I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing VERY slow page loads when editing a page in Wordpress and WHAT to do about it if we can do anything.

Even when I click from

I'm having problems with my computer slowing down on the WA as I'm doing my course. My iPad is experiencing the same thing. What's up with that?

It does appear to be slow at times. I have just learned to close and restart. It is annoying but I blame Century Link. LOL!

Upsgirl I just had my techy daughter exam the WA site and its slow because of the mass use of the servers. I'm rural so I don't have the highest internet speed like you all. I don't think this is going to work for me. I can't move further in the course if I can't build a website. What is your suggestion?

Well, actually, WA is above average...well above average. I have tested too. I watched every video studder and I made it. I have a rather slow speed. Yup, everything studders from Century Link...lol!
That's your call but you would be further ahead than I was.
You can continue.

Yes I have been. It may be due to the latest WP refresh. You can try a support ticket and they can check it out.

Yes have also heard plugins can slow down your site.

Thank you

Maybe too many Plugins.
Or
Maybe you should have one more to speed your WP up.
Its called - ZenCache (formely called Quick Cache).
If you already have this installed then obviously there has to be another reason.

I've not been having any problems. My computer has been slow, but I just cleaned it up and it's much faster now, so I wouldn't have noticed it if WP had been slow.

ok, anyone else?

I was wondering if it might have to do with me uploading a new theme that is really involved.

I have been having that problem intermittently for a few weeks now. Someone said that there is a lot of maintenance and/or upgrading going on.

WA Affiliate Program
Updated

I placed a link at my site going to my WA profile page (I used the affiliate link at the top of my profile page). I was told by someone clicking on that link that they could no

Hi Randy, the best way to see it first hand is to sign out of your WA account , then place the link in the url and hit enter, this will show you what the person should be looking at on the other end since they don't have an account yet. I have tested it and as autumn56 explained, that is what I have seen. Let me know how that works.

OK, I thought it should work this way but someone else told me she couldn't see my profile so I just want to see what other people had experienced .

Thank you both.

Normally they are able to see the content that they have clicked to and then somewhere in the middle of scrolling down maybe or depending on how long they are on the page the box pops up asking people to join. i think though that you can close it or read around it, at least sometimes i need to do that when im not on my computer and im clicking over to read something without logging in.

And also just so that you are aware, your profile and anything that you create you dont need to use an affiliate link to =), if someone comes in through your profile or through any content you have created it will count as your referral.

I tried to make a certain image and use it for my background on my site but I can only see it on one side of my site and it wasn't big enough to stretch across the entire page.

Hi Beards, have you tried using the search bar at the top? if you type in background images, search will pop up blogs, questions and some lessons :-) hope this helps

I know I did this in the past, but I set up a new email address for one of my websites and I would like to forward any incoming emails into my desktop email client, Outlook. Ca

Shawn has got you hooked up. He always beats me! LOL

Here you go :)

Now that was embarrassing!! I new I did it before, and WHY I kept looking right over the other "forward" tab is WAY beyond me.

Thank you Shawn

Hi Shawn. Thanks for your link. I was just about to search for this training as I set forwarding up ok on my first website and now want the same for my second. I think knowledge like this is 'use it or lose it'.
