A/CNAME Records
Can anyone help me find how to do the following: (Add an A, AAAA, or CNAME record for www so that www.violetlobo.com will resolve.
"Add an A, AAAA, or CNAME record for your root domain so that violetlobo.com will resolve.)"
I know where to add this information, however, I am not entirely sure what to write under the A/CNAME records...
new to this, sorry

if it helps, I purchased the site name from Namecheap and my code is on Github
What web host are you using? Github Pages? Cloudflare Pages? Netlify/Vercel? None?
I'm using Cloudflare pages, it's linked to my Github
If you want your Pages project to be shown on your website at root and resolve that error, Navigate to your Pages Project -> Custom Domains -> add your domain
magic link: https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/pages/view/:pages-project/domains
is there anything else I should do at this point?
adding a redirect from www -> root/apex isn't a bad idea in case someone tries going to it: https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/how-to/www-redirect/

like this?
also, I see that there's a CNAME, but no A record... is that okay?
yup, it's proxied so CF flattens it to A/AAAA records when queried
Looks fine, you need the record for
www though that it asks forsorry, I'm not sure what you mean... I should change "www to root" -> "www.violetlobo.com to root"?
no, the bulk redirect stuff looks fine. See the second part of that guide, step 6, where it asks you to make the record? Did you do that?
hmm, okay I believe I've entered the second part where the first part requires it
