I have been trying to get this website setup as a personal portfolio project and I keep hitting this wall, I am not sure what I'm doing wrong as this is my first attempt at this. Ive set the A and CNAME records per what WordPress told me to, but it still isnt working, is there something I am missing? I have the basic plan of WordPress.com and free plan of Cloudflare, if that matters. Thanks to anyone who can help, and sorry for the mobile screenshots
You need to speak to WordPress.com/support. This is a hosting issue, unrelated to WordPress.
Please read the sticky post if you’re unsure of the difference.
