If you already cleared the browser cache and tried again, you can also try another browser. If you are using browser weighed down with various plugins or add-ons, your browser could be slow, or even infected with malware.

Testing on another browser will let you know if it's a browser issue or something else like an internet connection issue or a computer issue.

Hi Nathaniell,

Good to hear from you. I've cleared the browser cache and the website cache within WA. It didn't fix it. I contacted support and they said it worked fine from their end, so I thought it must be my computer. I've just opened it from another computer at work and it is still not loading, so it is not my home computer.
I'll contact support again and see if they have any other ideas.
Do you have any other suggestions?

You didn't say if you switched browsers.

Also, are you just looking at a specific page, or trying to log into your back end? If you try to log into your website without using SiteLogin from inside Wealthy Affiliate, there are some issues with that.

No I didn't switch browsers, I just cleared the cache both in windows browser and WA: Websites > Site Manager > Details > Sitespeed > Clear cache. The same problem is there from another computer.
I am logging in through the site manager in WA and all of the posts and pages have the same problem.
Snapshot of message attached.

Site support just solved the problem. It was the AIOSEO plugin causing the problem.
I deactivated it and it fixed the problem. It needed updating so I reactivated it, updated it and it still works. I've never had a plugin needing updating stop it working before.
Thanks for your help. I'm back in business!

Glad you figured it out Greg!

You may need to empty the browser cache, refresh, and try again. Try the URL in a different browser or mobile device.

You can also empty the servers cache.

Hi Abie,

Site support was able to find the problem. They detected the AIOSEO plugin was causing the problem. They said to deactivate it and try again, and it worked. So I updated it and reactivated it and it's working still. I'm back in business. Thanks for your help.

Oh wow! That's so wonderful :) Thanks for the update.

I installed Google Analytics GA4 by following Jay's Class 1 'Installing Google Analytics (GA4) & Search Console' and used the Site Kit method and it is installed, but when

It takes a bit to get data provided you have visitors.

I had Universal Analytics and have the traffic, and have set up GA4 about a week ago using Jay's class, but it is still not collecting data. I've googled the question and I'll follow some tutorials online. Hopefully, I'll find out where I went wrong. Thanks for your help. I'll let you know when it's up and running.

Hey Greg,

If you have waited the allotted time that Google stated to see the data collected, it might be a step you MIGHT have missed.

Asking Google your question... well... it looks like you're not alone, given the number of helpful tutorials that are available online to help you. See screen print below...

Hope you find this helpful.

Hi Triblu,
I think it must be a step I missed because it's been about a week since I installed GA4 in Jay's class. I've Googled the question and am working through a tutorial. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks for your help again.

are you having visitors - if not then it is not able to collect data...
if you are having visitors then why not install burst statistics plugin - a local method of collecting data and check it against your google analytics...

Hi Feiner,

I do have visitors but it is not collecting data. I'll try your suggestion of installing the plugin. Thanks for your help.

if you know you are having visitors then you can check the status of your tag....
if you goto admin and click on datastreams ...
then click on hte tag , ti will open another window and show where it is collecting data from....and you can sort of diagnose any issues....
i hope you get it sorted...although the plugin may give you enough info and you can ditch google analytics - keep seearch console though...

I installed the Site Kit plugin when installing GA4. I see it is giving some basic data. Maybe I should try the Burst Statistics plugin.

ga4 now works at least 48 hours behind...
so the data will only be accurate two days ago...
what data are you looking for...

Mainly the number of clicks weekly, pages landed on, top performing posts, and locations traffic is from. I see I'm getting that from Site Kit, so if I can't get GA4 set up, at least I'm getting a simplified version in Site Kit.

I can't log into Search Console because it wants me to verify ownership of my website.
I've read all the instructions but I get stuck when it comes to copying a Meta Tag int

Hey Greg,

There is a plugin for headers that you can use... see screen print below.

If you add your header code to the theme itself it will be overwritten with each update you do to your theme... and you WANT to keep your theme updated.

So, adding it to the header of your theme is NOT a good idea.

When you use a plugin to install your header code, it will be much easier for you to keep track of what all you've added to your header... PLUS... you can update and change your theme anytime WITHOUT losing the header codes that you've added.

Hope you find this helpful.

Hi Triblu,
Thank you, it worked! I installed the plugin and pasted the code in the header. Thanks for your help.
Greg

Hi Abie,
Thanks for your help. I followed the link with the different methods and used plugin method so that it is retained even when changing the theme as Triblu mentioned.
Greg

Has it been figured out?

Yes, I have access to Search Console again. It worked.
Thanks for your help.

Wonderfully beautiful :)

It says it should go in the <head> section before the first <body> section

WA Affiliate Program

If you have affiliate links to Amazon US and receive checks in US dollars that you deposit into an Australian bank, you will not be able to deposit them as of January 2022. Ama

Hey Greg,

Please send me the government website that states that Australian banks now refuse to honour US cheques starting in January 2022?

In searching the internet for this topic, I have found nothing, and I'm shocked (and a bit horrified) to learn/think that any country would ever pull such a stunt as this.

Feel free to sent the URL in a private message to me, and Thank YOU in advance.

Hi. I haven't had that from any government website, but my own bank ANZ has told me that they won't be accepting US checks after January 31.
I phoned all the other major banks: Commonwealth, National Australia Bank, Westpac, plus a few of the smaller banks to open an account, and they all told me that while they accept US checks at the moment, there is talk that they will soon stop accepting them. NAB will not accept US checks under US$2000.
For the last few months when I deposit a US check they give me a Lodgement letter and the check is posted back to the US and takes up to 6 weeks to clear.
It seems paper checks are on the way out.

They may well be on their way out... paper cheques/checks... but without an official announcement, I cannot believe that would be legal.

In Canada, you can literally scan a cheque and deposit it that way, so there is no touching of the cheque by their staff. So, hopefully Canadian banks will NOT be following suit with Australian banks in this odd behaviour.

I mean... what about seniors in Australia who have family in the US who send them money for Christmas... so, your bank will refuse cashing a $100 US fund cheque... YIKES?!

I have a letter from ANZ saying they will not be accepting checks of any foreign currency as of 1/2/2022.
I will check out Payoneer as other WA members use that. Hopefully, Amazon will pay into it.
Amazon will direct debit to dozens of countries, but not to Australia.
Thanks for your help.

Hmm, I sure don't! That's CRAZY!

Jeff

I use Payoneer for that. You can create free bank accounts in many countries and let your affiliate merchants pay out on them. From your Payoneer account you can deposit it to your own regular bank account. You could check if they work in Australia too.

Thanks for that, I'll check it out.

Hi

It is a long shot, however you could have a checking account open in the US, and have done this way.

From there upon, you may transfer it however there's charges associated.

And must maintain banks minimum account without getting monthly charged for example Wells Fargo would require $1500 US maintained in the account.

Other banks may have a different settings or set of rules, you'd have to follow up with the financial institution.

Yes, I may have to investigate opening a US bank account, but I'm not sure I can do that while living in Australia.
Thanks for your help.

You can, even if you do not live in the US.

You need your ID, a credit card and a utility bill however again I check with the bank and their requirements.

Thanks for that. It's another option.

There's always options, hope you are able to figure something that's practical to your situation.

Kindly let us know how you get on.

Hi Abie. Will do, I'm setting up Payoneer today, others recommend it.
