Can't figure out how to verify my squarespace website for brave rewards

Brave Rewards Creators

Hi,

I’m having trouble integrating my personal website (www.journeythroughmeditation.com) with Brave rewards. I’ve followed all the steps that I could find online, and still its not working. I keep receiving the following message:

54%20PM

I was told that to verify through squarespace, I have to use the DNS route. So I try to verify it here:

08%20PM
08%20PM626×564 36.2 KB

Here’s what I’m inputting onto my squarespace account page:

With www:

59%20PM
59%20PM755×495 24.3 KB

Without www:

24%20PM
24%20PM789×575 32.3 KB

I’ve been trying variations of my domain name input to no avail.

Let me know if I’m doing anything wrong.

Thanks!

Henry

dns takes a little while to propagate so give it about 48hrs then try again. Please don’t delete the publisher verification setup and retry cause it would get you a new TXT validation

I have waited 48 hours and that’s what the squarespace support said. I’ll keep waiting. But I’m just wondering if I did anything wrong.

@htbond,
Please let us know if this wait goes beyond the 48hr window and we’ll happily assist you in resolving the problem.

Hey there, it has definitely gone past the 72 hour window, so by this point I’m assuming I’ve set it up wrong.

I followed some instructions that I found online.

Please let me know what I can do.

Thanks!

Henry

send a copy of the publisher txt file they gave and the txt dns you did input I want to check if they match. also I would love to have your domain name to do a txt check online. just checked online and can’t find the txt dns record

Here’s the txt file that Brave gave me:

brave-ledger-verification=5beba68fa33a87ad18bc0ee22b7c423dbe75fa1acf7a092ef2b6e60a9ccc4917

I just copy and pasted that into my squarespace account page, so it matches there at least.

I’ve never used the who.is page before

Squarespace is a CMS platform. Does this change the process?

Here’s what the Squarespace support member said…

So, I just got a second set of eyes on this. My teammate said to let you know that we are a CMS platform and if you have code for a widget or something, you can use it with a Code Block. Is this something Brave Rewards offers?

Here’s more on Code Blocks:

I am in the same boat as @htbond. I am trying to turn on Brave Rewards for my Squarespace website.

@Dgenies @Mattches

I haven’t found a resolution to this issue yet. Can anyone help? Looks like another person is having the same issue.

@htbond I have been checking your sites TXT records still no record check with your domain provider and hosting service

12

@Dgenies What steps could I take to ensure that the record check appears? Who could I contact to make this appear?

@htbond,
By what method are you trying to verify your Squarespace site? With CMS, the best way to do this is by verifying via DNS verification:

Just checked on the domain and it looks like it finally propagated and verified
