Can't verify domain with txt dns record

[princevermapmd]

It has been more than 20 hours since I set up DNS text records on my domain but domain verification has not happened. If I check any 3rd party DNS checker, the records are showing in it, why is this so?

Re-verify that the TXT record is:

At the correct domain/subdomain

Exactly matches what the provider requested

Has no formatting issues

Use dig or a DNS checker to confirm:

nginx
Copy
Edit
dig TXT yourdomain.com
Then: Try clicking the “Verify” button again (if one is provided), or contact support with screenshots.

Make sure the TXT record is exactly as GitHub provided (no extra quotes/spaces) and that the host is correct often it should be github-challenge-USERNAME or @ for the root domain. After saving, clear your DNS provider’s cache (if possible) and try re-verifying from GitHub Pages settings. This usually triggers instant verification if DNS checkers already see the record.

If the TXT record shows up in DNS checkers, a few things to confirm:

TXT name and value exactly match what GitHub gave (no typos or extra spaces).

No duplicate or conflicting records.

Domain uses correct nameservers.

Click “Retry verification” in GitHub Pages settings — it doesn’t check constantly.

If it’s still stucks, contact GitHub Support with your domain
