Hello all, after installing AIOSEO plugin, my “All Post” page category when wonky, I tried everything from clearing cache, to restarting my PC and it’s still

Is your browser/device up to date?

Good question, it could be my browser. I will look into it. thanks Abie.

Please keep us updated on your progress :)

Site Support fixed the issue.
Thank you Abie, you're awesome.

That's really fantastic. I am truly happy for you :)

Have you been to site support yet?
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support

I just submitted a ticket.

Thank you.

You are welcome :)

It depends how it is distorted. For now disable the plugin and then see if it is still distorted. That will allow you to workout if it is thge plugin. Not all plugins are compatible with all websites. If it is that plugin delete it and choose another such as Yoast seo or rank math. If it isnt that plugin then we need to know what the distortion is, either send the URL or a screenshot

I disabled Yoast SEO, and enabled AIOSEO, I may have to switch back. I also have elementor pro installed, which I'm thinking of eliminating.
Hope the screen shot is viewable.
Thanks Catherine.

Website Development & Programming

Hello WA members,
I’m looking for a premium plugin to enhance the speed of my website.

I heard the free ones has lots of issues.

I’m thinking of WP

Kyle beat me to the answer lol.

If you feel you need to clear the cache you can use the cache system in your site manager tab under the Websites, located in the top menu bar.

Once you have opened the site manager, tap on the SitePlus+ that is on your website and it will take you to the website details, scroll down just a little and you can clear the cache.

I hope this is helpful.

Stacie

Thanks for your input Stacie, I think Kyle answered the question. I was referring to plugin for speed, guess it's sometimes called "cache" or cach.

He most definitely did. I was just showing you where you can locate what Kyle is referring to, and can clear the cache manually as well.

Stacie

You don't need a caching plugin, we offer much better caching automatically with any website you have hosted here. This is done at a server level, and performs much better than any plugin you will use (and is comparable to cloudfare).

What is your website, and what sort of speeds are you experiencing?

Thanks for responding to my question Kyle. My site is loading very slow, so I though a plugin would help.

Good to know I don't need unnecessary plugins.

Mel B

Drop me a PM with your website URL and I will have a look here. ;)

For my Amazon Associate program, should I had a new page to my site, build a new site and link the two.

Ow and just stay on course with the training.

Kevin and Son

You will be adding pages to your website. I would recommend researching and adding content to your website before joining any Affiliate Programs just yet.

Kevin and Son

I have lots of content, thank you.

As an amazon associate, you will be offering your product links in your blogs, a way to promote the product.

You wont need a new website.

Rudy

Thanks for your feedback Rudy, I will proceed with my present site.
You're right, a new website is not necessary.

You can work on your current website, as per your review posts. There are new terms with Amazon. However, you can use an API if you have attained three sales in 180 days.

You can use a new website if you are doing a different niche.

What are you looking to achieve here?

Hi Abie, thanks for your feedback; my site is digital products, and my Amazon will be a variety of products.

I haven't attained an API yet, but I think the present site will work for now.

Thanks again.

Mel B

Well, it is recommended that each website have ONE niche. Products and programs can be varied; however, they must all be relevant to the niche.

Having more than one may confuse Google and your visitors.

I realize that, for now I will keep to the Amazon products that fits my niche.

Thank you Abie.

Awesomely welcome :) Please keep us updated on your progress.

Hello everyone, I just started using the Hubs to post new articles,
however; when the articles are uploaded to my site,
the images size changes to very small, and also

I publish my article from site content. Then I go into WordPress and set it to a draft and upload photographs from the media section.
I find this the easiest way for me, but everyone will have their own preferences so whatever works for you.

Thanks Louise, I used to do it that way also, and it worked well.
It's possible elementor and WA Hubs are not talking to each other.

Possibly Melanie. Do you have a 'staging' website where you could test different options?
Site support can create one for you. I have one that I use occasionally so that I can test different methods without it affecting anything on my published site.

No, I've never heard of a staging site, sounds like a great option.
I will look into it.
Thanks for the suggestions.

It really is. That way you can trial any plugins etc and test different aspects without your published site being affected.
Keep us posted and you’re very welcome.

OGM, I contacted site support, and was instantly given a staging site.
This is awesome, thank you very much.

That’s fantastic to hear! They’re super helpful. Now you can test anything on your staging site without any worries.

You have Kraken by default for your block editor.

For Elementor

You can also use AI imagery.

Bing Creator, Text to Image app via Canva Magic Media, DALL-E via ChatGPT-4 (paid), Leonardo.AI (free and paid), and MidJourney (paid)



Thanks Abie, this helps, but I don't have an issue with finding the images.
More importantly, should I be uploading the articles directly to WordPress, and by-pass WA Hubs to avoid distortion?

I appreciate your input.

I do them in WordPress. However, it is totally okay also to do it in the site content.

See what works better for you.

You also want to keep the images centered and for mobile users.

Okay, thank you.

Np :) Please keep us updated on your progress.

Sure, will do. 👍🏻

You can access the site content area - website tab top menu.

Hello Everyone, It's been a while since I last published an article, however I finally published one today from Site Content, and it's still showing in Draft Mode.

Anyon

You have FANTASTIC responses here; I am glad you were finally able to get it published.

When you revisit your article through SiteContent, is it complete?

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/content

Content is in "draft" mode until you Publish it to your website, so that is the state it will be in.

If you have any further questions or issues, let us know. ;)

Hi Kyle, thanks for responding to my question.
Yes, the article was completed when I published it in SiteContent.

I placed it in draft for approximately 24 hours, then completed and published it.
However, when I checked the drafts area after publishing, it was still in draft mode.

I will have to spend some more time going over the Hub tutorials. and publish from there.

Melanie

Check your post in WordPress. If it is there, then no worries; there could be a glitch with SiteContent, but check your hubs to see if the green dot is there in your content. Your hubs should show your content. Mine did when I created it; look for Add Content in the second box in your Hub.

I could see it in the Hub, however it's still not publishing.
It's not showing in WordPress.
Could be a computer glitch, will try a different computer later.
Thank Brenda.

It might be a glitch. Yes, try a different browser or different computer. Sometimes, browsers can hang. Try Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or other browsers. Clear your browsing data and history so it doesn't hang, reboot the computer, or use a different one.

Success at last with a different computer.

Thank you Brenda for staying with me through this, you're awesome. 👍

Sure, you are welcome! I am glad it all worked out! Whew!

I am glad you got it figured out :)

Hi Melanie, have you created your Hubs yet? Now, all content is being published through the Hubs. If you set up your hubs, it will show a blue line that means published, with a green dot with your domain name indicating it is published. All content goes in the Hubs. This is where you spend the majority of your time there. To go there, at the top left of the dashboard, click hubs and create your existing website if you haven't done that yet.

Hi Brenda, thanks for responding to my question.
Okay, I will try it from the Hub, which I set up a few weeks ago, didn't realize everything is now being filtered through there.

Melanie

Yeah, it's incredible. That's where you should be going to Hubs. Everything is there. Soon, the AI Author will be available to you Premium members. We, plus members, are using it now as beta, so far, so good. I cant wait for premium members to get started with that.

Yes, that would be an awesome feature to have, and may help keep us on the platform longer ✌

I agree.
