That would keep a plugin from accepting a valid license key?
Hi - could you say which plugin it is - it's likely there are memebrs here who have come across it, and will be able to say if it's worked ok for them or not.

Is there any setting in wordpress?
That would keep a plugin from accepting a valid license key?
Just found the answer from support. Here it is for anyone that might have the same problem in the future:
"WA does not allow plugins or themes which require time to time outbound connections to remote servers, but we can check if the plugin requires only one time activation and enable it temporarily if the plugin fits into policy."

I've been working on this page, http://thomwofford.com/rawhide-is-bad-for-dogs-not-always and would like some feedback about it. Especially concerning the video. Does it load
I really enjoyed the presentation of your article! I agree with Dennis that you may want to try to exclude the last frame at the conclusion of the video so potential customers do not stray before purchasing. I left you a comment. Christa :)
Okay, so seeing I am off work for a few weeks due to a torn hamstring injury (the motorcycle was just too heavy for my older leg) and seeing I am going in for a heart cath (angiogram) on Friday I've got some time to be on Wealthy affiliate. Yay!. I watched your video. I use Firefox and Chrome browsers mostly. I first was on Firefox and the video was slow and jerky. I have high speed so that should not be a problem. I suspected Firefox needs an update. So I went to Chrome. Completely different. Fast, fluid,entertaining, I like the way you finished off the text at the end and the music was appropriate. Good job... Good enough to interest me to read all the text underneath and I currently do not own any pets. There is only one thing I do not like. At the end of video the video frame switches to many different videos about dogs, and things I have personally recently viewed. Being a person who gets easily distracted that could get me away from your page. I wonder if there is any way to freeze the last frame showing an invite to order product or read the text below and then order product so one is not distracted by other video offerings.
Thanks for your comment Dennis. I would like to get that stuff at the end of the video off too. After I made the video I downloaded it to my YouTube channel and embedd it into the web page because I couldn't get it to load into the page from the WordPress "add media" link. I'm going to have to play with it some. I also modified the video a little because there was some inconsistent punctuation in it and I added some colored text. Going to see if I can get the new version to load straight from my sites WordPress library. Hope your recovery goes well!
I like the fast drawing, always think that is kind of neat. It loaded fine for me. Good information. Don't have dogs anymore, but good to pass on to daughters that do. :)
I liked it and can't add to the comments already here apart from it being a bit slow to load. I am in a rural area so it probably isn't a problem for fast broadband connection. :)
Thom, I like the video, was great for me.
It held my attention and was informative.
I stopped giving my dog rawhide about 3
years before I lost him because I believed
it gave him worms. Thank you for sharing.
The video is cool; my only comment is towards the end; the green graphics at the top of the last page are a bit hard to read. I would change the color. I like your musics. Very upbeat and energetic!
Thanks for checking it out. I don't particularly like the way the green shows up either. However, I already published the video so would have to go back into the program to make an edit. It's an experiment so all of the feedback I can get is helpful.
Well, that is not bad to have that be the only issue. How hard was it for you to work out the etch a sketch? I think those are pretty cool.
It's all pretty automated. You just type in the text you want and add the sketches or pictures and the program does it for you. Getting it all laid out is the hard part. It took me about 4 hours to get that thing set up and published. Once I get the hang of it I think I can pump one out in about 30 min once I know what art work I want to use.
Easy Sketch Pro. You can get it at http://easysketchpro.com. I just went to the website and it's still $39. There are some artwork upgrades and whatever if you want them but even with those for a total of about $100 with the upgrades you are getting a lot for your money. If you have another source for art work and pictures you don't really need the upgrades.
Thom, I'm going to be honest with you. I have no interest in the subject of your website, I don't have a dog, I'm not buying rawhide chews.
I was a millisecond from hitting the Next button. But, out of respect for you, I went to your website, read the headings (still no interest) scrolled down to the video. I hit the play button I saw it was one of those white screen videos. I put it in full screen mode and watched it to the very end. Mission accomplished.
If I were you, I would move that video above the fold on your page, don't give a visitor the chance to miss it. It's very good and very effective.
If I were me (and I am) I would order that white screen program for myself. ;^)

Thanks Phil. I can give you a link to order it if you want. I'm not an affiliate so I won't be breaking any WA rules. But, that doesn't mean I won't become one. It's a good program and the price it right!
Thom, thank you. I have the link, just not the time to order, or use, right now. Cool program, great price.
Yes great information. I really like the video. It held my attention. I left a comment on your site :)
The information was fantastic! I have a very avid chewer in my family and she is addicted to her raw hide chews. Everything was very interesting and well presented. Being a huge animal lover, I would suggest that you insert a picture of a dog right at the top close to your title. I like the one at the bottom of the post but I am sure that picture will draw your reader to read even more quickly if it is one of the first things they see. Good luck!!

Or are Google Drive or Drop Box etc. better:
I just use the Tools, Export feature and save a copy of the file on my desktop until the next time. It's very simple and works for me. Good Luck, Thom!
Thanks Carla! That's easy enough. Once it's in a file on my computer it should get backed up by Carbonite.
It's an online backup company. It costs about $50 a year and they back up most everything on your computer at whatever frequency you tell them. Just go to carbonite.com to get the specifics.
Hi - FTP is File Transfer Protocol.
It's the way you transfer files across networks (eg. from your computer to your website).
Google Drive and Drop Box are repositories - so you can use FTP to transfer files from your PC to them (or you can drag and drop them, using their respective interfaces).
If you are looking to backup your site here - you can either use FTP to connect to it, and download a copy of your site (not including the database) - or you can use WP Backup to regularly copy your files across to your google drive or DropBox accounts.
Here's a tutorial on how to do that:

I just used the seo analyzer on bing webmasters to check to see if my site home page thomwofford.com met Bing's best practices guidelines. It said I had six h1 tags and I neede
Wish I could help, but I am so frustrated with Google Analytic s, and Bing right now. Google says they can't find my site map,etc, etc...:
Bing accepted it right away, but says I can not access SEO section???
I do not know enough about this, am totally frustrated with the two;
If they physical things right about now they would either go out the window, or I would take a hammer to them.
I know they are necessary but I am giving up on figuring them out and winging it.
I have wasted more time than I would like to admit trying to get it all figured out.
Maybe when I learn more I will gain the understanding on how to get it straightened out, but for now. I is Not Going to Happen!
I know what you mean. I spent about 2 hrs. this morning trying to figure out what was up with the h1 tags. I decided I'm not going to worry about it for now and concentrate on keywords, content and monitizing pages. If I keep getting crazy messages from Bing I'll take it to Kyle or Carson to see if they can give me some feedback.
By the way, I emailed you just a few minutes ago about the AMSOIL info. Just give me a call after you look at it. Will be easier to explain over the phone than back and forth vial email or private message.
This is Theme issue, you can go and play around with theme files or go with more SEO friendly theme
I guess my real question then is, will I be penalized by Bing if I don't change it since it's the theme rather than me trying to beat the system?
Not 100% if it is a myth but in my opinion it is not good having more than one, especially if Webmaster tools point it out.

If I want to have more than one call to action to the same affiliate site can I use the same link more than once per page.
Yes you should be able to use about 2-5 links per post depending on how much content you have.

Yes, that's why I asked which plugin, glad you got your answer!
