Hi @Asaf-Aviv

@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

Remove that wrong CAA entry.

blogggly.com has the correct entry.
