We have not been able to verify your authority to this domain. Error 12. Please follow the settings instructions




Blogger just enabled domain switching and after a long delay of "Maintenance in progress - Domain Switching Disabled" and as I told you about my blog which I bought a domain for www.cashinformant.info, I was unable to link to my new domain from blogger dashboard rather I saw "We have not been able to verify your authority to this domain. Error 12. Please follow the settings instructions".

I need to check my DNS settings and configuration but to me they are correct as it is on instruction page.

I was worried for long time, precisely a week now and I was thinking it was the maintenance that caused this.

I thought to myself "I will wait for more two weeks" until I got the urge to look for solution yesterday and I found it out.


Many people are still looking for help on this, so I decided to write this article if you are one of the people who are in the same problem.

The problem is actually from the new DNS setting for Blogger which was one before but now it has turn to two.

The former DNS setting or configuration was Name: [www] and Destination or Target: [ghs.google.com] and you might have inserted this on your DNS Management settings and you still get this error message.

You need a personal DNS or I will say it is Personal DNS verification code from blogger/google.

So how do you get this code?

Solution: We have not been able to verify your authority to this domain. Error 32. Please follow the settings instructions.




Since google/blogger enable the domain switching option, people had been facing one problem or the other and one of this is "
We have not been able to verify your authority to this domain. Error 32. Please follow the settings instructions."

Are you facing this same problem? Here is the solution to tackle the general problem caused by changes in google/blogger DNS Settings.

Solution
If you know how to set up your DNS configuration to point to blogger, you will know that we only use one CNAME, which is Name: [www] and the Destination or Target: [ghs.google.com].

Update: Domain switching enabled on blogger today

domain switching enabled in blogger




Finally today I checked my blogger dashboard and found out that the domain switching had been enable 
Past few weeks now, blogger who just bought new domain including me were worried about the trending topic on blogosphere "Maintenance in Progress - Domain switching disabled". Many had been asking me when all this shit of a maintenance gonna end..

Since, i was worried too, i always check my blogger dashboard if the domain switching has been enable, and to my ultimate surprise today, I found out that custom domain can now be switched.

Only what i am experiencing right now is a little difficulties in switching my domain which i presume that it might be due to the maintenance.

Sure, I know this will affect a lot of domain registrar. So if you are unable to switch your domain yet i.e. if you are still seeing this type of error message "We have not been able to verify your authority to this domain. Error 12. Please follow the settings instructions." after you've set up all the necessary settings; then you will need to wait for more days for google/blogger to look into that issue. Hope that wont be another trending topic on blogosphere.

Pals, cheers now and start switching your domain.

What to do if You see Maintenance in progress - Domain switching disabled in Blogger



 I bought a new domain http://cashinformant.info for my blog http://cashinformant.blogspot.com from lovinghosting.com and after setting up all the necessary set ups needed. I decided to go back to my blogger dashboard and just insert my domain and boom, what I saw is "Maintenance in progress - Domain Switching Disabled". The first thing that comes to my mind is OMG, I have tampered with something on my blog. I thought it is my new template I uploaded just of recent. Then I decided to check my other blogger blog dashborad and I found out that it is the same thing.

Maintenance in progress - Domain switching disabled.

Immediately, I search for it on google and found out that the problem does not start today nor is my blog has fault and it is up to a week now and I am not the only one facing that problem. "I would have checked before buying the domain" I thought, but I later realised that this is just a technical error from blogger and they are taking care of it. This will soon be resolved and everything will be back in other.

So no fear and I will update it immediately it is resolved.

If you are planning to get a domain, you can wait it is resolved but if you have bought domain just like me. Then you need to wait till it is resolved.

Keep checking here, As I will keep updating you on the new development.
