Help with basic custom domain on Cloudflare Pages
Hello I need help with configuring DNS for my cloudflare Pages. I have a custom domain which I purchased from namecheap. I set the nameservers correctly and followed the configuration steps. Everything seems to be active on the cloudflare side as well. It's been about 24 hours, and I used a DNSChecker. The A record shows up but the CNAME's do not show up. The main site is deployed and shows up at the pages.dev url. This is what my examples look like. Please let me know what I can do.

I'm happy to help you with your Cloudflare Pages DNS configuration. Based on the information you provided, it seems like you've set up your nameservers correctly and have followed the configuration steps.
However, I'd like to clarify a few things. You mentioned that the A record shows up, but the CNAME records do not. Can you please confirm that you've set the CNAME records to "DNS only" (not proxied) in your Cloudflare DNS settings? This is an important step, as CNAME records need to be set to DNS only for Cloudflare Pages to work correctly.
Additionally, I'd like to refer you to the Cloudflare documentation on troubleshooting CNAME domain verification issues. According to the documentation (https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/troubleshooting/cname-domain-verification/), one possible cause of CNAME records not showing up is that CNAME flattening is enabled for all CNAME records or for that specific record. Please check your zone settings to see if CNAME flattening is enabled, and if so, try disabling it.
If you've checked these settings and are still experiencing issues, please provide more details about your DNS configuration, and I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot the issue.
