Hi! According to the Site Health analysis, you must have less than 5 plugins. But, this is not possible. I have now 7 plugins that are necessary (except maybe from the pretty l

I also have more than five, and not have had any problems.

You can ignore it however too many plugins can cause your site to load slowly which may annoy readers so I would limit to the ones you need

Thanks. The only one I do not need is pretty link...

Hello everyone!! I know I ask a lot of questions and I really appreciate your help!
What do you do with your spam comments? Are they harmful? Sometimes they look like norma

Delete! you don't want some spyware or maleware infiltrated on your website!

Absolutely remove anything that remotely looks like a spam comment. Both your readers and Google can identify them and it will make your site feel either run-down or abandoned.

Thanks!

If it is spam delete it.

Thanks!

Hi!!! Can you help me understand the differences between tags and categories in Wordpress? I haven't created any yet, should I create both?
Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Categories allow you to categorize posts in a broad way where tags lets you be a lot more specific. I usually apply 2-3 categories to a post at one time and add up to as many as 10 tags depending on how much content the post covers.

Thanks Steve!! Really helpful

Tags are additional key-phrases which you add in the box on the right in editor. So you can be ranked for each of them as well. Categories you use to make it easy for visitors to navigate through your site. Yes you should create both. They are meant for posts only. To use them for pages you will need a plugin.

Thanks! Both tags and categories are only for posts or just categories? You create one for each or you can add, for example, more than one tags or categories for one post?

Both are for posts.

3-5 tags is what I typically add, up to 10 in principle.

You can have same post in several categories.

Thanks a lot!

Authoring & Writing Content

Hi! I have seen in many sites articles to be both a page and a post. Like Wealthy Affiliate Review. Am I correct? Is that good? Is there a limit on how many articles can be bot

Hi Effie,

See here: An article can be a page or a post. It can't be both. Google doesn't like duplicate contents in your site.

Usually, I use pages for about my site: About Me, Disclaimer, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Contact and visitor-friendly sitemap.

For post: articles about my niche...

Hope this helps.

Blessings,
joy

Thank you all for your answers but I do not completely understand. If you see Kyle's website "waystoavoidscamsonline" he has the same Wealthy Affiliate Review as a page and as a post, as well as other articles. I wonder why...

I use pages for important topics to be covered in detail. Long lasting stuff. J

Do what you want but you may want to change the title a bit and not copy word for word. A page can be indexed in your menu under other pages. Post can not. John

You can only choose one. It makes no different to the search engine.
Those are press article and is different.

Can an article be a post and a page at the same time?

Hello Wealthy Affiliate! I have a question. Three of my first pages (the About Me, the Getting Started and the Privacy Policy) are written by "admin" and also my replies on com

This is the easy way to change Admin to your own name

Thank you Marion!

You sure can. here you go

Thank you for the training but I do not understand. I am logged in as Effie. I have username and a gravatar as Effie but those 3 pages say that they are written by admin, as well as the comments. I don't understand how to change that. Should I re-write them maybe and then delete my admin account?

No, do not rewrite them, just leave them as they are, you can not change the comments, but you can change the autor on the content.
To do that follow this:

In order to change the author of an existing post in your blog, go to your WordPress admin area > Posts > Edit. Click the post whose author you would like to change and find the Post Author section. From the drop-down menu choose the new author and then click the Update Post button to save the change.

Make sure you are signed in under your name for all future content and comments :)

Thank you so much! I just had to bring the author section from my screen options, I didn't have it, that's why I got so confused. Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it!! Now I have my name everywhere!

Awesome!
