Hi Brenda, hmmm not too sure what you mean.
I used to be able to access the symbol but now, if I deliberatly make a mistake it brings up a box and will show the error in red and allows me to change it but I can no longer access the symbol to show me any underlined words where fluency/ grammar needs attention.

Did you zoom out of your browser? I will show you a screenshot of what it looks like when you Zoom out. Yes, you are right; it does not move to the paragraph like before; it stays on the bottom. It won't move. That is what I do not like. It stays on the bottom, it changed the color to gray let me screenshot it to you.

I tried zooming in and out and tried a different browser. Ironically, the symbol is visible as I type this!
Wondering if it's an Apple Mac issue?

I use an Apple Mac myself. MacBook Pro M1 and M2 model. I was using Chrome see my Chrome browser screenshot 1,

Screenshot 2 I zoom out on Chrome finally it shows up I can see 2 errors but it stays at the bottom and it corrects for me then I click rewrite for clarity screenshot 2

Yes if using another browser it will work, Safari doesnt work well with it so I use Chrome or Microsoft Edge, then it shows up.

Dont use Safari with Grammarly it doesn't work well. Now that's the culprit maybe?

Your first photo shows the symbol so it's still accessable. Mine shows the very top of the circle but I can't click on it.

I'll try Microsoft Edge. I'm currently using Safari so it could be the problem.

Even if I make a deliberate mistake, the symbol keeps spinning and I have just completed the self-diagnostic test which doesn't show any issues.

Try Chrome or Edge. Safari and Grammarly don't work well together. I can't see it at all; it stays stuck, and yes, circle spinning happens on Safari, but on Chrome, it's very lowly visible. I can't click on it until I zoom out on Chrome. All of my editing is done in Chrome or Edge with Gammarly Premium but not Safari, so avoid Safari for now.

I've just downloaded Microsoft Edge, and I have a floating Grammarly logo, so all looks to be working well. It must have been a Safari issue.
Thank you very much for your help, Brenda!! :-)

Sure, you're welcome! 😀

Thanks, Catherine, one of the recommendations within the Page Speed Insights was to convert jpeg to WebP for better compression so I'll look into this too.

I think that that is the way to go it solved my issues

Thank you :-)

Hi Diana,

Thank you, I’m currently running the resmush.it as my theme isn’t compatible with Smush.
Page speed has improved although not perfect ( especially on mobile) as there are always other issues such as JavaScript!

Have you considered changing the theme? I know it's a pain in the ...😁, but if it creates other problems for you, maybe it would be the ideal solution to avoid wasting time. Anyway, I hope you find the optimal solution for you.

Yes I have considered it but I have so many posts and pages now from over two years worth of work that I really won’t have the time if certain things don’t function properly, so the majority of my page speed index is green, it’s more the performance and accessibility on mobile that I’m trying to reduce, but I’m getting there.
Thank you for your help :-)

You got this!👍Have a great week ahead.

Many thanks! You too! 😊

Hey Frank, do be aware that social media platforms still need the other types of images as your featured image in order to display your featured image when sharing your links to your posts on their platforms.

I made that dreadful mistake after spending days converting my entire business site to using only the WEBP format. NONE of my posts were being displayed properly on LinkedIn or FB .

That's when I went back to using jpg format, and then manually compressing my images using TinyJPG dot com ...and then having them further compressed when uploading the images to my site that has Kraken installed. Kraken Image Optimization Now at Wealthy Affiliate Using GeneratePress for my MMO, personal blog and the blog section of my local business has worked WONDERS for my site speeds.

And, GeneratePress has allowed me the freedom to display smaller sized images at larger sizes on the site, without causing the images to pixelate.

Kadence works perfect for my main pages of my business site and it's PERFECT for creating landing pages too! So, now I use Kadence on my hobby site too.

Hi Trish

Yeah, great point!

The WA blog editor also won't load WebP files.

I don't manually convert images to WebP.

I save my image files in my WordPress Media Library as mostly JPEG and some in PNG. Then, I let the Imagify plugin serve them as WebP. If it can't serve them as WebP, it will serve the original (JPEG or PNG) format.

Imagify will compress JPEG and PNG image files much more efficiently than Kraken.

Imagify also selects the file format according to the user's browser, as some browsers (very few) still can't load WebP.

So, I'm always good, no matter where I post images. If I disable or delete the Imagify plugin, everything gets served in JPEG and PNG.

Most content delivery networks allow you to set up the same workflow.

I don't use Kadence. I use GeneratePress Pro with GenerateBlocks Pro to build great landing pages.

Frank 🎸

Ahhhh... in THIS case... that makes your Imagify plugin VERY valuable!

Yes, I too use GeneratePress PRO... though I did not state that as such. 😉

Hi Trish

Check out GenerateBlocks Pro. It's a very lightweight page builder that is super easy to use. 😎

I love the support for both their Pro products!

Frank 🎸

I tried GenerateBlocks PRO and ended up asking for a refund. Found it far too difficult to work with... though, you're so right... the GeneratePress support team are amazing... but then... so are the Kadence support team.

Good to know, Trish. I might check out Kadence down the road. 😎

Frank 🎸

I looked at that one as it came up as a good one but it's incompatible. There is 'reSmush.it' available.
Could I try that one perhaps?

Yeah you can according to this resource

Thanks Abie. :-)Will see how we go with this one. Was using Optimole for a few days but it was slowing my website down.
Have also tweaked a few areas on my front page for faster loading.
It’s definitely a trail and error game.

Try EWWW image optimizer :)

That’s a good shout. Will take a look at that one too :-)

Np :) I am working on my site, too, lol - I just finished designing the contact form and testing it - All okay :)

There’s always something to do :-)
I had to delete my form as there was a conflict with the plugin and site support said I needed a code from the plugin developers to fix the issue.
Never had a response so I’ve added my email to posts instead.

I think I remember :)

The joys 😄

:)

Hi Trish,
I’ve given up attempting to put any code anywhere as it’s just not having it. I’m now trying to remember how to put the form just as a static form on my domain page, any ideas as I can’t remember?

I’ve managed to add a static form to my front page again. Don’t know why the code version isn’t working, but I’ve given up now!
Thank you for your help :-)

Why are you giving up... don't throw the towel in yet, Louise... not until all issues have been checked, checked and double checked.

Bets it's some simple step you are overlooking... I've been there, done that!

Sending you a DM... okay?

I imagine it is a small step that I’ve missed.
Currently have a static form for now but definitely want to chat next week to see if we can resolve this issue together.

Thank you . Just taking a look now

I agree with that Abie!
;-)
Richard

Why the <body>?

That was the instruction on Aweber

Right I see :)

:) Cheers Richard.

Yes all sorted thanks Abie. I had to resubmit details within the WP Mail server.
Still a little intermittent with receiving a notification email when I fill in my contact form to test it but I think I’ve fixed the problem :-)
It’s been a week of them! 😬

Okay, that's good to know, Louise! I appreciate the update.

Hi Dave,
Interesting. I have no idea how long my form hasn't been working for or if we do need one. Site support is assisting at the moment.

Site Support has asked me to go into the MAILER section and add a few details. Can't find that at present so I'm waiting for a response.

All fixed! I added a few details to the MAILER and realised after a few attempts that I was trying to send a test email from an external email address and not my website email! Finally fixed.

Excellent, Louise.
Onwards and upwards!
;-)
Richard

All working except I'm still not getting a notification from my online form. I'm not sure if it has to do with the emails I have added. How do we find out what our website-specific email is?

I'm not online right now (using phone) so from memory:
go to Websites in WA and Site Manager. In site manager click Email in top menu...
:-)
Richard

Perfect! Thank you :-)
Managed to get one contact form notification through. Think I had conflicting emails for send and receive.
Will try again tomorrow and see if it’s still working 🤞

Hi Trish,
I reached out to site support and they said to contact Aweber which I have done, so hopefully I’ll hear back in a few days.
It’s weird because the form is working but shows there’s a problem in the back office.

You may need to provide them with access to you WordPress login then, Louise.

Thought I should offer you that 'heads up' as it could be a conflict they are unaware of and would need to investigate.

I've currently removed the widget and used a block editor instead. The only thing with this is that it's a static form on one page instead of being added to the sidebar.
Trying to figure out how to add a pop-up sign-up form instead but can't find any info.

You'll find amazing help with Aweber support... even when you cannot find the help file you're looking for...

Thank you. It requires a plugin for a pop-up sign up form. Not keen on these kind of forms though as I find them annoying having to click them away each time I visit a website.
I’m going with the static version at the moment and see how it goes.
Thank you for all your help Trish.
Much appreciated.

With AWeber, you can choose how and when to show the popup, whether it be once, or multiple times and when to pop up, like when you're leaving page.

Are you using a page builder like Elementor, as well?

Make sure your plugins are updated to the most current version. This can also cause the spinning effect you see.


Rudy

Hey Rudy,
I removed the Aweber widget from my website and added it as a block editor instead to my main page.

All plugins are up to date.
Not using Elementor although I have heard of it.
Will the pop up option still work if it’s now been created as a block editor?
