How to publish a site with a weebly.com subdomain?

I'm on the free plan, now, to test out Weebly.  I'm impressed with the CSS and HTML options.

How do I publish the site with a weebly.com subdomain?

In Settings -> General -> Site Address -> Change, there is no option for using a weebly subdomain.

The option should be available for you @rrdesign What is the name of the subdomain you are wanting to use?

The subdomain would be rrdesign.weebly.com .

No matter what I click around the Site Address settings, this is what I see.  No option for a Weebly subdomain.image

What happens when you type in the full sub-domain you want? It should give you an option on the bottom of the popup to use it.

I don't see that option.  If you can provide instructions or a screen shot of what I'm supposed to be seeing, that would be helpful.  The screenshot I provided is the entirety of the popup that I see.

Oh - I think I see why. It looks like there's already a site using that address.

Thank you.  What was unclear was that I should type in the xxxxxx.weebly.com subdomain name after the 'https://www.' in the search box.    That search box seemed to preclude a weebly subdomain. 

Once I did type in the subdomain, there, after the 'www.' , I was shown options for domains and the subdomain.

Yea, it's not the most intuitive unfortunately. I'm glad the screenshot helped make it a little more clear, though!

I suffer from a similar problem:

I want to point my weebly site to my goDaddy domain, but I take more than 24 hours with no changes until now!!

my site: iccaccelerator.weebly.com

GoDaddy domain: ibda3.com

the DNS recoreds have been added successfully.

thanks for help.

Hello @mabdalqader You just need to set the site address and publish. Smiley Happy Please click on the Settings tab in the editor and edit the domain you wish to point to. After you save you will need to publish again for the changes to go live.

thanks for the reply, but two things:
1- the site name ibda3.weebly.com is not available on Weebly domains, is that matter?

2- I did change the site DNS records on my domain already but the site address should be changed in the Weebly to be ( ibda3.com ) before I can publish it, right?
also when I try to publish the site it asks me to upgrade to pro plan!

my question is can I publish iccaccelerator.weebly.com to a different site name ibda3.com???

The paid hosting plan is connected to iccaccelerator.weebly.com, but I see several sites in your account. Do you want to publish the custom domain to a different site in the account? Can you verify the site title/name?
