All things Shopify and commerce
I currently use a subdomain for my store.
For example, store.[domain_name].com. This domain works and goes to my store.
When I go to www.store.[domain_name].com, I get an error that the site is possibly not secure and that the domain is misconfigured.
Additionally, when I go into the settings to my store, I see this error stating that "Your domain has no CNAME record"
I currently use Bluehost for my hosting. Here is how I have my DNS records set up.
Can someone tell me how to correct my DNS records so that I no longer get the errors that I mentioned above?

There was nothing on that page that helped me, which is why I posted in this forum.
Your response does not refer to any of the information that I provided regarding my issue.
The screenshot you shared states that there is no CNAME record present and I can see in the other screenshot of your Bluehost settings that the CNAME is entered incorrectly. As stated above:
The guide above states which records you need to add to your DNS records via Bluehost to rectify the issue.

That solution does not work for a subdomain.
