Have you set up your custom domain on Kajabi using the "Create subdomain for Kajabi site" option? Did you choose to connect a subdomain with "www" in the URL? You'll likely want to set up a forwarding rule through your domain registrar to redirect the URL without "www" to the same site.

After creating your forwarding rule, enter the URL you've forwarded into a browser to check that it worked as expected. It can take up to 48 hours for a redirect to apply, so you may need to test again later if you don't see an immediate effect.
