In the level two Certification Course, Kyle shows how to set up email. I have followed the video 4 times with no success. I create atmail account but get no mail when I run a te

I have some troubles with forwarding, too!

I'm having trouble with this too. I'm going to put in a support ticket. I can create an email, but not the forward. And I also can't get into my email. It keeps saying my username or PW is wrong. I think there's a technical glitch for some of us.

If you find out how to fix the problem let me know. I am curious about why I am having problems with this.

I just tested mine, so it's working for me. Did you write the email address correctly? I received the email instantly, so time should not be a problem.

Sure hope I wrote it correctly. I checked it many a time. Wondering if giving different one to domain registry would have any affect?

Hm. PM me your email address and let me send you something.

HI Natnaniell, PM has been sent

Hi Nathaniell, yes to both questions... have tried email over the course of several days and still nothing. So, the account is set up correctly, then the problem lies elsewhere....hmmm.... wish I knew more about computers and websites... maybe it is a problem specific to the website theme I chose?

There may be a slight delay in receiving emails. After creating your account, are you able to log in? When you create a forward, can you see it listed there in the email address section?

If you are seeing these things, then it's set up correctly.

received your email. Sent reply... but it is still "connecting" It has been several minutes....

Have you tried just making a forward and just dealing with mail via your regular inbox? If you use Gmail, you can send email from a different address, right in your gmail inbox. I actually can't find the send button and have never used the domain mail from atmail. Here's a training for linking your gmail to your domain email https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-send-receive-domain-email-via-gmail

or this one https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/use-gmail-to-check-and-send-domain-email

Thanks for the training links. I have saved them and will check em out tomorrow. I'll set up a gmail for my website and see if that does the trick. Once again thanks for the help.

I have received an email from wordpress telling me I have a ping back waiting my moderation. I kind of sort of know what a ping back is, but what do I do about "moderating" it?<

I just received a trackback but I deleted it and unchecked the two boxes that Nathaniell mentioned.

I have done the same Success Inc. I am glad I asked about this. Everyone has been very helpful.

You can also turn them off by going to Settings > Discussion and unchecking the box that says "Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)". I also uncheck "Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article " just so I don't waste other people's time when I link to them.

Thanks Nathaniell. I have turned both off.

I think the majority of us just delete them, it's simply an alert that someone has linked to your site, if you approve them then your site shows a link back to theirs, which can often be something less than stellar. http://codex.wordpress.org/Introduction_to_Blogging#Pingbacks :) Rich.

Thanks Rich. Great advice. I will check out the WP intro

How can I activate the link button in wordpress? I would like to use it but when I click on it nothing happens.

G'day Clenderfoot. Did you resolve the link problem, as I am having the same issue.

What's going on today?

Hi Diedre, just trying to link my email address in my about me section of my web page, and the link button isn't highlighted and won't activate to allow me to finish the final setup.

Okay...highlight the whole phrase...make sure it's all highlighted blue. Then, we are going to click on the chain link to INSERT/EDIT LINK.
A box will pop up. Delete what's in the first box.
PASTE YOUR LINK.
ALWAYS OPEN IN A NEW PAGE.
Save.
PUBLISH.
Now, VIEW POST!

Hi Diedre, yep tried that. Still doesn't work. For some reason my edit/link button isn't bold, therefore I can't activate it, even when I highlight my email address. I notice in Kyle's training that he just clicked the start of his email address and it highlighted the entire URL. Mine doesn't do that. I have to manually highlight the URL before I click on the edit/link button, so maybe this is the problem?

Mine isn't dark either...it's a light gray. The only way the button will work is if the text is highlighted. Please give me your link...I want to see...

We are going to do this right now...

Hi Deidre, here is my link.

darren@worldwaronehistoryandbooks.com

Thanks...okay, hang on!

I meant the url you want us to end at...so please send your site url and where in the site is the part you want to link...LOL!

Hi again! My URL is worldwaronehistoryandbooks.com/wp-admin. I'm trying to link my email address on my About Me page at the bottom.

Thanks for your help!

Your killing me..that's your login and password page. Hang on...let me crop something...

Okay...I believe you want the address to be mailto:darren@.......

Don't want to do that! Guess what, I just went back into it and it's working now! Thanks for your help on this, you can rest easy now!

Ok...cool! I am going to wait a few minutes and check it out.

It's all good to go! Funnily enough, the link button was bold this time, which is why the link worked. Not sure what happened here, but thankfully it's all good now, and I can continue on!

Helps to highlight first...LOL!

Honest, I highlighted the thing a million times. Sometimes computers can be temperamental.....

Make sure you're highlighting the text you want to link first. Sometimes, a sensitive mouse can unhighlight the words and when you click the link, it won't work. So watch it carefully as you're doing the ink.

I tried deactivating my plug ins and reactivating them but my link button still won't work, Can anyone help please?

First, are you highlighting the text you want to insert with your link?

I'm highlighting the text and then the image. Neither worked.

Hello...again...how are things now?

I think I got that fixed. Now my edit page is good but when I view the page it's all out of place and the lines are not straight like they should be. Any suggestions?

Can I see your link? Just copy and paste...thanks!

My link is http://makingalivingfromhome.siterubix.com

I see your site is up and running...that's half the battle! Okay, I see the words are jumbled...You're special because I have never seen that before! Are you certain you don't have extra spaces in there? Have you tried to backspace and/or delete? I am really hoping that helps because it hard for us to imagine what is really going on...know what I mean? I want to know...

Hahahaha!!! I'll let you know when I figure it out. Yep!!! I'm special alright!!!

LOL...

Hey sweet girl!!! I did it!!! Hallelujah!!! I realized that shortening the sentences to make it look like I wanted it to was what was causing it. I rewrote it with full-length sentences and it worked. I've still got a lot of work to do on it but that nightmare is resolved. Thanks so much for your help!!!

WHEW! I can breathe now! YAY! Keep going! LOL!!!

Thanks Daniel, I was doing it backwards I appreciate the help.

If you have some words that you want to link to an external page or link to another page within your site, you need to highlight the words first and then click on the 'insert link' button on the first row.
