I copied the code, pasted it into my SEO general settings. When I click confirm, my site header shows up and it says nothing found, so I can't verify it. What should I do.
Hey Donald,
Check to make sure you pasted your code in the correct spot, as that MIGHT be your issue.
In the All in One SEO > General Settings > under "Webmaster Verification" is where your code should go. See screen print below...
Hope this helps you.
Thanks for the help, Trish. I plugged it into the right spot. Still didn't work. I'm open for any other suggestions.

I'm assuming it can be a page shown in the main menu. Do we have to link to it for every post that has an affiliate link only or does it have to be linked on every page and po
@lakbar12 is correct. It's not enough to just have one page. You are expected to have the disclosure precede the first affiliate link on each page. I spent time chatting with an FTC lawyer at the recent Affiliate Summit and he confirmed all of this.
To my understanding it has to be linked to every post...I asked this same question and was told that FCC is not accepting just the page any longer.
Also form what I learned on Lawyer blogs they have to be on each and every post...
Here is a training about adding the disclosure Add an Affiliate Disclosure And here is where I asked the question and these are the answers I got... Do we have to use an affiliate disclosure? I hope this helps...
I am placing it on every post just to be on the safe side...

I'm still new with a lot of this, I've seen a few comments talking about a child theme. What's the difference between a child theme and a parent theme.
Try this my friend, and as the title says, takes 5 minutes. Peace. :-) Create a Child Theme in 5 Minutes
A child theme is exactly that. A theme derived from the parent so you can paste code snippets and modify font-size, colors, etc to the CSS (style.css) or make changes to the theme via the functions.php file.
This way, when your parent (main) theme is updated, your changes will still be intact.

A WordPress child theme is a WordPress theme that inherits its functionality from another WordPress theme, the parent theme. Child themes are often used when you want to customize or tweak an existing WordPress theme without losing the ability to upgrade that theme. In the past, there was no easy way of updating WordPress themes without losing all the custom styling and changes that you had made. This becomes chaos when all the sudden you find out a widely used script in popular themes has a major exploit, and you need to update your themes ASAP. It becomes a tough choice because on one hand, you would lose all the custom styles if you update. On the other hand, you risk your site getting hacked if you don’t update fast enough.
To solve this problem it was decided to introduce the concept of parent theme and child theme. A child theme in WordPress would inherit all the functionality, features, and the code of the parent theme without making any changes to the parent theme itself. This allowed users to change the styling of the parent theme and add/modify features without losing the ability to update the parent theme.
In theory, any WordPress theme can have child themes however not all WordPress themes are good parent themes. A parent theme with limited functionality and features is not exactly an ideal parent theme candidate in most cases.
A good parent theme also known as theme frameworks usually contains its own action hooks and filters. This allows designers and developers to create a robust custom WordPress site using child themes in a fraction of time.
Thanks a bunch Robert, there's a lot of great information in what you just said. I learned something new today.
Don
No probs and as long as the info helps you to understand the differences between the two then that's all that matters.
Robert
Hi Robert. I've just been reading your answer which is very thorough. Are you suggesting that we should create a child theme and then make changes to that one on our site?
Hello Gail.
No I'm not advocating that because it will always be up to the individual what they do first - parent or child and how to link them.
Read this article coz it will give you a very clear idea what to and how to with Child Themes.

When I checked my posts on line, my own name, email and website show up on all my posts in the comments area. Is that supposed to happen? I wouldn't think so.
You are the only person who sees exactly what you see. When I look at my posts my browser automatically fills in those details for me too. The email addresses don't get published on the website.
Thanks Marion, that's good to know. Hope your new year is everything you're hoping it will be.
