If you use All in one SEO plugin for SEO then it should make canonical link for you. They help a lot to avoid duplicate content penalty.

The original post will probably get favored by Google and the second duplicate content may not rank. Better to avoid duplicate content, especially if you can re fashion the piece,

Just make them noindex if you're really worried about it, a canonical link will not help you in this case - those are for pages within your site that are so similar that they appear to be duplicate (say a template for daily progress, etc.).
Would it help the original author for her to make it a canonical link on her own site? Are you saying that it's not a big deal if I publish the article as duplicate content?
Thanks.
No, it wouldn't. Honestly, the only 'duplicate content penalty' is copyright infringement lawsuits, there is no such ranking penalty on Google because if there were, there would be far fewer sites out there.
So then google will rank the article on my site just like any other without any penalty to the original owner's site?
Yes, but it may not rank the same due to how Google interprets how it fits into the rest of the content of your site - it might even rank more highly for you than it did the original poster. Stranger things have happened, in my experience. If the post gets more engagement (comments), that will boost it over the original.

Hello all,

There is nothing to say you have to show affiliate links on your website, but if you want to earn money from your website you need to have something to sell or promote.
Derek
Absolutely Amy! There are many ways to make money from a website, and just because you are not going the affiliate route doesn't mean you can't ask questions in WA :) Keep asking!
Thanks, Nathaniell...! Very relieved...! Since the site will be hosted here I’m glad I can consider it part of the community. Thank you.
Amy, if you are hosting the website here on WA, you can absolutely ask any questions you want about it. It took ages for me to put affiliate links on my website anyways. We do not earn money only with affiliate links we can also do Adsense ads, building mailing lists and many more ways.
Have you seen Vicky's training: 6 Ways to Make Money with Your Wordpress Blog Wish you great success with your new project!
:-)
Thanks, Pernilla and thank you for the link -- I will check it out. It is easy to forget that there are other ways of monetizing a site!
My best --
Good afternoon Amy.
I fully agree with what Ange has said. You are a member of WA and therefore have access to all the things offered here.
You are the boss of your website and decide what you use this site for.
Greetings from the south of Spain, Taetske
Hi Amy
There are many other questions in many different topics that get asked and answered here just as equally as those about the affiliate side of things. The community here contains a wealth of knowledge from all aspects of running an online business and beyond. Your questions will be answered regardless of whether you have affiliate links on your own site or not. As it has already been said by Angie below, you may want to look into affiliate links down the track as one of the ways to monetize your site. But until then, hang in there and get yourself organized with what you feel you need to and the rest will fall into place when you are ready.
Best wishes for your success
Ange
How thoughtful and thank you for your kind words. I appreciate that and it's good to know I am on the right track. Thank you.
You're very welcome
I know it can all be a little overwhelming. Kyle has said in one of the training materials not to worry too much about affiliate links when first starting out. It will just take longer to see any money coming in, but if you are already aware of this and prepared to bide your time, it won't be a problem. I've been here a while and am still only on level 4 in the certification course due to huge time constraints, and I put affiliate links in early in the piece, but I sometimes regret it. Without the traffic, unless you can get someone (maybe a friend) to buy something from your site from any given affiliate program every now and then, you can get deactivated as an affiliate anyway. So getting content up to draw more traffic will then help you make affiliate sales.
Ange
If you want to make money from your site, definitely you have to think about adding affiliate links
Definitely! You can add affiliate links at any time you feel it works for you, or not at all if it's a site you don't want to monetize. Regardless, the community is here to help!

I am setting up a new website using the Hestia Theme, and in one of the customizable sections are icons that are from FontAwesome. So, when I click on the link t
Your training looks amazing but I wasn't able to follow it too easily because when I pop the code into the bar (see screenshot below), nothing happens.
I need to change 3 or 4 icons and doing it in the customizable area so not sure what to do at this point. Thank you!
Sorry about that -- here you go. So there are 6 areas that need icons like this one -- and when I try to copy and paste a code or just put the name of the icon into that fillable space, nothing happens. Thank you.
Hi, Amy, sorry about the delay but I've been pretty busy lately.
Have you placed the following code directly under <head> in the stylesheet's phpheader?:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.1.0/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-lKuwvrZot6UHsBSfcMvOkWwlCMgc0TaWr+30HWe3a4ltaBwTZhyTEggF5tJv8tbt" crossorigin="anonymous">
Without this code you won't see any Font Awesome icons.
Not sure where you want to place the icons, but you place them wherever you want in the text editor if you use the following code:
This is a smiley face
This would give you the following in you post or page (Image 1). Obviously you would change the attributes to whatever icon and font and size to whatever you want.
I haven't used that theme but I'm sure they all work similar.
If you want the icon to be part of your text or content, you can add that icon when you are editing your post/page.
Look for the tabs that say "Visual" and "Text". (top/right)
Under the normal editing screen (visual) click where you want the icon to be at, then click on Text and you will see bunch of codes. Just PASTE the code. ***DON'T CLICK ANYWHERE, JUST PASTE THE CODE. (Hint: for windows you can just press Ctrl+V)
Then click again on "Visual" and you should be able to see that.
Hope this helps :)
I see what you mean, but I'm not on a post. I am in the customizing section of the site. Here are 2 screenshots:

Hey Amy,
*** UPDATE 6 Nov 2018 *** Thrive Themes are no longer being sold to individuals, only their members. Sorry.
Here's one that I can honestly recommend as being fully optimized too: https://thrivethemes.com/local-businesses-one-page-website/
Hope you find this helpful.
I think it is all a matter of preference. I've received a lot of advice, but some of the themes that have been suggested just don't work for me.
Make it a creative week ahead!
Hey Amy,
Looks like you have gotten a lot of good advice!!! Hope you find something that works for you!!

Aha , themes themes and more themes! I have been playing around with Hestia. It is user friendly. Then some say Astra, Virtue and Extra are good.
Also use this if you see a good looking site: www.wordpressdetector.com . This will tell you what theme sites are using....or not using.
Astra ate all my content up as I play with it. Good thing the content remains inside WA's dashboard. Publishing it however in Astra...their sample site has dominated my whole website and my original content is thrown on the side as a blog. Now my content is nowhere to be seen but it remains in WA back office.
I am playing with a newer website with nothing but 2 articles in it.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Joe! I tried www.wordpressdetector.com but it didn't come up -- will have to poke around on google.... Thank you!
I really like these one page themes from Themeisle: Fagri or Zerif lite. Both have free and paid versions. https://themeisle.com/wordpress-themes/free/
Also Avada. Paid theme but comes with good reviews. Although this one is not technically just a one pager, it has professionally looking out of the box page templates that are easy to just make a detailed one page website. https://avada.theme-fusion.com
