I'm setting up a custon domain to work with Tumblr. I configured A-record and CNAME correctly, but it still isn't working.

www.whatsmydns.net shows CORRECT A-record and CNAME for Tumblr: 66.6.44.4 and domains.tumblr.com

However, when I go to my custom domain, I am getting some "Is this domain name yours? Click here to manage your domain!" and it is not pulling from Tumblr.

Any advice?

  • What is the actual domain name?

  • This sounds as though the new DNS records hadn't propagated yet, so you were still getting a previous landing page for the domain. Do you still have this problem today? Feb 27, 2014 at 9:51

The last time I used the term "DNS Propagation" I got rightfully downvoted off the internet... But DNS changes take a while to be refreshed through all relevant systems.

run nslookup yourdomain.com from the command line and see if it returns the tumblr address.

If it does not, it will either take time or there is an error in your configuration.
