Forwarding URL with Page Rule breaks web app (Wildcard)

Dear Community,

I’ve been struggling for days to get the following wildcard Page rule to work.

Page rule:
URL: *.domain.com
Forwarding Destination:https://app.domain.com/$1

The problem is that it also forwards “www” (CNAME) so it breaks my main website.

Is there a way to get the page rule to ignore the ‘www’ subdomain or is there another solution?

(Extra: I have SSL/TLS encryption mode to “Full”)

Welcome to the Cloudflare Community. :logodrop:

In Page Rules, the first match wins, so you can add a higher priority rule for www. Use a setting that matches your global settings and it should do nothing more than become ineligible to another Page Rule.

Thank you so much! I’m not sure what you meant by using a setting that matches my global settings, so I just selected “Always use HTTPS” as the setting. It worked. :muscle:
Thanks again, stranger!

If you already had Always use HTTPS set globally, that’s what I meant. It won’t actually change any setting, but since it matches, it means it won’t be eligible for subsequent rules.

I’m glad to hear it’s working. :partying_face:
