Let’s encrypt SSL is not activating on my domain on FlyWP

You have to ensure your DNS record is pointing to FlyWP provisioned server and DNS is updated worldwide before Let’s Encrypt can issue SSL certificate for you. If you’re using Cloudflare to manage DNS — make sure you’ve selected SSL mode to Strict, and then try re-generating the Let’s Encrypt SSL on the FlyWP end.

DNSChecker.org is a simple and powerful tool to check DNS records across multiple servers worldwide. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it:

  • In the input field at the top of the page, type the domain name you want to check. For example, enter example.com
  • On the right side of the domain input field, you’ll find a dropdown menu labeled “Select Record Type.”
  • Click on the dropdown and choose the type of DNS record you want to check (e.g., A, MX, CNAME, TXT, etc.).
  • After entering your domain and selecting the record type, click the “Search” button to initiate the DNS check.
  • The page will display a list of DNS servers from various locations worldwide, showing the DNS record values retrieved from each server.
  • You can see if the DNS record has propagated correctly across all servers or identify any discrepancies.
  • Ping Test: Check the network latency to your domain from different servers.
  • Traceroute: View the path that your data takes to reach the domain.
  • DNS Propagation Checker: Specifically see how DNS changes are spreading across the internet.
  • Propagation Time: DNS changes may take some time to propagate globally. Use DNSChecker.org to monitor the progress.
  • Record Consistency: Ensure that the records are consistent across all servers to avoid any potential issues.

This simple process allows you to effectively verify DNS records, ensuring your domain is set up correctly.
