Duda
Publish articles for a Duda site with the Hosted Blog.
Grandranker doesn't have a Duda app yet, so you won't find it in the Duda App Store or as a Duda card under Integrations. To publish articles automatically for a Duda site, use the Hosted Blog: Grandranker hosts your blog on your own subdomain (e.g. blog.yourdomain.com) and you link to it from your Duda menu.
What you need: access to the DNS settings of your domain (at your registrar, e.g. GoDaddy, or in Duda if Duda manages your domain) so you can add one CNAME record, and a domain set up in Grandranker.
How to Connect
- In Grandranker, open Integrations and open Hosted Blog.
- Pick a subdomain, usually
blog. Never usewwwor your bare domain, because that's where your Duda site lives. - Add the CNAME record the screen shows (Host
blog, Targetcname.grandranker.com) where your domain's DNS is managed. Step-by-step guides: GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, IONOS, and more in the Hosted Blog guide. - Leave the screen open. It checks DNS automatically and switches to live once the record resolves and SSL is issued.
- In Article Settings → Publishing, turn on Auto-publish so approved articles go out without a click.
Link the blog from your Duda site
In the Duda editor, add a menu item named "Blog" that links to https://blog.yourdomain.com, then republish the site. Visitors move between your Duda site and the blog through the menu.
Publishing & Verifying
Every article you publish in Grandranker goes live on the hosted blog. Scheduled articles from the Content Planner go out automatically once approved.
Publish one article and check that it shows a live URL in Grandranker and opens on blog.yourdomain.com.
Troubleshooting
I can't find Grandranker in the Duda App Store
That's expected: the app isn't published. Use the Hosted Blog as described above.
The DNS check doesn't find my record
See the Hosted Blog troubleshooting. DNS changes usually show up within minutes, sometimes up to a few hours.
