Steps to reproduce

Setup a custom domain and try to visit it.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes

Expected result

Setting up a custom domain should be a simple straight forward process but too many directs error persists even when there are no redirects setup in Cloudflare or Obsidian Publish settings.

Others had the same error going back three years but no fix was provided Cannot get Obsidian publish to work with a custom domain - #3

Actual result

It’s already described above, too many redirects.

This solution worked for me, although I also toggled it “off” before before “flexible”.

EDIT: I deleted the CNAME and re-added it, then set my certificate to flexible then changed it back to full and now it works! Spent an hour trying to fix this, and it took all of 10 seconds to fix it. I have no idea what happened though.

After doing that and renabling the page rule as above everything started working within 15-20 minutes. It’s not clear if this is a Cloudflare problem or an Obsidian problem but this turned a 5 minute job into an hours long nightmare.
