Do this

Thank you

This should be links to your posts. There is procedure how to verify your site at Pinterest. Note that lessons are obsolete (at least those I followed) so no direct links to WA are accepted, contrary to what is (was) in lessons.

Thank you! I was wondering if that particular task was no longer viable.

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I AM GOING TO CHECK I VERIFIED MY SITE CORRECTLY WITH THEM XOXOXO CHEERS GUYS XOXO

Glad I am not alone!

DEFINITELY NOT ALONE :-0)) HAVE YOU SORTED YOURS YET....I AM GOING TO TRY AND DO MINE LATER TONIGHT
XOXOXO

What I have realized is that you can post any pictures and have them linked to your website.
You can not use pictures that are linked to anything in the WA community. Or try to link a picture to your WA affiliate link. Pinterest blocks all of those links.
Thank you for checking in.

:-)) COOL THANKS HUN XOXOXO LOVE TO ALL

Hi Janmer, would love to know myself. Irv.

We learn together as a community!

Hi Janmar, I have been doing some research and the following are my findings. You cannot share the text of a post on Pintrest. Only the pictures can be transfered accrosss. Hope this helps. Irv.

Thank you.

Good question .. I have learned from the answers you received. Cheers, William.

Thank you for the interest.

You have to have a pinterest account of course. Then you set up a board. Once you have a board, you can copy the url of a page that has a picture in it and paste it to the board. You do that by clicking on the little plus sign at the bottom right of the page once you have chosen a board. Once you past the url, pinterest will pick up the picture through Javascript and it will be on your board. If there is no picture connect to the url you sent, pinterest will tell you and ask you to choose another page.

Thank you for the training. I can post pictures to Pinterest but can not link anything WA to it.

Thank you for this answer. Now I will proceed to get pics on my board.

One of the great things about the community is that we can always learn from others questions!

That is true.

Instruction at this site.

Thank you! I will check out that link.

Hi what you do is get the Pin it button and pin your website images to Pinterest with your website url .

I'm not on this level yet. though that sounds good

Thank you for the support.

I can fo that. However, my website is not a make money niche promoting Wealthy Affiliate. But I could add some WA promotion on my site.

Create an image with your URL as part of the image (i.e., it's visual, not a link).

I understand what you are suggesting but I'm not sure I know how to create that. Is there training for this anywhere?

Actually, I'm posting a WA blog in about an hour about creating images using Canva, and I have an example of this type of image in the blog post.

Perfect! I will be looking for that.

Hello Janmar, I was checking some links, questions and posts related to search console because just yesterday I have set a training on how to fully verify it in WA, have a look I believe you gonna find it useful ...

Hi Janmar, I see Marion Black has the solution for you. Irv.

Thank you.

Wish I could help but I can't!

I see you have this worked out Janice. Good to hear!

Thank you for checking in.

You need to verify your website first

Thank you for your suggestion.

Janice is your site verified with Google?

Janice this might help you out.

It is not finding personal gmail account and not my easytravel gmail. It is not verifying my account. How do I fix that?

Janice is your website verified?

No I do not believe it was verified.

OK Janice if you read the above post and then follow the tutorial listed you can verify both google and bing at the same time.

I did that. I have the meta tags in the boxes. Do I click save changes before going back to the google page to push verify?

Success!! I had to disable on page.org indexability check before it would save. I then went to the pages you outlined and pushed verify and now I am verified owner!

Thank you for your help.
Do I need to use the xml site maps?

HEY HUN, YES YOU DO USE XML SITE MAPS.......I LOVE YOAST :-)) WELCOME AND I ALSO LOVE THE TIPS THE PAGE.ORG GIVES US. :-))

I am using Song Writer theme. I want to move some of my posts under the menu categories. How do I do that? I would like the menu category to show a drop down list when I mouse

Hi Janmar, I have no experience of the theme. Irv.

Hey Janice,
Thanks for asking the question. It really helps when things come
up and everyone can benefit.
Cheers,
Ken

You are welcome.

Thanks for early respondents, I bet you have now answers to your posted question.

I'd like to add, that next time you make/publish a post, there are check boxes on the right in your wordpress editor, check the appropriate boxes in the categories before hitting publish button. Or, if currently don't have categories listed, add one every time you make a post.

Thank you for the help. With the help of the training I do realize I can use those categories now on future posts.

Hey Jan,
I think you have to go to Appearence. Then go to menu. Once you get to menu on the left side of the menu page you'll see pages and post. Check whatever you want on the menu. Then click add. Then it'll be on your menu. Then push update. Then they'll be on your menu perminently. Does that answer your question Jan?

Thank you for the suggestion.
I have sorted it out with some of the training. You are correct and then with some final arranging on that menu page they fall into place.

No problem, Jan.

Hi Jan,
I hope that you got your answer. There are several pieces of training in the search bar under "drop down menu".

Bruce

Please look at my menu bar and if this is what you like, send me a PM and I will help you The Teddy Bear Style. It will cost you a virtual teddy bear hug. Lol

I am using the song writer theme.

I have added images to the header but they do not fill the space all the way across the page. The note says to use images 1800x400 for

i suggest you open the image in MS Paint and shrink it or increase the size. Try it multiple times and you can fix it as per the header space in you theme.

I will give that a try. Thank you for the suggestion!

Using a larger sized image is a way of fixing the issue. Another way is using CSS code which can cover or stretch the image. You will need to go back to the theme developer to find out how.

Just suggesting another option.

I appreciate your suggestions! I will give it a try.

Terrific question. I finally figured out that the picture I was using would not get any bigger than that original picture. Some of them do though and others don't. Can get a bit frustrating. Also, I had to get used to having white space on my header that I did not want there but no place to change it. s

Thank you for your suggestion. I need to see if I can stretch some of the pictures.

There is no way to make your header larger in some themes. have checked all the forums on this, and they say they are working on the issue.

Thank you Jeff. The theme dictates the ideal size of the picture to use that will fill the header space. If you use a picture larger then the suggested size you are able to crop it smaller. If my picture is smaller then the suggested size, I need to stretch the picture if possible to meet the size requirement.

Interested in the solution also Janice as I will be dealing with header issues soon.

So far I have found.........The theme dictates the ideal size of the picture to use that will fill the header space. If you use a picture larger, then the suggested size, you are able to crop it smaller. If my picture is smaller then the suggested size, I need to stretch the picture if possible to meet the size requirement. Perhaps your theme will be similar.

Hi Janmar, when you click Add Media in you header, you will select the image you want in your media library, before inserting it, go and look in the right side of the window in the editor where there is the Edit Image, scroll down to the bottom and there is a selection of what size you want for the image, thumbnail, there is the second one and the third is restore original size and hit save and insert it in the post, hope this helps.

Thank you for your help. I see that option. I will try that on some of my photos I have tried to adjust.

Welcome, I am glad I was able to help.

Your theme will tell you what size of header should be used. You will find it where you add a header image

Thank you. I see now that I must start with a photo 1800x400 or larger.

I don't know what theme you are using, but generally, when you click on an image in the manager, you will see a box around it with small circles at each corner. Put your cursor on those circles and move that side of the image out. It should get bigger. You just have to center it the way you want it. Let me know if this works.

Thank you. I see that I need to start with a photo at least 1800x400 and then I can fill the area as you suggest.

Looks like the original image has to be fairly large. I just tried an image with 1200 width and it works... But with a small image like 600 width comes out just like yours is showing now.

Thank you. I see that those guidelines are for the original picture size. It must be that size or large and then I could crop it down if needed.

good question, i have the same problem.
I do believe it is the type of theme we have chosen.

I have seen others using this theme that have the image filling the header space. It can be done.....we are just missing a step.

I GAVE UP TACKLING MY HEADER FOR NOW AS I HAVE BEEN SOO UNSCUCCESSFUL IT IS A JOKE :-)) WHEN YOU GET THE SOLUTION WILL YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW TOO XOOXOX TO YOU AND YOURS XOXOX

Yes you do or at least deactivate it because they could counter act with each other.

Thank you.

Your welcome

I also just installed Yoast 2 days ago but I didn't delete AIO, I just deactivated it just in case later on I decide I don't like Yoast & decide to go back to AIO.

Galen, it is best to delete the AIO SEO. Eve a deactivated plugin will have an effect on load time. It is easy to re-install if needed.

Thanks a lot Tim. I didn't know deactivated plugins can slow down load time.
