Hi I was writing a post in WP when I found an 'eliminate distractions' button which temporarily removed the side bars and left me with the writing screen. Is there something li

Hi Diana, great post.

Hey Dianna,
I don't think there is anything like that in Site Content but in SiteConent there is just one blank page with no side bars for distraction. You write your post in SiteConent, post it then edit it in WP.

Hi Dianna
I am glad Sammy B had a suggestion for you .I hope that helps.

I don't think there is anything like that in SiteContent, Dianna. However, if you get distracted easily, another option would be to initially write your posts in a simple text document and then copy and paste it into the SiteContent form. I actually prefer doing it that way.

Thanks for the suggestion sammy

Awesome question, would like to know the answer myself.

WA Affiliate Program

Hi all, I've seen some members mentioning Wealthy Affiliate University. Is that the same as WA or are they different?

Hey Dianna, great question!

Years ago we branded WA as Wealthy Affiliate University, and there is/are likely websites and perhaps even content inside WA still referring to that.

So, WA and WAU are the same!!

Hi Carson thanks for clarifying that

Have noticed on some training sites that they call there programmes xyz University, think one or two members here probably think that we are. But too my knowledge, we are just good old WA, with the finest training around.

I think some older members refer to wa as wau.
But there is know university That I have heard of.

It adds the dimension of the excellent training1

I go to peoples websites and leave comments but my comments don't appear in the comments section. I don't think this is right and I'm afraid to tell people I have commented. Wh

Once the comments are approved by the website owner then they are visible.

Good deal Dianna. Glad your question got answered.

Thanks for explaining that guys. Now it makes sense.

Comments are usually kept for approval first then when they are approved they will show.
of course if they are not approved they wont.
Have a great Monday.

Hi Dianna,
Comments left usually go into moderation first, allowing the website author to review and reply before approving them. Once they approve, the comments will show up on the website.

Ok, I've found the problem. I'm not waiting long enough. I'm always been impatient in this way.

When I post comments, should I be able to see them on sites?

Authoring & Writing Content

Hi friends I want to post two photos side by side as a comparison in a 'how to' post. Does anyone know how to do this in WA or will I need something like photoshop?

I usually use Corel Draw, put the pics side by side, add any text I want and save it first as a .CDR extension (which is like a document so you can edit it if you have to) and then save it as a jpg or png so I can insert it where I want to.

I am sure there are lots more methods out there; I just happen to have Corel draw from a previous publishing career.

Suggest that a gallery sounds about right.

Hey Dianna,

Depending on how professional you want your image to look. You could use Gimp which is a free software similar to Photoshop and there are lots of tutorials on Gimp being offered right here on WA. See screen print below to see how to access them.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Trish, thanks for the information. So many options to choose from. Its great.

I use Elementor for multi colume page layouts

Whether you can do it depends on your WP theme.

But you can also consider using Canva which is a free online tool to create graphics and just create the comparison as an image.

Mikael

Thanks Mikael, I'll try WP first but Canva is definitely a site I want to learn how to use.

Thanks Loes, I'll look into that. I'm writing the post in sitecontent so didn't think of it.

Hi all, I'm currently doing the training on adding images to posts. I had no problem adding images, but I can't work out how to edit the image. When I click on the picture I am

Dianna, I just read the message you sent to "all" an hour ago. I am glad you were able to get to the edit to fix your image question.
Just ignore my last message.

Thanks for wanting to help Dottie. I appreciate having found a community full of such caring and helpful people.

OK all, I followed Pernilla's advice and changed from the Edge browser to google Chrome. Went back into my post on wordpress and the problem had resolved itself and i can now access the edit box. So the problem is with the Edge browser.
Thank you to everyone for your advice and comments.
Cheers Dianna

Great that it works now, Dianne.
So glad you have the problem solved.
I was just climbing the walls and pulling my hair out in desperation last week!
;-)

Hello Dianna,
I read the suggestions following your question about editing an image. They should be helpful. I was able to change my images by clicking on edit. It might be easier to delete it and then add it
back in where you want it.

Let me know how you get it working,
Dottie

I can't even delete it. I'm going to give it another try now. Thanks Dottie

Dianna, let us know if you are able to make it work. If you still have trouble, ask again for help. You might do best by contacting directly someone who has a lot of experience like Kyle.

Best wishes,
Dottie

Good question as we will be at this point soon. Thanks for putting it out there. Been reading the responses. Best of luck, and have a great weekend!
Colette and Philip

I had the same problem last week. May it be that you use the Edge browser? After the latest Window update I couldn't edit the images in WordPress. I changed browser and now it works like it should.

Then I suggest you to change to another browser: Chrome or Firefox.

Hope this helps!
:-)

yes I am in edge browser. I'll look into it. thanks pernilla

If you put the cursor over the pic it should give you the option to edit or delete and add new pic.
Best,
Marcus

Just curious if your issue was resolved. If so, would you mind letting me know how? I've had the same issue before.
Thanks,
Wendi

no not fixed last night try again today

OK. That's too bad. If you don't mind, and have the time, could you please keep me posted? I will return the favor.
Wendi

Hi Wenda, don't know if you saw my post below. I changed from microsoft edge browser to google chrome. When I logged into wordpress in chrome the problem was resolved and I can access the edit bar. Regards Dianna

Thanks so much for keeping me posted. I really do appreciate it.
