Yes, I had some database problems

So First create Account in freeflarum

Then set it up then go to forum settings in Freeflarum homepage Then you will see something Like this


Now open the Vpanel and Come to CNAME Records

In the Place of Record Name Enter the Sub-domain and In destination enter to which they mentioned to CNAME


Now enter your custom domain name and Click Save

Should i rename the nameservers to ns1.epizy.com and ns2.epizy.com normaly my nameservers are pointed to cloudflare nameservers

Is your domain added to your account? if yes then no need.

You know what’s the best… coding your own forum if you’re experienced enough.
