Core “Business Start Up” Training

Every time I watch a training video, I can barely hear it. I have checked to see if it was my computer and checked all settings, and I can hear just fine on YouTube and other s

It's just fine hearing, no issue at all

I always use headphones with their own volume control and never have any issues.

You can hover over the webinar and unmute. Otherwise, check your volume settings.

No issues here.

Hi, Chet

In addition to the volume setting for your computer or mobile device, there’s a volume slider on the webinar video window that should be all the way up.

You can always plug in a set of headphones and that should solve your problem. 😎

Rock On!🤘

Hey Frank, how is it going? Yepp, that's the only way I can hear them is with my earbuds.

I will recheck the slider. Maybe I didn't check that, but I thought I did.

Maybe it's just old-timer's syndrome, LOL.

Thanks, Chet

Haha, it sounds like you’re doing pretty good to me, Chet! 👍😎🎸

Maybe you should turn on the closed captioning and start reading like I do. I cant hear the sounds so I can't help you with that. If the sounds don't work, there is a square bar that you open full-screen then click volume up or use the CC feature

I was curious if anyone else is having problems with the Generate Press theme seems like there is some issue every time I turn around.

I have a few issues at the same t

I use Astra and find it easy to use. Though, I haven't used it for complex design and aesthetics.

Hey Chet,

What is it about GP that you find difficult to work with?

Every time I've had an issue with their theme, all I've needed to do was a simple Google search and almost always, there's a fix offered on Google page one.

For the times there has not been an easy to find fix, I would put in a ticket and their tech support has been exceptionally quick and helpful with a fix.

Hope you find this helpful.

Hey Trish, the problem is my title is not visible. So you can see it is faint.

The only way it is legible is to highlight it.

Then when you go to the bottom of the post, it is plain as a day like it should be where it belongs, LOL.

I have had other issues ever since I changed to that theme.

Thanks for the advice. hope you have a great day!

Chet

Did you change the default colour for your titles?

Have you gone to the GeneratePress platform and put in a ticket asking for help with this issue?

If not, I recommend that you do. I'm certain you will love how quick they are to help you fix whatever issue you are experiencing.

I was every bit as frustrated with GP at the start. However, I now believe that most of my frustration was in how the new WordPress block editor works... which is frustrating enough of a change on it's own.

Changing to ANY new theme can be frustrating... if you let it be.

But with GP, you don't have to guess. Their tech support is truly amazing.

Hey Trish, Thanks for the heads up. I will try again, but I didn't have much luck with their support. Maybe I was asking in the wrong place. I will go back and try again.

Thanks, Chet

Here's where the forum for their support is, Chester: https://generatepress.com/support/

Thanks, Trish I will surely check and see if they can help me figure it out.

Thanks again for your help.

Chet

Hi Chet, there is Schema which I use. Kadence and Superb. All fast for SEO. I too having trouble with GP. I dont like it too well.

Hey Brenda, I hope you are doing well. I think I will make a change to Kadence.

I noticed not only the title of my post is not legible.

But it printed out on the bottom of the post crazy stuff.

Thanks for your help,

Chet

Sure, you are welcome. Kadence is simple. I wish you the best. I am playing around with it myself. I suggest you ask Site Support to set up a staging site on your domain so you can play around with it while leaving your current location with GP. You can install and play with it, tune it, and get it to where you want it then you will do the move feature. That's easy to do. I am on a staging site. Playing with Kadence and another theme, Superb, I will decide what to use after feeling comfortable.

Years ago when I had an author website I was using Astra and loved it. I wasn't doing anything fancy with it, but it worked well just the same. I will likely give it a try on my next website once I'm ready.

Regards,

Jason

I test it first before buying in because that can be expensive.

You want to make sure they are responsive, extremely light, fast, well coded, SEO optimized, flexible, adaptable and customizable

Hey Abie, thanks for the information. I am trying to fix things on GP.

It has slowed me down in producing content.

It is crazy it is putting the title of my post after the post.

I will look into Kadence sounds like they are similar.

Thanks, Chet

I now use Kadence theme. The free version is as fast as GP and has much more tailorabilty built in.

I particularly love the Acabado Theme. It is only available as a paid theme, however, it doesn't have a yearly fee like most paid themes, and I can use it on all my sites.

There are plenty of better themes than generate press but they are usually paid themes I use thrive themes but I pay for it

Fourth vote...site support would be worth contacting.

Thanks, Susan. I have done so. I appreciate it.

I hope you are doing well!

Chet

Great to learn, Chet! I’m well, thanks. Hope you are, too.

I have around 30 websites, with maybe half of them hosted here at WA. I never use Site Content, preferring to work directly within the WordPress platform inside my sites.

Hey Phil, I haven't been writing the site content for some time, but I was trying to use it for notes because I was having so much trouble and didn't want to lose content research and lost only my title. Everything else is there. Strange.

Thanks for your help. Chet

Hey there, I recommend you write your copy in a separate program and always keep what you write in a safe environment and keep saving your file intermittently.

Also, stop using site content to write your content.

Go straight to your WordPress website>go to your post and create or edit them there.

Get familiar with WordPress, I remember that you were having an issue with your title yesterday. Maybe writing it in site content within the WA platform might be the issue; Just go inside WordPress and do it all there.

Hey Silently, I appreciate your help. I used site content to keep notes, but that backfired on me.

What is weird is that it is gone in SEO analysis as well. I figured it would be in there and rerun it because it scored well.

Guess I am not supposed to use that title, LOL.

I have contacted support maybe get it figured out.

Truthfully I have had problems ever since I changed themes to generate press.

Thanks again, Chet

Hello Simone, I guess that is what I need to do. They are usually very good at bailing me out. Indeed, I wonder if I am the only one having problems, though.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Chet

Third vote...I concur as well...grin.

I concur with Simone, Chet. Site Support here is very good! Click the Help tab above and put in a Support ticket with them.

Hey, Jeff hope you had a great day. I have checked with support. Maybe they will figure it out.

I am sure that something positive will happen, Chet!

You have a GREAT evening too!

For the last post, I used a block editor; I did not have this problem. When I type or insert the title to my post, it is so faded you can't read it, but you can highlight it.

Hey Chester,

Seeing as no one has been able to assist you with the suggestions that most of us asked in order to help you with this... then your next best step would be to put in a ticket asking for help from SiteSupport... to see if they can track down the issue.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support

Bet it's something really simple as I've "been there done that" with so many tiny issues using the WordPress block editor.

So, I do appreciate how frustrating this newfangled option that WordPress has added, can be.

However, hang in there and once you get the hang of it, you'll find it easier and easier to work with ...and, you may even be surprised at how professional your website will look once you master their block editor.

Hope you find this helpful.

Have you looked to see that your not using a lighter shade of color?

-Mike

Hey mike, thanks for pitching in. I have an off-white background with back type should be fine.

Thanks, Chet

It could be a theme issue. Have you tried to change, you may have gotten a different result.

You may head to Appearance> Customize and check your options there.

Kindly let us know how you get on.

Hey Abbie, I thought about that seeing as I have not had that much success with generate press.

I like the theme, and several people here use it. Maybe something happened when I installed it.

Thinking about it, support had to restore part of my content that was lost in the process.

Plus, my box for comments is still not working correctly either can't see the type; it is faded.

Right now, the comment box color has changed to black somehow, but even with a white background and black print does not work.

Thanks, I am starting to think the theme might be part of the problem.

Chet

might have to do something with the color selected

post it, and check it in the front end. If the front end is fine. don't worry about it. Else it's the color being selected

I just went online to my last post, and it s faded also did not know it was as well, but it wasn't before this was crazy.

As far as the color, it is back on white. It is just faded. I can highlight it in the editor.

You can see it on the cover page, though.

Thanks, Chet

depending on your theme, you control the colors of typography in different areas. Your best option is to google how to change my post title using "type: your theme".

when you google it word it right though. I didn't word it right***
