SSL "Pending Validation (TXT)"

Getting Started
#1

Hi, I added 2 domains to my account, they were both displaying “ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH” when trying to load the site with HTTPS.

After a bit one of the domains started working fine and I see on the SSL page/“Edge Certificates” the working one says “Active” under Status, without any action from my part, but the other one has been stuck on pending validation for a few days now. I added a TXT record to my DNS as implied but it didn’t help, I also tried disabling Universal SSL, wait for it to clear then enable it again as advised in other similar threads but it has not helped.

What could be wrong?

#2

My domain has been locked on "Pending Validation (TXT) for days now, only a specific one, others are ok, but there is nothing apparently wrong with my DNS or any other settings as compared to the other working domains. All have a SSL from LetsEncrypt and their SSL is working fine. The domain with problems is a .ws, maybe that’s an issue for CF?

Almost 2 weeks later still nothing and no reply from support. I have added several websites, all of them work fine except for this one with a .ws domain
