When I click on my notifications button, a window partially opens, but when I attempt to maximize the screen or scroll up, down, or over, my profile page that's in the backgroun

That looks pretty weird in the screenshot image, have you considered that it might be something to do with either the settings or add-ons selected in your browser?

Simon-H-UK, I'm using Safari on an iPad so I don't know how to adjust the settings just yet. I will do a little homework to see if that fixes the problem. Thank you for giving me something else to try.

Thanks, Marion! I don't know why I didn't think about that when presenting the question. I included my screenshot of what I mean. The notification page is in the right corner of the page, cut it does not fully cover my computer screen, and won't allow me to maximize the screen or scroll over.

I think maybe your computer or your browser has a problem. I can click on the Close X button on the top right hand side and close the notifications popup. Try a different browser and if you still have problems then virus check, reboot or PANIC! :-)

I'm wanting to change the two images that show as "Demo 1/Demo 2" in a slider bar that stretches across the page in the Albar Theme in WordPress. When I previewed the theme, th

Thanks for sharing :)

What Kathy has commented on is correct. I'm using a different theme but the sliders still have the same functionality. Once your in your themes setting there will be the drop down boxes for how many pictures your theme was set for. Good chance you have 5 like mine. When you click for your image URL it will take you to your media. you can use what you have or up load more. Your text options are just below.

From what I can see after installing this theme on a test site you go to Appearance - Albar Settings then choose slider settings. In the section where it says "enable slider" you can see "instructions here", click on that and it will tell you how to change the images.

Let me know if you need screenshots. :)

Thanks, Kathy331 for helping me once again. I had tried the slider instructions for the theme earlier and successfully added the Slider Post title under categories, but when I click on the Slider Category, it's supposed to show me a category id among the url in the address bar, but when I click on the Category Heading, my domain name is not changing to show the url of the category title. It has a Premium upgrade available. Could it just not be changing unless I upgrade to Premium? I may just have to change themes.

Hi Keena. I installed your theme. I went to Dashboard > Posts > Categories and I was able to see the ID in the address bar after clicking a category link. Try hovering over the category link instead and see if the ID shows in the bottom left of your browser.

Try what Antonio says, if no joy then there are plenty of other themes to choose from. :)

Quite tricky huh? i need to know the same and will be watching your post to see the many answers. keep up the good work.

One of my favorite resources is pixabay.com. Except for the Shutterstock images at the top of each page you can download and use any of the images there without copyright problems. This link may help with inserting them: ~Marion

Thank you for your help and for including a resource and article to assist me with following your direction. I will use this information to build my site pages. Thanks again.

A member here has made a site specifically for that, it's a great resource for royalty-free images.http://freeimages.siterubix.com/online-photo-sharing-sites-free-images-websites

Thanks so much for your reply and taking the time to include a link as well! I definitely will visit the site and use relevant images as often as I can.

You're welcome Keena. :)

This is covered in your lessons. I see you recently started so you will eventually see this topic. :>)) This should help you out a bet.

Thank you so much! I have been going through the lessons faithfully and completing the assigned tasks. I've just begun Course 2, and I've been stuck on building the site's content and appearance. I will view this video and apply what it says shortly!

Again, covered in your lessons:

Another member ended up giving me the short answer so I've already corrected the problem, but I still watched the video that you graciously linked in your post. You are right that I'd already seen this lesson, but I had forgotten what I was doing wrong since I had linked text successfully before. I'm glad I watched it again because now I know how to do the same thing for my images that I was just reminded about regarding my text. Now I have one last question for today. I noticed that you have icons in front of your links like the pencil in front of and the film strip in front of How does that happen?

Never mind. This is an edited comment. Now I see what has been happening. When I copy a link in a Wealthy Affiliate post, it automatically converts. Another member asked me if I was using pretty links? Is that what these are? When I generate my own content, that's when I have to highlight and click the chain link. OK.

Thanks for taking the time to help me, and a special thank you for the link that you shared about the photos I bookmarked your page for future reference.

Also a useful link is tinyurl.com where you can add in special wording for a website link. Just something I thought would be a useful tip.

Yes! I have a question out there right now about how to copy one of my long links because I've been unable to do it. Once I figure THAT out, I will definitely use that site. Thank you!

are you using pretty links?

I'm pretty sure my answer is No because I don't know what pretty links are. I had posted links in posts before here at WA where they automatically changed just a headline or title which is what I wanted it to do, but I don't know why that's not happening now.

Highlight the words you want to see, go to the link icon in your editor. and click it, a popup will appear, paste the url you want to appear. :)

yes, what Kathy said is the way to go :) good luck!

Kathy331 and mbani, Thanks for taking the time to help me with this. Kathy I did exactly what you said, and that fixed it. I'd seen a video on this and remembered to click on the chainlink to copy my own affiliate link above pages, but had forgotten to click on the link within my page to convert the highlighted text. I also mentioned to MarineMom was that when I paste link within this type of post ... it converts to a text link automatically, but I couldn't figure out why it wasn't doing the same in my blog posts. Thanks again.

Glad you got it sorted. :)
