Hello. I’ve built my react-app using create-react-app and made a seperate branch using gh-pages. The app worked as intended using default URL of [ronnehag.github.io/react-portfolio](http://ronnehag.github.io/react-portfolio). Repository is [here](https://github.com/Ronnehag/react-portfolio) I bought a .com domain from godaddy and changed service to CloudFlare. I managed the DNS as following, > Points to: > 185.199.108.153 > 185.199.109.153 > 185.199.110.153 > 185.199.111.153 > CNAME www [ronnehag.github.io](http://ronnehag.github.io) I then added the domain [fredrikronnehag.com](http://fredrikronnehag.com) in the gh-pages branch settings, which created the CNAME file with that domain. However, browsing to that address only results in a blank page with the correct page-title. I tried removing the CNAME and put it in the master-branch, that defaulted in the .com address leading to the readme.md, so the routing seems to work there. In my package.json I added the following lines, ```auto "homepage": "http://ronnehag.github.io/react-portfolio" "scripts": { "predeploy": "npm run build", "deploy": "gh-pages -d build", ``` And built the app through yarn deploy. Any suggestions? ---

Hi Fredrik The url ([https://fredrikronnehag.com/](https://fredrikronnehag.com/)) works for me, screenshot below. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/freecodecamp/original/3X/2/7/278fb4c34fa408c0aee1c04c66c6061f78024b3f.png) Assuming you managed to find a solution? If not, it might be something as simple as a dns cache in your browser stopping you seeing it correctly. Try clearing that. Your site looks great btw 👍 Hope that helps 🙂 ---

Yes, it’s working now. I had to change the “homepage” in package.json to “[http://www.fredrikronnehag.com/](http://www.fredrikronnehag.com/)”, as well as readjusting the routes for the router to match that url. Thought the homepage was where the files were hosted, not to the custom domain. Thank you! 🙂 ---

Hey Ronnehag, Just wanna say thank you for your post, I’ve been trying to figure this out for a night until stumbling upon your post. It finally works! What works for me is: change the “homepage” in package.json to `http://www.[my-website].com/` Go Daddy - Points to: 185.199.108.153 185.199.109.153 185.199.110.153 185.199.111.153 CNAME www [my-username].github.io And the one last KEY is under my github repo/ setting/ github page, I change the “custom domain” from `[my-website].com` to `www.[my-website].com` Although `[my-website].com` will forward users to `www.[my-website].com` but I still need to put the second url with the www in the “custom domain” for github page to work It sounds stupid, but it finally works! ---
