Cloudflare DNS giving me trouble, too many redirects error
-
So I am trying to link my site to a cloudflare domain and added the 3 DNS records that it told me to. I added 2 A records and the CNAME record it told me to, and WordPress is telling me that the domain is active. However, any time I visit the site it says that there are too many redirects. Why won’t it work?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

For clarification: the website works when the wordpress free domain is set to be the primary domain, however once it is switched over to my custom domain that I own through cloudflare the issue arises. It has been about 12 hours since I have linked them, do I need to keep waiting?

Hello there,
You could give it more time, although I don’t see the records as being updated yet. Please check this guide on editing DNS settings at Cloudflare. Also, you’ll want to remove any AAAA records connected to the domain. You may also want to check with Cloudflare support.
You can view the necessary settings you need to add here:

What about this is wrong? Cloudflare doesn’t let me change nameservers so I opted for A and CNAME records:
There is a link to my dns settings. Let me know what is wrong so I can fix it! I appreciate the help!

I checked your domain and I still don’t see these records-
A records-
192.0.78.24
192.0.78.25
CNAME-
www points to brianscully.pro
Could you please make sure these records are added?
Also, please share a screenshot if you can. -

Hello there
I have already shared a screenshot above. It looks right to me… very weird.
Thanks for checking the DNS settings. Could you please disable the proxy option by clicking on the orange cloud icon as shown here https://d.pr/i/lfxzZh for A records and let us know?

I have just updated the A records but not the CNAME ones as you suggested with a TTL of 1 minute, but after one minute there are still no results. Do I give it time?

Hello! I can confirm the brianscully.pro domain is now connected to your WordPress.com site using A records. In case the site isn’t appearing at that address on your end, please clear your browser cache and check again.
The site isn’t accessible at http://www.brianscully.pro so you can go ahead to update the CNAME record as well.

Hi!
The SSL certificate is already provisioned and you should be redirected to the HTTPS version when visiting brianscully.pro or http://www.brianscully.pro.If it’s not the case, please consider clearing the cache on your browser or checking from another browser.
