Hi @Asaf-Aviv

there is a check of your domain ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=blogggly.com#caa ):

There you see the problem.

Domainname flag Name Value ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
www.blogggly.com 5 issue blogggly.com 1 0
blogggly.com 5 issue letsencrypt.org 1 0
com 0 no CAA entry found 1 0

Only blogggly.com is allowed to create certificates for www.blogggly.com.

Letsencrypt isn't allowed :wink:

Remove that wrong CAA entry.

blogggly.com has the correct entry.
