I did use site kit previously when on the platform but this time round I'm using the SEO plugin provided, whether that's the same as your asking I'm not sure
Do I need to add a sitemap manually or will sitekit plugin generate one automatically?

Hey Benjamin,
When you use a well recognized plugin to create your sitemap that plugin takes care of all of your additional content... posts and/or pages. They get added automatically.
When you manually create and upload your sitemap, you will need to create a new one with EVERY post and/or page you add, in order to keep your sitemap updated.
So, your final decision is yours to make.
Personally, I much prefer automatic sitemaps.
SiteKit I removed from all of my sites ages ago now, due to it being such a drain on bandwidth and slowing my site's loading time down.
Once I moved over from the once popular AIOSEO plugin to Rank Math, I was able to remove 4 other plugins... of which Rank Math offers a sitemap too... making their SEO plugin an easy pick for me.
Hope you find this helpful.

I recently hired an additional content writer for my site from the UpWork service.
He's now created 2 articles that I think are quality enough to keep.

How did the post get published? Does your writer have a WordPress login, so that they can publish on your behalf? Or did you copy and paste the article to WordPress? If you copy and pasted, what document/format did they supply the article in? And did you paste including formatting, or as plain text? I know Jay is going to take a look for you, but if you would like a 2nd pair of eyes, feel free to PM the link to the post as well.
I just copy and paste it straight from a word document I download from him. docx. I guess I should be viewing it as plain text then, I think that would solve the issue. How do I copy it without capturing all the formatting?
Copying from Word will capture all of the formatting, but when you paste the content into WordPress you can choose "Paste as Text" and this will remove the formatting. You can then go through the article and format the headings.
Maybe I'm being a bit naive and don't know enough about outsourcing yet but surely as you paid for it then you can do anything with it.
So why not , simply copy the English text and images into a new article and post from scratch and then delete the original. This would probably get rid of those quirks that you are talking about.
i take it you check it for duplicate content
and check the html to see if there are any spurious bits left
it may depend on how they created it, which may have left behind traces - like word does....
the main thing to do is to check for originality and that you are happy with it.
it does sound like there is some hidden html left in there
i hope jay can sort it for you

All i've done is ran the content through a plagiarism checker and it passes. Also, a lot of the words which a grammatically correct, have squiggly lines under a section of the word, which is strange.
Hi, I believe should matter who is the freelancer and since you hired them, you can ask them directly as you own the work they've done for you.
And if they say no, it is within your right at upwork to withhold funds as work is unsatisfactory.

I had got a Premium Sale 24 hrs ago and I noticed that the aeroplane counter is still sitting at 298. Which I would think should drop to 297.
Maybe it is just a glitch
If all 3 are Premium possible it can be a system error maybe PM Kyle he will assist you. All the best!
Even though I had an email confirming the sale. I seen inside WA that it is in a pending state. So that's likely why it hasn't confirmed.
