Hi,
My concern is that my website is about sewing and how to sew beautifully, I'm writing my 2nd niche article and I'm beginning to realize that I'll need more than AI imag

First, you can publish posts; they're not set in stone... You can edit them anytime in the future and do not change the slug URLs, especially if they're indexed.

You can fetch quality videos off YouTube and embed those or do your own content and upload them to a YouTube channel of your own.

You can write the posts, and later add the videos.

Hi Abie,
You really helped me, I don't feel so overwhelmed. I'm not sure how to fetch quality videos and imbed them but I'll will learn! And I feel so much better knowing that I don't have to make my own videos all the time...Eeeek that scares me.

I do have one question, when referring to editing older posts, what do you mean by, 'do not change the 'slug' URL's especially if they're indexed.' I didn't understand any of that.

Thanks for making my day better.
Laura

Say if your original post is, how do I sew? (as a keyword)

[domain].com/how-do-i-sew

When updating your post, do not change the above URL, especially if your post has already been indexed. But certainly, you can change everything else.

Changing the URL; to Google would be a new post, any ranking that has been done would be lost. Abie

Thank you so much! I totally understand what your saying and my google ranking would be lost.

As well I appreciate the link on how to imbed videos into my website.

You are the best!!

You are welcome.

Hi, I just finished adding my policy page and publishing it but it's not appearing on the menu page. I refreshed the page but that didn't work. I have other items appearing in

Have you also added it to your menu in Appearance > Menus and saved your changes.

You're the best, thanks for coming back and suggesting to add it to the menu. That was the issue. Duh! Have a great day!!

You're welcome, Laura!

Hi,
I thought creating an email would be simple. I went into Site email to set up a new email for my domain sewnewyork.com and wanted to set it up with the email laura@sewn

If you own a premium domain, you can.

Websites top menu > Site manager > Site Email https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/email Sometimes, you may have a space before or after rendering it invalid.

Also, you may refresh your browser, empty the cache, etc.

Hi Abie,
Thank so much, I was entering my email wrong and the video showed me how to do it and it's done. Enjoy your day!!

That's perfect, Laura! I am superbly happy for you.

Hi,
I'm trying to get into the back office for my site FoodsFromRome.com When I try to login, the user name was Admin not the username that I normally use which is my email,

You can choose whose user to use when logging in - your domain in the site manager would have those details.

With Gravatar, you need to end the same credentials for it to work.

Please keep us updated :)

Hi Abie,
Thank you for your help. So it's baby steps for me, sadly, at any rate I did get in, thank you but I can only log in with Admin and not my email as I had originally done.

So is the next step to create the new user (is this separate from creating a Gravatar) I did create a Gravatar but have not been able to use it because it seems connected to the Admin user. I'm hoping I'm onto something.

You can go to your user tab, input your first, then choose from a drop-down menu saving changes. So you turn your admin in your first name.

Alternatively, you may add a username in your name, leaving 'Admin' intact - but you need a different email address.

Then, you can use the newer email address to sign up for Gravatar again. and use it. It is essential to note the credentials you signed up to Gravatar to each account as they auto-populate. They have to be th e exact credentials per account and also so that you do not get confused.

I hope this helps :)

Also, if you look at my attachment does it look all wrong. I have Admin next to my gravatar image, then under name is my full name and for email, I have laura@foodsfromrome.com but I usually use Sewingwithlaura@gmail.com to log in, sorry I'm confused. I haven't been able to leave comments for folks websites because the gravatar is connected to Admin.

You can change that admin to say 'Laura' in your user's tab. That's not an issue :)

Perhaps you'd want to log in to Gravatar and adjust the credentials so you can use it. It has to be the same if the pro one - then change it.

Hi Abie, it took awhile but I was finally able to get my admin changed to my name along with my gravatar, thanks so much!!

Perfect and I appreciate the update Laura :)

Hi Laura,

Have you tried logging into your back-office from within your Hub? You should not need to enter your email or password when logging in via WA.

In your hub, click on "Login to Back Office", and then choose the user who you wish to login as. Then click login.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/hubs

Let me know if you continue to have issues.

Hi Carson,
Yes I'm still having this issue, I did try to log in from my back-office from the hubs page. But the user that comes up is Admin, not my email which is what I usually use, sewingwithlaura@gmail.com
I thought it might have to do with setting up my gravatar wrong, but I don't really know. Thanks!

Mark has your answer. Contact site support for sure.

Yes, thanks, I'll reach out to site support.
