Hey Kathie,

Hope you haven't done anything to your website as of yet.

PLEASE do NOT delete the Classic Editor until you have converted your website over to using the WordPress block editor.

If you DO delete the Classic Editor before converting, you MIGHT cause yourself more headaches... and, if you have already deleted the Classic Editor and are fretting... simply re-install the Classic Editor and hopefully your site will be restored.

Work on your posts and pages one at a time to convert them. There is a BIG learning curve to using the Block Editor.

Whenever you have used HTML on your pages/posts with the Classic Editor, you CAN use the HTML block in the Block Editor.

Here's a quick video to help you make the switch easier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCRlTgL6ihU

Hope you find this helpful.

When you remove the classic editor plugin you’ll by default have the block editor. And if you search “Wordpress Wisdom” up top in the smart search (magnifying glass) you’ll find a long list of Wordpress and block editor tutorials I’m doing daily. You can also just go to my blog.

This is the one, it shows you how to convert to block editor too ( im pretty sure) Using The Block Editor to Style Your Content

I just converted it to blocks. I didn't download anything. I think the block editor is the best now, lol it was a learning curve but not a bad one. If you want to, they have classes; I think Jays was the first one I saw, but there are more.

I just changed mine from classic to block editor; it took a little getting used to, but now I love it, lol.

I don't think I downloaded anything I believe I changed it in there. I"ll have to double-check.

When your psots are indexed, and often days later, down the line, start getting noticed, provided targeted keywords are searchable, and new websites can rank efficiently.

But typically, "authority" for a website starts to get established over time, usually at the 3-6 month mark.

A page is indexed by Google if it has been visited by the Google crawler ("Googlebot"), analyzed for content and meaning, and stored in the Google index. Indexed pages can be shown in Google Search results (if they follow the Google Search Essentials).

Yeah, don't worry about "domain" authority websites. If you are indexed, you are indexed...that is the defacto. Domain authority websites are unreliable and I wouldn't put too much weight into them, rather focus on Google Console and the results you are seeing there.

I hope you were able to figure it out, Kathie, and got the correct account.

go into your search console and click on the property and see if it has glitched - i had this a few days ago where most of my sites became unverified...even though the code was in there....
clicking on the site it then became verified...no changes...

Yeah, it looks like you have set it up through another Google Account. Do you have another Google account that you could already have tied to this domain?

Woohoo! Congratulations Kathie :)

Awesome!

Indexed is always a good start.

Great to hear they are indexed now to get them ranking up high on the search engines.
Congrats and keep moving forward.

Keep up the good work! Double it for February!
