Awesome, thank you for letting us know.

Any issues, you may submit a ticket to site support

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support

Are you transferring to WA or out of WA?

Hi and thanks for the input. You hit the nail on the head when you said "It is impossible to do that without looking directly at your dashboard".

That is my main point of frustration, because I had suggested more than once to connect via AnyDesk or similar so that the dashboard can actually be seen, and sorted out in minutes instead of weeks.

This would negate my inadequate description + any misunderstanding of the problem by those being asked.

I received negative response only to be told that there is one way to do this and that was over this platform. And clearly this was not working.

Nut maybe it should be considered because it helps to get the job done quicker.

But hey, I understand that it doesn't suit some people if its not their idea.

It has taught me a lesson that in future with WA I should only ask Site Support and not the members.

It hasn't been a good experiance being a newbie making waves, and made to feel its my fault.

Regards

Henry

I see, friend. But I don't think that W.A. site support would have that option. From what I know, you would have to contact them directly and they will get back to you with an answer. They've always fixed my site problem whenever I have an issue. If you haven't contacted them by now, please do.
Also, it's not your fault. It could be an update issue, an HTML code when inserting an image, the image size is too large, a broken link, etc.
All the best!

Hi and thanks for your interest, but I feel that with the different answers I've already had, getting another from you will confuse it even more.

If you read all the messaages in this string this you will see that it is far from saatisfactory.

Hi Henry, I've faced many issues on my website and support desk helped me to sort them out for each ticket. Recently for one of the technical issues I've raised, many conversations happened between me and support desk. It went over 2 days! And finally, they sorted it out. The support desk availability depends on the plan of membership (starter, premium and premium plus). Since you're premium member, the desk provides "unlimited support" and hence you need not worry about time zone.

Following some pointers will help you in editing and publishing.

#1. Use Site Content for developing story line including pictures. Suggestion is to create a pre-final draft using this facility. Now publish this to your website, using the facilities provided by Site Content. Now, the job of Site Content is done, because, once the content is published to your website, it becomes nullified in terms of editing and re-publishing!

#2. Go to your website. Find the page / post that you've published from Site Content. Click on it for editing. You should be seeing whatever was developed in Site Content out here as-it is. Advice here is do some fine tuning and no serious editing.

#3. If pictures are not found here, but were there in the content developed using Site Content, then exit the Wordpress Editor and go to "Media" using navigator available on the left side in Worpress and verify for the presence of images. They should be there, because when published from Site Content, the Wordpress downloads all the images to "Media" page. If not there, means is a serious problem in downloading, which Support Desk should be able to solve.

#4. If you figure out the images are present in Media page, but still not appearing the Edit mode on the Wordpress, then it could likely be problem of Editor. This is where, plug-in will help. Exit the edit mode, go to Plug-in using navigator available on the left side in Worpress. Find "Add New" button, click on the same. There will be a search bar in the Add New plug-in. Type "classic editor". You will find it. Press install button. After this press "Activate" button. Now go and edit your page. All content should appear, which was developed in Site Content. If the problem persists, please connect with Support Desk to resolve.

Trust the above helps.

Hi Abie

I asked you some days ago and you responded by advising to look at Day 4 of the 14 day challenge, and while this deals with website additions etc, it does not deal with trying to get it to show the pictures. Plus the fact that it tends to confuse me by advising how to add Plug-ins that I've never heard of in the training or is not in Kyle's training. Or maybe its more acccurate for me to say that I haven't reached the stage in Kyle's training that deals with these plug ins.

Does any of this help you?

I've completed About Me, Privacy Policy, and 1 post and have pictures installed. But when I try to see them on WP there are no pictures. And I've been advised by one "comment" that there was a 401 message and they could not open my last post.

Regards

Henry

Are you editing in Site Content or directly in WordPress.

If you edited a document in site content and published it, future edits has to be done in WordPress. Site content and WordPress work independently.

I'd place my images in a document in site content and publish it to my site. it will be added to my WordPress media library. Then delete the “temporary image” doc in site content so that it does not get indexed as well.

If directly in WordPress, you can upload your images to your Media library and later add them with posts or pages

in the standard view you may click the plus to add something or the three dots and choose to remove a block from the drop down menu. How to Add Images to Wordpress Available Blocks in the Block Editor (Gutenberg) Hope this helps. If something else kindly let us know.

Thanks Abie

Hope this works.

Henry

Hi ....... this is a difficult and lengthy way to do this .......... because [1] writing it out trying to explain it is not easy [2] it might not be easy for you to undestand how I'm explaining ot. But here goes.

The first example/suggestion you gave me with the bulldog - this page says 'Add a New Post'. My page says 'Posts' and lists 'About Me' and my first post i made. So from what I see doea not cover my problem, and in reality I do not know what she is talkng about.

Your second suggestion ---- "Available Blocks in the Block Editor (Gutenberg)" I have never seen this before. I have no idea what I need to do with this information. Maybe its still to come up in the course with Kyle?

Any more ideas?

Regards

Henry

You may need to empty the browser cache, refresh and try again. Try URL in a different browser or mobile device and see where are you getting a 401 message

You can also empty servers cache.
Websites > Site Manager > Details > Sitespeed > Empty site cache

However, if issue persists

Please submit a ticket to site support have them check your site

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support

Hi Abie

With all respect, the situation now is because I cannot explain the problem accurately, and it is ecalating this into a guessing game.

This is a perfect example of where AnyDesk or similar would help, so I really cannot understand why this is not the sensible option.

I am disappointed that we cannot do it this way.

Having said this, if WA is adament, then the best and fastest way of rectifying it would be to start from scratch again.

Please advise the best way of doing this.

Regards

Henry

Best advice is for you to submit a ticket to site support with a brief message asking them to check your site

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support

They are very responsive and would answer you in a jiffy.

Hope with site support help, you are able to figure this out sooner.

Thank you Albie ................. for your info I have just sent this to Ivan .............

Ivan ....... this is not a blame game but if you want one I will provide it .

You say you've offered a solution. That's not acurate. Between WA members, I have been offered several all slightly different solutions. Just read through this string. Which one do you wish me to choose? Jus

But I am being unfair to you. You should not have to make excuses, because the business does not belong to you.

I understand the arrangement I have with WA is as follows:-

1] To become a WA member at a chosen membership level, I will pay the required fee.
2] In exhange for this, WA will teach me their blogging methodology, including website building, SEO, content creation, Keyword Research, and all that is necessary to successfully operate a blog & website from a technical viewpoint.
3] The success of this blog/website in terms of the revenue generated is my responsibility (copy, frequency of posts, choice of niche or niches and other ancililary criteria)
4] It is not my responsibilty to know how the WA software and the WP sottware work and the workings of the inter-relatonship between them. It is WA's rensponsibility to teach me, and when I make errrors to help me to efficiently/timeously correct them, when I ask WA.
5] WA to offer training etc from time to time, such intervals, content and presenters in accordance with the fee as mentioned in [1] above.

But if I understand your comments correctly, you are saying "take it or leave it'? If you are, it clearly does not represent the spirit in which I have been led to believe WA operates.

As advised by Albie in his last contact with me. I shall submit a ticket to site support. He tells me that they will sort it out in a Jiffy.

Obviously since joining WA I have made the wrong choice as to who I turned to help me, although I was informed to "just ask" because everyone could help me.. I only wish I had been informed sooner to contact Support.

All this will have been avoided, and I would not have lost so much valuable time (over 2 weeks probably more).

Hopefully Albie is correct, and I reserve my right at this point to remain disappointed at to what has transpired.

Cheers

Henry

Reading your notes below, I take it you already submitted a ticket to site support or is it not?

In the future, you may like provide us screenshots then we get to see where's the issue is and then suggest solutions.

Please know and as stated before, this is not my platform I am just a member like you however trying help other members here pay-it-forward.

Sure like John said, "no one can claim they know everything" - however the endeavor is always to try to help as much as we can and to the best of our abilities.

Hi Ivan .......... Thaks for the message.

I've completed About Me, Privacy Policy, and 1 post and have pictures installed. But when I try to see them on WP there are no pictures. And I've been advised by one "comment" that there was a 401 message and they could not open my last post.

The reason why you aren’t seeing images after publishing the post might be of technical nature. Could you please open a ticket with SiteSupport and show the the problem. They can access you WP and will help you with this. Click on Help tab in the main menu here in WA and then click on SiteSupport and open a ticket.

Hi Ivan ..... please se my post to Abie.

Regards

Henry

Yes, I’ve seen the comments and AbieAJ has given you good suggestions. That’s exactly what I would recommend you to do. But if the problem persist, you can get help from SiteSupport. Did you ask them for help?

Hi Ivan ......... I am sorry to say that you seem to misunderstand what I said. The help I am getting from WA now seems to be a guessing game that is costing me a lot of wasted time that I cannot afford if I want to write blogs.

I've been part of WA for over 6 weeks or so, and cannot get my site up-and-running. This is pathetic, and because I cannot explain the problem accurrately, you and your WA collleagues cannot provide an acccurate solution.

What am I to do?

I've already paid $19 + $49 = $68 and I am no further along than when I first started. This is unsatisfactory and not what I signed up for.

Please advise.

Regards

Henry

I didn’t misunderstood what you said. You are having a problem with adding images to your posts. And as AbieAJ said, you should go to WP and add images from your admin area into your posts, and the problem will be gone.

That’s the solution to the problem you are facing. AbieAJ has even given you links where you can find instructions on how to add images from your WP admin area.

Did you follow the instructions?

I’m sorry that you feel disappointed, but we can’t do this for you. We can only offer a solution and that’s exactly what you have gotten here, Henry.

Ivan ....... this is not a blame game but if you want one I will provide it .

Sorry, Henry, but in my first response, I’ve advised you to contact the SiteSupport.

I’m not here to argue with anyone. That’s just a waste of time. I’ve responded to your query with sincere desire to help you to resolve the problem at hand and I still am ready to do so.

I hope SiteSupport will have a solution to your images issue. Let me know how it works 👍

Hi Ivan .......... you still do not fully understand what I mean, but felt out of courtesy, I should advise you that I have sent a massge to Tech Support and a copy of it is below the end of this message.

Thanks for the attention you've given to my past queries.

The message to Support will convey how I feel abut moving forward, and i think that WA should mention that a degree of IT techie knowledge is required.

Regards

Henry

Message to WA Tech

Thanks, I feel you think you are REALLY helping me by sending me more tech info............. afraid not.

The video link you sent to me was not the one Albie had sent to me, but it was from the same person, hence my error when I first opened and glanced at it quickly before playing it.

My objective is to write blogs and with utmost respect to you and WA, not to forever be in the techie workshop and asking for techinical help.

After all, I have driven a car for over 50 years, and have never had once had to personally repair or tune it. If there's a problem I simply send to the workshop, and it doesn't interupt/delay my work and life. I'm sure you'll agree if you read the correspondence surrounding this large hiccup in my WA membership.

I therefore feel that I should give up peacefully, ask for my money back, and leave WA.

Because Kyle has obvously chosen to stay clear of the messages between you and me --- and to & from other WA members (although with Carson has acted as post-master for delivering them to me), who should I contact to get my money back?

Cheers

Henry

PS: I shall copy this to Ivan, one of the ambassadors who deals with me.

Hi ........... thanks for the encouragement. I haven't had a reply yet solving my query about adding images. About 13 hours ago I messaged AbieAJ with my EXACT position, and hope that this will help him help me pinpoint where I am going wrong. We are probably in diffferent time zones, so no doubt when he reads it and has the time to advise me, that he will do so..

Regards

Henry

Henry, I read your notes to Abie.
Can you get into the Dashboard of your website from WA?

Lily

Hi .... yes I can get into the dashboard :)

Can you bring up a post? I can then work you through putting an image in if you like?

Lily

You may follow up on below resources SiteComments - The Benefits & Full Walkthrough SiteFeedback - Benefits & Full Walkthrough But yes first you need earn in order to request.

Hi and thanks Abie.

You might have gathered that the WA/WP website set up has almost totally beaten me into submission.

I've gone though these training sections time and time again, and although I'm slowly improving regarding the website build, this section has taken me weeks not days. (I joined WA more than a month ago!!) in the last 5 years or so I've built about 12 or so websites, but not with WP as I have never been able to master it. My concern is that buidling websites is such a basic, integral and importanf part of blogging that if I cannot master it efficiently it will force me to stop. And i really do not want to.

Is it possible to build tthe site directlyfrom WP as this might uncomplicate it?

Thank you for your interest and advice.

Regards

Henry

Hi …………. I hope that if I can tell you my EXACT problem it will be easier for you to advise me.
The process that has stumped me is “Adding Images with WordPress”.
Training Class 2 Level 6 – Video “How to Find & Add Images to your Website” at 9 minutes 48 seconds into the video.
The video screen shows WP with a black block down the left-hand side and in the top left corner of the white section ‘Edit Post’ and in a small block to the right ‘ADD NEW’.
Kyle instructs to go to the small block on the left-hand side slightly lower down within the white section saying 1Add Media’
My WP page does not have black block down the left-hand side, nor does it have ‘Edit Post’, ‘Add New’ or ‘Add Media’.
It has ‘Posts’ and ‘Add New” but it does not have ‘Add Media’ and there are other minor ‘differences.
Does this help you to help me?
Regards

Henry

Absolutley, you do not have to use Site Content, you may directly built in your WordPress sites back office.

You may install the classic widgets plugin and with the classic editor.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/

Initially you may download to your PC and then upload .zip files to your WordPress sites back office.

Or go to Plugins > Add new, input classic widgets, install and activate.

However in the standard view you may click the plus to add something or the three dots and choose to remove a block from the drop down menu.

However there was an update from Kyle regarding this, you may not have the option to choose the Classic editor in Settings > Writing and if so, you'd have to work with the Block editor instead. Core Training, Level 1 Refresh Complete! How to Add Images to Wordpress Available Blocks in the Block Editor (Gutenberg)

If you edited a document in site content and published it, future edits has to be done in WordPress. Site content and WordPress work independently.

I'd place my images in a document in site content and publish it to my site. it will be added to my WordPress media library. Then delete the “temporary image” doc in site content so that it does not get indexed as well.

Hi and thanks ......... I really hope i can make this work. although i'm not sure why my page is different to Kyle's video.
Regards

Henry

You can.

Important thing, not to become overwhelmed however more step by step, moving forward. I can appreciate there's lots to take but I tend to do a bit of studying, a bit of practicing.

However, at this stage content is most important as it is the bulk of our sites and takes a long time to get ranked in the search engines.

Hope this helps.

This is great advice because maybe i am pressuring myself to move through the training and leanring too quickly. Really great help:)

You're very welcome

Hi Ivan .........

Tanksfor your reply

[1] didn't see it until after Abie's email. So I assume every email goes through WA? Does this have any security implications?

[2] and [3] and [4] Are you saying that I must have a brand for yourfinda.com and separate brands for each niche? If so when WA encourages me to develop a brand, do they mean "one brand for each niche"?

Thanks
Henry

1) It's something that I can't answer because I haven't built it. Kyle and Carson are persons you need to ask this question.

2) Your website is a brand. So for each niche, you have to build a website (brand). So the answer is yes, you need to develop one brand for each niche.

Hi Diane .. thanks for your email. I'm pleased to see that your reply was positive.

If you read my profile you would have seen that i'm no youngster, and although I'm a little challened by computer technology, I still have tons of ideas, some new and some old.

I am developing my brand as "yourfinda.com" with several niches in similar or allied fields. My strategy is for example to have each niche as part of the brand and labelled (as you said) as a sub-domain.

I acknowldge (hadn't thought otherwise) that each subdomain needs to be dealt with as an individual entity (blog/website) and as such, the same work (blogs etc) need to be done in each niche.

In my opinion, doing it this way could dramarically increase traffic because (assuming this is when I have 5 or 6 niches) when I get a single visitor on say "Niche 1 Website", they will have no option, unless they are blind, but to see the links/banners etc for the other niches that form part of the yourfinda.com brand.

And knowing human behaviour, there is an extremely good chance they will click on at least one other niche-link and be transported to another website.

This example alone results in 2 clicks from one blog,

But possibly " 2 or 3; or 4; or 5; or 6 clicks for one blog".

This is why I asked the question? Please advise what you think.

Regards

Henry

As your subdomains are in essence stand-alone websites, then a visitor clicking on one would not be aware of the others. So, you would need to signpost them in some way.

I have to say though, that I personally find it unlikely that the visitors would have any interest in a different niche.

They will have done a specific search on Google to find the answer to what they want to know, and having found it on your website, they may move on to different posts on that particular niche, but probably wouldn't be interested in something entirely different.

If, for example, I was interested in cooking, and visited that particular subdomain, then seeing links or adverts for a site about decorating would seem intrusive or "salesy".

At the end of the day, one really good website on one specific niche, with hundreds of well-written, informative posts will ultimately be more successful, than lots of different sites with less content.

If you do still plan on going ahead with several subdomains, I would concentrate on your initial niche only for at least 6 months or until you have about 40 posts.

Hi ,,,,,,,,,, thanks for your response, and points well taken. Very contructive.

Regards

Henry

However, the recommendation is to focus on ONE site starting out as it takes lots of effort and work get it going, however once you know what you are doing, then the learning curve would be less steeper to scale up.

Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for answering, and although I understand your answer, it doesn't answer my question.

Are you saying that [a] I cannot have yourfinda.com as my brandable website [b] and/or the niche page does not appear as a suffix (or prefix for that matter) to the domain/URL?

Thanks

Henry

Thanks for your email. Does this mean every email has to go through WA platform/domain?

ONE niche, a website. Products and programs can be varied however all must be relevant to the niche.

You can create unlimited emails, on a dot com domain or forwards to a Gmail or Outlook for example

Either login as a webmail independent of WA or forwards

Tutorials How to Add New Email Account to Gmail - Configuring POP3 and SMTP at Gmail Adding Email Settings to Outlook Profile - Part 1 Hope this helps.

Also you can host up to 10 sites (mix of siterubix subdomains and premiums however totalling ten)

So for any subdomains you create, they are standalone sites and taken away from your quota.

However, and reading your notes below, it is best concentrate on the ONE site with the ONE focused niche that best resonates with you going forward.
