Why no wordpress notifications?
I have stopped getting notifications from WordPress about pending comments on any of my websites. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Did you check your settings ,maybe you turned of your moderation of comments? Also check if you did not misspell your email address.
I'm using the menu option to display a list of posts in a specific category. Is there some way to eliminate the words "Category Archives:" at the top of the list? I only want to
i take it you have had a poke around in the customize part of your theme...
which theme are you using - as there are quite a few to choose from....
you maybe able to do this with siteorigin css plugin - finding the text class and setting it to hidden or similar....
I did try that, unsuccessfully. I think I will pursue a different approach to listing posts by category with shortcode. Thanks.
i'm suprised as most things can be sorted this way...
you maybe able to use the query loop or get a plugin with a better query loop...
Yeah, you can edit this. That is a Recent Posts widget, and you are in full control of those. You can learn about widgets in this quick little training resource: How to Group Widgets in Your Sidebar If you need anything else moving forward, let me know. :)
Thanks, not quite what I'm looking for. On my primary menu, I've added the option to display posts in a specific category (Reviews). But when the list of posts displays, it has the words "Category Archives: Reviews" at the top. I'm trying to find a way to get rid of that title. I think, though, that this might be theme specific.

I have a PDF file displayed on my website. I want it to display page 2 by default without losing the ability to scroll back to page 1 or ahead to the remaining pages. Is there
if the link is modified to add this to the end then it may display page 2 automatically on opening....
you can still move around as normal...
To target an HTML link to a specific page in a PDF file, add #page=[page number] to the end of the link's URL
depending on how you are showing the pdf at the moment...

I'm trying to find something in the toolbar or settings that will let me comment out an entire block so that it does not show in the post without deleting it.
Does the block editor allow you to comment out a block so that it does not display?

I have noticed that my Google searches are now one continuous scrolling page, not multiple pages like they used to be. Is anyone else seeing this or is it some setting I have c
Good observation I noticed it too.
I see you have awesome responses, kindly let us know if you require additional assistance.
Hey Larry,
Continuous scroll was introduced on mobile in October 2021, and on Desktop in December 2022.
BUT
The Desktop version has only been rolled out to "English Queries in the US".
Therefore, we are yet to see this on the other side of the pond.
Essentially, this is to enhance the searcher's experience.
Many searchers "give up" at first attempt in they don't find the answer to their query on the first page.
Whereas, there is research and statistics which say that some searchers who REALLY want to know the answer to a query with search up to 4 pages deep into Google... hence the new scrolling feature.
As for "ranking on page one", while a lofty goal for new starters, I would think that the vast majority of SEOs over the years have specifically aimed for the top 3 spots.
The difference for ranking at number one and number nine, even for a longtail keyword, could literally be thousands of monthly visitors.
However, it will be difficult to pull any statistics from just one single month of Desktop continuous scrolling.
But, you can guarantee that within about 3 months many of the "Big Names" in the industry will have written about this, made videos, and will compare their "pre-scrolling" statistics with their "post-scrolling" statistics.
That will be interesting to see.
I would say that one thing everyone can do in the meantime is to focus on more captivating TITLES.
So, whereas if you were ranking in position 15 a couple of months ago you could probably expect ZERO traffic from that search term.
However, now, with continuous scroll, you almost get a second bite at the cherry.
So, it makes sense to make your article (esepcially the title) stand out above your competitors.
I'm sure this will lead to many "clickbait" titles:
"Do You Want to Know How I Lost Weight By eating 52 Quarterpounders?"
(Clearly, the answer will be, I had one "cheat meal" a week over the course of a year, LOL).
But, I guess it's a great opportunity for everyone to work on their copywriting skills.

I was specifically talking about desktop. I have to force myself to even check mobile to see how my stuff looks. I'm not a phone guy.
Hi, Larry
Sometimes it can be fun to take a look at your keyword on a mobile device in the Google SERPS to see if any of your content's images show up as part of Google Discover.
Discover images won't show up on a non-mobile device.
Discover is also a ranking metric in GSC under the "Performance" heading.

Hi, Larry
I had been noticing Google testing this continuously scrolling format on my laptop for the past month.
This may be the new results format going forward for 2023, which would match the Google mobile search results.
It won't make any significant difference in terms of what's important from an affiliate marketing point of view. We don't have to know exactly where our results fall in the SERPS. You can still get a rough idea and, more importantly, what's above the fold on page one in terms of UGC, etc.
The data in GSC and GA are still the most important metrics for your website. You may also consult Jaaxy Site Rank or a similar tool
I'm certain one of the other WA members will have more specific information on your question.
Happy New Year!
Frank 😎🎸
Thanks Frank. I think "above the fold" is a variable but still shows the importance of being near the top.
Hi, Larry
Yes, indeed, it is variable. Everything in the search engine world is in a state of continuous flux. 😊
I only used the Google SERPS to see my competition on page one for a particular keyword. However, you can still get a rough idea of the same info with the continuously scrolling format.
GSC will tell you how each published article ranks over time.
