When you go to your settings, to Custom Domains, it shows up there? How long ago did you connect it? If it shows there, highlight the url and right click and go to site or check it in incognito mode and clear cache and cookies.

It's weird. It's seems for me that as of June 2024, the 'Custom Domains' option in Google Sites is no longer there. I had the ability to do this pre-Squarespace, but not anymore? I'm the Super admin for the Google Sites, owner of the Google Site page in question, and also an admin on Squarespace... Hm.
@CarolsTechnologyАй бұрын
Did you check the admin in the Google Console permissions? support.google.com/a/answer/6399230?hl=en
@hellokaneАй бұрын
@@CarolsTechnology Yes. As I said, I'm admin for both Google Sites and the Domain Registrar, so permissions isn't an issue. I did figure it out though, but I'm not sure if I'm on an old iteration (I'm based in Canada) or if my steps will be rolled out eventually for everyone. My subdomain settings are now all in the Admin Console, under Apps > Google Workspace > Sites > Custom URL. It's actually kinda handy to have everything in one space, accessible from the admin console. All the subdomains are there, along with their respective target URLs. With this setup, the other thing I have to do is set up CNAME records the same way you've mentioned in your tutorial video.

Thank you for helping me get back to my drive, and my folders, and my system for finding things.

I love your comment! How you have to look at Google is that they have development teams for every single app which is always looking to improve on that specific app whether it’s Docs, Sheets, Slides and even Drive. I think these development teams are just trying to keep on doing updates to keep themselves relevant and to keep their product relevant to let the public know that they are always thinking about what they are doing. That’s why I do my videos to help the public stay on top of all the constant changes that are always happening. But I still feel we have to appreciate Google because of the free version and how a really great product it is .

My Google Site is a portfolio that took 200 hours to create. Now I find that Google removed the Publish / included domain they had when they first roped me into designing on Google Sites. I don’t have the time or money to get a paid domain because my job applications are due now. This will take several days and I don’t even have any confidence that all that organization and formatting will transfer over without having to redesign. Google’s “create domain name” feature is disabled but it is still there, so you keep trying and it tells you are doing it wrong. Google really pulled a sh*tty move with this one.
