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.
