I know this is not directly related to Discourse, but since it’s my forum using Discourse, here it is: I’m trying to make sure that all versions of a URL work and direct people to my forum. Those versions are: http://domain.com http://www.domain.com https://domain.com https://www.domain.com www.do…

Oh, you’re already using a forum subdomain. You see this warning about SSL because the free Universal SSL certificate provided by Cloudflare covers only one subdomain level.

I will check this tomorrow, but what I don’t get is that everything works on Chrome and Safari, for example, but in incognito in Chrome, those 2 versions don’t work. So the certificate seems to be working, the one that Cloudflare offers by default. Or am I missing something here?

Or, since you’re using Cloudflare, you can also create a redirection from www.domain.com to domain.com; see this tutorial : https://community.cloudflare.com/t/redirect-www-example-com-to-example-com-using-single-d…
