I have been experiencing the inability to post on wordpress lately. I can't even edit my old posts and have been seeing lots of bugs. Anybody experiencing these issues?

I think there are probably some updates overlapping done prior to your posting. Could you share what happen before this.

you can take a look at my first and second picture. I know you typed something.

The first picture shows exactly what I see.

The second picture shows the words you typed only after I hover the words as highlighted in blue. I don't know what is happening. It is fine with my other website.

Did you install any plugins lately? The recent WP update might have also been affected by some plugins you have. The thing to determine what the issue is is to uninstall all plugins and see if the issue is still happening. If so, then it's a WP issue or a theme issue. If the problem stopped, then it's one of your plugins.

re-install one by one until the problem happens again and there's your culprit!

My guess was also the Plugins because my other website was working just fine. It seems to be working now though just that it is a little slow.

Support would be the one I would ask about this issue Jacob. Personally, I have had no issues with my websites and I've been on three different websites here tonight.

I have asked support already. Thanks. Probably due to my plugins issues.

Did support suggest you de-active your plugins one at a time in order to find the guilty plugin?

I think it can be quite hard to manage a job, especially a full time job, with your business. Any tips on how can I go about? Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences.<

Hi Jacob,

I have a full time job as well and I can tell you IT'S HARD.

Well, its a fight and we have to keep fighting. I think very important is, the will to do it. At a point the time will come to tackle it all. Keep going and do the much you can each time. Every one has his track in life.

All the best.

Chuma.

I have a full time job too and it can be tough. Fortunately, when it's slow at work I can work on my site there. Otherwise, I struggle to get much done on my site at home.

Fortune favors the brave - many quit to start afresh. It all depends on much risk you can afford to take if you're desperate for a change.

Otherwise, it's best to work on this whenever you can till your income here exceeds your current job. Then quitting your job should be risk-free.

Same here Jacob - as I am also struggling with my full time job and trying to learn how to build internet business that will release from this rat race.

John

Thanks for your opinions! All the best!

I sure do as well. It's hard as others are saying, keeping up with a full time job, family, and various other tasks that have to be done. I try to do the beast that I can and schedule time each day and week to work on my website in some way.

Thanks for your opinions! I guess perseverance and determination are even more needed for your case!

Like Grant Cardone says, "You have to be obsessed."

Yeeees!! I also work full time & try to implement a side-hustle. How I manage: I set up clear tasks & how much it will take each, after working hours I dedicate at 2 hours a day (but sometimes I am too tired). During weekends a dedicate at least 4 hours for my business and also during vacation & public holidays I spend as much time as possible on the business. I hope this helps :)

Thanks for your opinions! I wish you success in your business!

Thanks Jacob. Same to you!

Yes I am and have been since the beginning. Guess it depend what your full time jobs is really?

Engineering. lol. It is just hard if your job has overtime most of the time.

Hi all,

I know that it is not good to keep stuffing keywords in your post or content, but how do we ensure that we strike a balance between having a keyword focal point

You're absolutely correct - once in the title, the lead paragraph, and after that write naturally. No need to overthink it.

How do you know if your content is keyword focused?

I know it is a little too late to ask this but I am just curious that how this might have any legal repercussions that we might face? That is putting all the SEO's and rankings

I recommend buying a new domain name that doesn't have someone else's brand in it. It's fine to use the brand in the titles of your posts just not in a domain name.

Not even if I put in among thee phrase like for example: learn(brandname)withJacob.com etc?

No, I believe not even then.
Just recently I was involved as an affiliate for a company releasing sports apps (had to quit for lack of time), and they allowed ablosutely no use of even a small part of their brand name in my access portal or titles......

Not even then. Do not use a brand name as part of the domain name under any circumstances.

I think it's best not to have trademarked names in your domain, you can be forced to take down your site if you they find out about it.

Authoring & Writing Content
Updated

Hello everyone,

Let's say if we guest blog on someone's blog, and we have the exact topic in our own blog. Would there be some copyright conflicts?

Thank you for y

There's no problem with having the exact same topic. The issue arises when the content is copied exactly. You may not receive a "penalty", but the duplicate content just won't rank. So the person getting the guest blog will not want your content! It's OK to rewrite it in a new way however,

You do not need a copyright thing on your website. By default, since you publish first, you get automatic copyright.

There is no problem with duplicate content at all, sorry to disagree with Mel. I suggest you to see here in my training, this is directly from Google's people in live discussion, available on YouTube: .

Thank you for your comment. Great training! Putting guest blogging aside, so it is actually okay for people to duplicate content. Then what is the point of copyright and privacy policy in our site?

All I know is there in the training. But do not mix this with ethical and legal point of view, I stressed this in the training. This is only how Google treats texts.

I understand that your question was about legal things, but Mel was referring to duplicate issues and I just replied regarding this.

You will get duplicate content penalties, even if it is your own content you are duplicating.

Thank you for your comment.
