I want to install social networks buttons on my website, how do I go about it?

I was not active for some months for some reasons. Now I have renewed my premium membership and my website is live. Though my posts are said to have been indexed by Google, searching them, the rankings on the pages I used to see them are no longer seen. Will they appear or they have to be ranked again?

No, your posts don't need to get indexed again. When you are not active for a longer period of time, it's quite normal that the ranking deteriorates, especially when your site is still pretty young . However, once you write and publish posts regularly again, this will soon improve. All the best to you.

As Sammy B has explained. Focus on creating quality content consistently and you’ll be soaring again

Thank you for your response. I will do my best.

I now understand, thank you and I will follow your advice

Fabulous go for it!

Hey George,

The following post may offer you the help you seek: Hope this helps you.

I have a tab at the top which is marketing. When I click it it gives me the social share. It could be a marketing plug-in.

Using a social plugin. I use Sumo, but there is a great variety of them. It's best to google for a list of best social wordpress plugins and then review them yourself.

How do I change the front image of my website word press theme to my chosen image relevant to my niche?

I changed my theme three times before settling on the one that really met my overall needs. I didn't lose any data but made sure my backup was recent too. I also keep copies of my article contents in my Google drive just in case I need to rebuild. Your images may need to be resized depending on how they fit into your new theme. I also had to recolor them to match my new theme.

Good luck!

Thank you for your helpful reply.

Hi Gbaluhi

Log onto your website and go into wordpress by clicking on the customize icon. On the say, you'll have the option to change your theme or the image. Hope this helps

Thanks Anita, what I don't understand is whether I can only change the image and leave the theme as it is, or if I choose another theme completely will it not affect my content, is there any precautions to take before changing?

You can just change the header image if you want.

If you change your theme, as far as I know, your content is safe but will be fitted into a new theme and might look completely different. I've tried it and when I wasn't happy with the new theme, I went back to the original one.

How do I change the header image alone? Does changing the theme completely affect indexing and ranking of the content?

In wordpress to the right, you'll find a box that says head image. Click on it and you'll be able to change the image. I don't think changing the theme will affect your rankings.

Thank you. Wishing you all the best.

The problem comes at the stage accepting the terms of service. Some countries do not appear. What do I do?

Hey George,

After doing much research on Google in order to discover a helpful reply... here is what may be your issue:
Google Analytics identifies country of origin using the users IP address. So... if you are visiting in the USA, and you are signing up for your tracking ID from an IP address that is assigned to that city/state/country, then you may not find your country listed.

If this is not your issue, the your only other option is to post your issue here: https://www.en.advertisercommunity.com/t5/Analytics-Solutions/ct-p/Google_Analytics and DO provide as much detail as you can... even a screen print may get you help sooner. Hope you find this helpful.

I published my post without using site content platform as I was not
aware of it. I have noted it is helpful for grammar, spelling, checking
for uniqueness of content e

Hey George,

I have answered your question under your first time for asking this question. Answers are not automated, so please, do not ask the same question within a short span of time like this. We are all trying to help each other out.

Hope this helps you.

Sorry! I am trying to learn and that is when some mistakes happen. What happened is that I sent 2 different questions in sequence within a short time and the second question was answered and I thought may be I have violated the rules and probably the first question has been skipped by the system and could not appear and I tried to re surface it, that when a mistake came in, It wont happen again, apologies!. Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate.

No questions are skipped George. We members in the community here try our very best to get to EVERYONE's questions as quickly as possible.

It's NOT a violation of the rules to post the same question more than once ... it's just not very fair to do so.

I do understand one's feeling of gaining an answer immediately ... so ... you're not alone.

When/if you feel that way in the future, try Google searching your question ... or ... if it's a training issue ... got to the textbox at the very top of this page and try typing in keywords to see if you can locate a tutorial.

You may have to try a few different keywords to find what you're looking for ... but ... once you learn to search for what you want to know, the sooner you can resolve your issue(s).

Hope this helps you.

Thanks, I understand now.

If my post feature the same article as the pages, is this also a duplicate content? Can it affect my ranking?

Hey George,

If you subject is the same but your title and content different, no ... it is NOT considered duplicate content.

If you copy and paste from your page of content shared already, to a post and publish that ... then yes, this is duplicate content.

Whether you copy and paste from your own website or someone else's, it is still duplicate content.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks.

I assume you want to add a post in the main menu. If so, the answer is no, it will not. You can have post in several places at the same time and it will always have the same url.

But if you want to make a separate page with the same text, then why? Just add the post in the menu as it is.

Yes, it will be considered duplicate content.

Then what am I supposed to do?
