Fix: dashboard keeps warning that DNS settings need updating
If your dashboard shows a "DNS settings need updating" (or similar "analytics needs reconfiguring") banner even though your domain is already connected and working, it's an informational alert, not an active error — you can dismiss it.
Steps
- Confirm your domain is actually working: check Store Settings → Domains shows it as Connected, and visit your store to make sure it loads correctly.
- If everything is working, click Dismiss on the warning banner on your dashboard home page.
- If the domain is genuinely not connected, follow How to connect a custom domain to your Dropify store instead of dismissing the warning.
Common problems
- Warning reappears after dismissingthis can happen if the underlying connection check hasn't fully caught up with a recent domain change; re-check the domain's status under Store Settings → Domains, and dismiss again once confirmed working.
- New merchant unsure what the "DNS settings" and "Custom events update required" warnings meanthe DNS one refers to connecting a custom domain (see How to connect a custom domain to your Dropify store); if you haven't added a custom domain yet, this is expected until you do so or you can dismiss it if using the free subdomain intentionally.
