I thought it was my theme that was giving me trouble at one point but found it was the Yoasts plugin.
I need help with getting Social buttons on my website with Pinterest, Go

I use the Super Socializer plugin. It seems to work pretty well; however, you do want to be careful about how many options you enable or you will have icons piling up on top of each other.

Thanks mdmason.
Will look at that.
Like to get a few more besides Google and FB.

Looks like your covered.

Thanks Larry
I got rid of the plugin Yoast and I really hated to do that because I like the little plugin.
Reinstalled SEO All in one and went with the Tweet, like share plugin.
Frustrating night it was.

Larry

Ya, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and do what you have to do. Good Luck

Thanks Larry

I have been having problems with my social media plug in too. It is called Ultimate Social Media and I am about ready to uninstall it and find another social media plugin. I might try the HTML Social Share. Thank you Grampa Mike for the suggestion

I'm using Yoast SEO and it is working very well on my site. It's such an easy tool to use for site optimization.

Now, I am using a different plug in for the social buttons. It is called HTML Social Share Buttons. No, there is no HTML coding involved so you can relax. It was easy to install, activate, and tell the plug in how I wanted buttons displayed on my site and which ones. You just go in to the settings for the plug in and click on a couple of buttons to configure it. I'm really pleased with this utility and it looks great.
You can see it in action here http://grampamike.com/

No HTML coding on your part with these two plug ins.

How is Yoast interfering with adding social buttons?

When I tried to use the Plugin from the lessons.
Tweet, Like, Share, Google+1 and Share.
It gave me troubles in the past.Once I deactivated then no problems.

it's the theme


Thanks Jean.

Larry

there are plugins for this. google wp plugins for social icons - get ides for a few before searching from the plugins tab in your dashboard.cheers

Thanks there.
Think I might have jump the gun here got a few of the buttons going but need to go back and try to get the ones I want.

Hey, All!!

Thanks to all that came to my aid and gave their suggestions.

Getting around WP is still slow going!! Still having troubles with Word Press. Did clear cac

Maybe there is so many WA family members now the system is gasping for room to work!

Wp was running pretty slow for me yesterday and has it's moments today too!

Several days ago it was very slow but seems to be ok now

I had a period when it was impossible to do anything, everything was slow, so I was scanning and cleaning all the time, nothing really helped. Eventually the problems vanished, no idea how or why. I know this does not help, but perhaps it will pass in a day or two. Meanwhile try anti-malware to clean the system. Jovo

Try restarting your router and your wifi, that might help.

The last added plugin could be the culprit. Deactivating an older plugin to sort of "make room" for the new one isn't going to always help. It's not the amount of plugins you have (although, yes, too many WILL slow the site down), it's the compatibility of each plugin with your theme and version of WP that matters most. I would try deactivating that last plugin and see what happens.

Thanks Marvin!!
Apperciate that an dwill check that out right away.

hi Larry
You have to add W3 cache

Thank you bro!!
Will look into this and glad ya stopped by to help.
Very cool of you.
Larry

I monkeyed around with website construction for three years before I learned anything. Lately I've run into WA and received a lot of good info here. You need to keep plugging and the light will suddenly come on. As far as slow running machines are concerned,it's the old engineering cut and try for me. When it works, I explain it.

Thank you there bro!!
Will do!!
I couldn't quit right now, WA and it's members would miss me, I hope, LOL!!
Thanks again WKnoep.

My problem is just learning to navigate it.

I write all my articles in ms word. Then save it before copy and paste it to WA when I finish. Good to have a backup of your own. Even with the most trust site, never know when it will go wrong. Best be careful.

Thanks for the heads up.

Again, thanks for stopping by for the heads up.

My WA is acting up a little too.. I wrote an entire post and then when I hit publish the page went blank and everything was lost.. I tried the control shift R but that didn't seem to work :(

There's a lot of info here.
Please have a look around and see if any suggestions made here will help you out.
The one I used, I had to reset password on EVERYTHING but managed to get back into WP better than before.
Hope this helps

If you are using Windows, hold down your 'SHIFT' key and click refresh on the browser. Alternatively, use keyboard short cuts such as:
i) Ctrl+Shift+R
ii) Ctrl+F5

If you are using Mac, simply Cmd+Shift+R. What all these short cuts do is to force reload and clearing the cache at the same time. This ensures everything is current.

Hope this helps!

Thank you SebastianL

Trying to update author in WP.

I go to Users and in "Add New" and "Your Profile" is a HUGE white blank space covering the things I need to get to.

Any body know what

Sorry Larry can't help you on this one except, do you have a draft of the one you want, see what you can salvage

Thanks for the post Larry:)

Guess what Guys and Gals!!

Managed to get into "Add New" and "Your Profile" and update everything. Do believe I did things right.
Notice website had old theme as I refresh before logging in. Tried refresh a few more times and still saw old theme.
Decided to log in anyways and went to website.
Not only did I lose theme to old one, I lost content.
Do have a put in password box and when I plug in password I get a 401 notice.
Could this be from unplugging "Piklist"?

Hi Larry, sounds like you got it figured out, thats great.

Only with the help of WA members, siterubix support and a big box of tissue.
Thanks and nice meeting you.

Hi Larry I just tried what you said and its fine maybe something is wrong with your system, why don't you try to restart your computer and see what happens or refresh.

Morning Ana
Thanks for checking up on me.
This issue has been taken care of.
It was a plugin.
There was another guy on the other side of the world who had same problem with a different plugin than mine.

Take a look at this and share if you or someone else come across this problem.

Hey all!!
Thanks for your support, you guys are awesome!!
Put in a support ticket and they found it was a plug in, "Piklist"
Got the author update and now to fix that email.
Larry

I don't see anything like that in my website dashboard so something is definitely wrong. It could be either your website, your browser or your computer. Better do a virus scan and, if you don't already have it, download malwarebytes anti-malware (just Google malwarebytes) and scan with that. If you haven't re-booted your computer for a while that maybe all that you need to do but I recommend malwarebytes for everyone. You can use the free version. ~Marion

Got it fixed Marion.

Glad you found it. Now go and have a beer with your wife.

That's a little odd, never heard of that happening before.
I know you've sent in a support ticket, but I have few questions.

When you click on "All Users" how many users do you see?

If it's the same in other browsers, I would try update/re-install wordpress.
See screenshot if not sure how http://take.ms/mrNz6
You'll not lose any or your work, it just reinstalls the backend stuff.

Thanks welshy
Will look into that but now I got to go get wife some BEER!!

Looked into WP blogs.
Was a blog saying 4.1. is updated to 4.1.1
I downloaded

Hmm, not sure on this one

Hi Larry,
I don't know what that is per say, however maybe you can take a screen shot and tell what theme you are using.

IE 1. Go to the website page with the problem.
2. Hit the "Print Screen" button on keyboard
3. Open Microsoft Paint, Hit Cnrtl+V to copy the screen capture into paint
4. Save file a JPEG and upload attach it with your question.
5. Also what theme you are using.

Robert

I tried Internet Explorer and my theme is 2015
My problem is in Word Press, Will your suggestion still work?
Do you mean cntrl=C instead of "v"?LOL
Thanks again bro

When you hit the print screen button that copeies what is on your screen. Then paste it into Paint

WOW!!

Hi Larry,
Some affiliate programs won't even look at you as a potential affiliate unless you have a 'domain specific' email address. By that I mean that your email address should be larry@guitarsandhowtoplay.com NOT a gmail address. If you're hosted at WA you can follow Kyle's instructions: Setting Up A Domain Specific Email Account. If you're hosted elsewhere you need to set up your email at your hosting provider. ~Marion
