This domain is currently not using Cloudflare nameservers, so no setting in your Cloudflare account can act on the domain.

Nameservers:

NS11.WORLDNIC.COM
NS12.WORLDNIC.COM

You first need to change the namservers to the pair you see in your Cloudflare DNS page… then we can work on any issues that arrise from there.

I transferred it back to the previous settings. Going to test a few things first and then change it back.

Ok so anyone else know?

I have my A name set up to point to my FQDN and then IP, proxied thru cloudflare.
I have my CNAME set up to point to www and then to the FQDN, proxied thru cloudflare.

When I hit the site via a browser I see the cloudflare IP but chrome says “ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS”. I dont see a Cloudflare error like 521…not sure if anything else needs to be configured A name wise or ???

Make sure that your SSL/TLS encryption mode is set to Full (Strict):
