trying to setup a subdomain on the DNS dashboard
i tried as a A/AAAA and CNAME and get the same error:

An A, AAAA, or CNAME record with that host already exists. For more details, refer to <https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/troubleshooting/records-with-same-

this does exist:

CNAME
www
trust-graph.pages.dev
Proxied
Auto

but I can NOT use www.podskim.com

on the panel it shows as recommended steps:

Add an A, AAAA, or CNAME record for www so that www.podskim.com will resolve.

but the dashboard prevents me doing that.

how can i setup cloudflare to handle WWW subdomains?

Did you follow the guide to add a custom domain to pages?

Generally, it’s bad practice to have the same content available under 2 different names. I’d recommend to have a redirect from www.podskim.com to podskim.com instead of adding it as a second custom domain.
