Hello, I’m using cloudflare, and when I go to google search console, I get a txt thing up, can someone guide me how exactly I get my discourse forum indexed when using cloudflare? Really appreciated
AI-generated summary
The original poster (DiscourseUser) is trying to get their Discourse forum indexed with Google Search Console while using Cloudflare. They are prompted to add a TXT record to authorize their domain, but are unsure how to fill in the “name” and “ttl” fields.
Stephen and pfaffman clarify that the issue is likely related to verifying domain ownership with Google Search Console, rather than blocking access.
DaVania provides two helpful resources: a Google Workspace support page and a tutorial on verifying a Google Search Console domain property with Cloudflare. The tutorial includes screenshots and a step-by-step guide.
Following DaVania’s advice, the original poster (DiscourseUser) successfully verifies their domain and gets their site indexed.
If cloudflare is keeping Google from your forum then you should ask on a cloudflare forum how to fix that. You can find dozens of topics here about people having trouble with cloudflare. The easiest solution is to make it dns only.
I’m not sure the above implies blocking, it sounds a lot like the prompt at the GSC to add a TXT record to authorize a domain.
Oh! Yes. That’s what he means. I got that one wrong. 
Please see if you can find enough information in theese two pages:
The first is for Google Workspace, but should be the same process in Cloudflare
The second is for Google Search, which is what you are looking for, but with screenshots/guidande of lower quality.
thank you! it worked!
