You may add # in the URL option of the attached custom link for it to do nothing. That's in Appearance > Menus
However I would consider adding a category i.e. "Learn" and then assigning posts to your categories, where your category is attached to your menu.

I am trying to add the recent post widget and links to certain pages within my footer, and I am having the hardest time with this task. I can add the posts widget, but it does
can you not add the block editor block of recent posts and then set it up so that is only shows the title and maybe date and author...
you shouldn't need a plugin to do this ...
or has it not got a widget to add this and you just need to style it...
most of what you want is in here

hello, trying to understand google analytics...Google keeps saying that my pages are "currently discovered, not indexed. But, I'm getting page views and bounce rates for that p
Hey, So Google will often discover your blog but will not index for one or more of many reasons. In other words, it will read and track some data, but will not index your site. Your website could be too new and is not big enough yet, there can be bugs or mistakes in your layout, poorly written blogs can be discovered and not indexed. If your website is new, chances are it is for this reason, check on yahoo and big ( Microsoft ) are your posts indexing there?
I know google has billions of pages to index, I know it takes a while, just trying to make sure that I'm doing everything right, I'll just keep providing helpful content and hopefully, google will get around to indexing my content...thanks all!
no, I don't know if it's a problem or if Google is just taking forever to index my content.
I did some research and what I found is that Google knows about these URLs, but they haven't been crawled (and therefore indexed) them yet, but they have traffic.
If you have good quality content, this URL state is will automatically resolve after Google's crawls the URLs.
I have not experienced this yet, tut the explanation makes sense..
Hi - are your views coming from other search engines such as Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, etc? If you go to Acquisition in Analytics, it will break down where your traffic came from.
I’m only seeing a combination of:
Direct (none)
Bing (none)
Ductductgo (referral)
WA (referral
Generatepress (referral0
I have some troubleshooting tickets opened with WA and GeneratePress, so that could explain that traffic. Not sure what direct is.
Hi - so WA and GP could account for your traffic.
Direct means that someone has typed your URL directly in their browser, or they have saved it as a bookmark.
It can also mean that Google has no idea where it came from!

Hello, not sure if this is the right group, I have been trying to get google search console to work, and I have been unsuccessful. I have an open ticket with Monsterinsights b
you will need ot add your analytics code somewhere else on your site ...
i would advise ad inserter plugin ...
as detailed in this training Google verification in four easy steps to find your analytics code
goto your analytics account
click on admin
click on data streams
click on the right arrow on the data stream and a new window will popup
click on html code and copy the whole lot ...
paste this in the head part of ad inserter ...
switch that on and save...
and you are done....
let me know how you get on....

definitely don't delet the analytics property as you will lose al lthe data...
I just deactivated the monsterinsights plugin, and added the analytics code to my site via google site kit. Everything is now showing connected. Thanks
I would recommend using only one data analytics program and would recommend Google Analytics and Google Search Console. At this point in time there should not be must data in Monster insights so deactivating it should not cause much if any analytics data loss. It will not affect your post content.
Did you use a plugin like ad Inserter to put the Google Analytics cod in your header? Were are you stuck" How to add Google Analytics Tracking Code to Head Section of Word Press Site. .
Yeah, I just deactivated monsterinsights and added the google analytics via site kit, and now google search console is showing connected. No data, but I’m guessing it take a minute to update. Thanks
Don't worry about the data right now. The important thing is to get Google Analytics and Google Search Console working for you.
I use GSC extensively. If you can tell me what your specific problem is, I may be able to help.
I think it’s the plugin monsterinsights. I deactivated it and just installed the google analytic code and now search console is connected. Thank you.

I would definitely go for a category vs a page.
I think this option is better. Thanks
Of course it is.
And you are super welcome.
