Configuring Webstudio, Cloudflare, and Domain Setup

is there something we can improve in the docs?
https://docs.webstudio.is/university/foundations/publishing-and-custom-domains

@Oleg Isonen It would be very helpful to add that you need to set up a 301 redirect that forwards traffic from the www subdomain to the root domain at your registrar, as Jeremy documents above.

It would be good to clarify that publishing to the root domain in Webstudio (example.com) doesn't also set up a www redirect (from www.example.com to example.com). That's a separate step.

I kept trying to redirect www-to-root in the DNS with another CNAME record as I've always done (CNAME | www | example.com). I couldn't crack the www issue until I found the post above and tried a 301 redirect at Cloudfare. Old habits die hard...

Thanks @Jeremy

I made a PR for these changes a while ago actually.

uhh let me check

this one? https://github.com/webstudio-is/webstudio-community/pull/102/files

yep

pls try to not edit multiple things at once in one PR, so one thing is not blocking the other thing, e.g. in this case I wasn't sure about these changes https://github.com/webstudio-is/webstudio-community/pull/102/files#diff-a54ce97e26df8e6249c53678e7cb2021a5ab020d8a6b76dcaba760720b4300eeL1

where others could have been easily merged

one PR in ideal case fixes one thing

this is a general rule for contributing to any repository, making it dead easy to merge what works and discuss what doesn't

e.g. avoid drive-by formatting corrections in one file and changing content in another file in one PR, while content might be great and can be great, formatting changes might be not desired and now I am stuck with merging, because I have to pull your pr, pick the changes that work and disregard other pages, create a separate pr and merge

@Oleg Isonen , no problem. I'll keep that in mind in the future.
