    I have followed the instructions, although they seem a bit outdated for GoDaddy as a webhost as they do not support TTL values less than 600 seconds. The instructions in the right sidebar show to use TTL values of 300 seconds or less. The linked video instructions show a much longer TTL being used though, I think maybe 10800, but I don’t remember off the top of my head. What officially should I use for GoDaddy hosting?

    I removed all old _acme-challenge and _acme-challenge.www TXT records since my site is no longer showing secure and I deactivated the plugin. I deleted the plugin. I reinstalled the plugin and activated it. It will no longer go past the setup point of letting me choose “Which domain verification process would you like to use?” I keep getting the “LetsEncrypt API error. Click here to report an issue.” at the top which is just a secure https contact page to email SSLZen.

    Actually clicking the link for the Video Tutorial when doing DNS Verification shows a TTL of 1/2 hour being selected. Even in the 4 year old video, in the sidebar on the right it shows to use a TTL of 300 seconds or less, yet the person used 1/2 hour.

    TTL does not matter in this situation. We have fixed the domain verification issue, we are releasing an update soon.

    If you are using plugin version 4.5.3 or earlier, we recommend uninstalling and deleting the plugin. Then, install the latest version (4.6.0) and complete the setup process. This update resolves all previous issues, and both HTTP and DNS verification should function correctly.

    This helped me.
