In the developer dashboard I have a "Homepage "URL" already listed for my already published extension. Then today I noticed that the "Official URL" was "None"... so I clicked on the word None and a dropdown list of sites appeared including the same site I have as my extension's Homepage URL (oddly with a forwardslash at the end)... anyway, I selected that URL and clicked "Save draft". I then noticed the words appear "Why can't I submit?". When I click those words a popup appears with "The official website was not valid" but no clue as to why it was not valid. 

My website is up and working (with https) and I have verified ownership 
of it (checked with google search console). So where do I go from here?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,

Would you be comfortable sharing a screenshot of what you're seeing (both the URL and the warning)?

Thanks,

Thanks for sharing that - something definitely looks amiss.

Would you be able to fill out the One Stop Support form if you haven't already, and share your case ID afterwards? The team there should be able to help.
