πŸ”— My withme.so Link Isn't Working β€” Here's How to Fix It

If you've shared your Hub link (e.g. withme.so/yourusername) and it's redirecting people to the WithMe home page instead of your Hub, don't worry β€” this is almost always a quick fix! πŸ™Œ

Before we dive in, let's clear up a common mix-up: your standard Hub link (withme.so/username) and a custom domain (e.g. shop.yourbrand.com) are two completely different things. If your withme.so link isn't working, it's a platform-side issue β€” not a DNS or nameserver problem.


πŸ” Step 1: Check Your Username Is Set Correctly

Your Hub link is based on the username in your account settings. If it's missing or has a typo, the link won't resolve.

  1. Go to Creator Dashboard β†’ Settings (gear icon in the sidebar).

  2. Look for your Username field. Confirm it matches exactly what you've been sharing β€” no extra spaces, hyphens, or typos.

  3. If you make a change, hit Save and wait a minute before testing the link again.


βœ… Step 2: Make Sure You Are NOT logged In As A Creator

Your Hub link will always show you your Creator dashboard when you're logged in as a Creator.


🌐 Step 3: Test the Link Properly

  1. Open an incognito/private browser window (this avoids cached redirects).

  2. Type your full Hub link: withme.so/yourusername

  3. If it loads your Hub β€” you're all set! πŸŽ‰ The earlier redirect was typically a browser cache issue.

  4. If it still redirects to the WithMe home page, move to the next step.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: If you previously visited the link and it redirected, your browser may have cached that redirect. Clearing your cache or using incognito mode is the fastest way to check!


πŸ†š Hub Link vs Custom Domain β€” Know the Difference

This trips people up! Here's the quick breakdown:

  • withme.so/username β€” This is your standard Hub link. It's managed entirely by WithMe. If it's not working, it's a platform-side issue (username, publish status, or a temporary glitch). You do not need to touch DNS settings or nameservers.

  • yourbrand.com or shop.yourbrand.com β€” This is a custom domain you connect separately via Creator Dashboard β†’ Settings β†’ Domains. Only custom domains require DNS configuration with your domain provider (like GoDaddy or Namecheap).


πŸ†˜ Still Not Working?

If you've confirmed your username is correct, your Hub is published, and the link still redirects in an incognito window β€” this is typically a temporary platform issue on our end. Message us in the chat and we'll sort it out for you! πŸ’¬
