Need Help with Cloudflare DNS Configuration for Custom Domain with github.

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. I'm currently facing an issue with setting up my custom domain through Cloudflare for my GitHub Pages website. I've followed the steps outlined in GitHub's documentation and various online resources, but I seem to be encountering a problem with DNS propagation.

Here's a brief overview of the steps I've taken:

Added a CNAME record for the subdomain www to point to oliverferenczi.github.io.
Waited for DNS propagation, but I'm seeing crosses ("x" marks) when checking the CNAME records' status using DNS propagation checkers.
My A records seem to be fine, but the CNAME records are not propagating as expected. I've checked for typos, cleared my browser cache, and waited for a reasonable amount of time, but the issue persists.

I'm using Cloudflare for DNS management, and I want to use my custom domain www.soundaurora.com for my GitHub Pages website.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or has any insights into what might be causing this problem? I'd greatly appreciate any advice, suggestions, or steps I might have missed. If you could guide me through troubleshooting or share your experiences, I would be very grateful.

Thank you in advance for your help and support!
