Hello,
My domain is purchased via Webflow (managed by IONOS). The _webflow TXT record is visible globally on DNSChecker, but verification still fails with the message “please check the value of your verification key or check whether the TXT record has propagated.”
(In IONOS, when I click edit to remove the quotation mark from the TXT value, the quotation mark disappears. When I click save, the quotation mark appears again. I don’t think that’s the problem.)
DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to fully propagate across all geolocations as the DNS cache expires. While you’re seeing the TXT record in DNSChecker, some DNS servers may still be catching up with the changes.
For successful DNS setup, ensure you have the following records configured:
One A record with hostname @ pointing to 198.202.211.1
One CNAME record with hostname www pointing to cdn.webflow.com
The TXT record for verification
If after 48 hours your DNS records are live and pointing to Webflow but verification is still failing, we can help troubleshoot further.
Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.
Hi @egecoskun double-check that you didn’t delete the last character or add a space or anything at the end of your verification token. The quotes are normal in the display, you don’t type them.
If you’re sure it’s correct, your next step is to contact support.
