Question
CNAME not working, www in general not opening my website
- Posted April 11, 2020
- DigitalOcean Accounts
Hello, My wordpress website is “ogmashare.com”. Opening it via https://ogmashare.com works, http://ogmashare.com also works. but adding www. doesn’t.
Usually I never encountered this problem with digitalocean. I tried fixing it by adding a CNAME record that redirects to @ but it’s still not working.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there @ravingsmads,
The problem is not really the DNS here, your CNAME record for www is setup correctly. You can check that here:

The problem seems to be your SSL certificate, it only includes your non-www version. You need to re-issue SSL certificate so that it includes both the www and the non-www version of your domain.
If you are using
certbotthe command would look something like this:Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
