I decided to give Pattern a try. Two days ago I did everything I thought I needed to do. I click Publish and it takes me to a "page not found" error. I type in my domain (which I just signed up for) and get the same message. I copy and paste the direct url for my pattern website (not my domain) and get the same error. How long does it take before anything shows up on the web? The only thing I can see is the page preview.
Has it shown up? It can take a little while for domains to propagate through the system. You should be able to type in your Pattern-given domain (I think it's something like yourshopname.patternbyetsy.com) to see your site. But at this point, it should be showing up, so that would suggest a different issue.
It still isn’t showing up and I’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to try to find who to contact. All i know is I looked for 20 minutes before and couldn’t find anything that would answer my question so I’m kind of dreading it lol. They sure don’t make it easy to find help 😕
thank you for your response by the way 🙂
I tried the patternbyetsy.com URL, and it brought me to your http://www.cactusranchdesigns.com. But it isn't working.
That's an odd one. The fact that it forwarded to your domain suggests that part is setup correctly.
You can double-check the instructions here:
After that, I think you need to contact Etsy directly.
