Unavailable
Hi everyone, I’m new to using Cloudflare. I’ve been a website designer for over a decade and so I have experience linking domains, but I've never had this much trouble, and I'm hoping someone can help. I've read through all the Cloudflare docs/guides I could find, and I even posted to the Community Forum but only receive a response from one person but they directed me to the instructions on Squarespace's website which I've also gone thru and read as much of their documentation I could find. All guidance on both sites keep linking me to other guides/docs but then they all just keep taking me in circles back to each other. I'm very frustrated and confused.
My website is currently up & running and going to the new Cloudflare domain I bought, BUT cannot figure out why it continues to say "DNS Error We couldn't verify DNS settings with Other." and SSL Certificate Status says "Unavailable". Its been like this for about 2 weeks now.
When I click to view my DNS settings 1 of 2 CNAMES says Record found in green but then for the other CNAME and all my A records are marked red.
Like I said, the domain is directing to my site, but I read somewhere in the Cloudflare documentation that if domains aren't verified after a certain amount of time, then they will be removed so I'm anticipating it will disconnect at somepoint. Any one able to help with this? Thanks in advance.
