Hello WA Community,
Good day! I am just curious how do you write your Refunds on your Terms and Conditions if we are doing affiliate marketing purely (for example, with
With affiliate marketing and Amazon, Amazon will take care of refunds, it is not your concern.
You would include an affiliate disclosure
It should be clearly visible in the primary menu. Disclosure is typically a page.
You also need a shorter disclosure as close as possible to the first affiliate link in a post, either above or below the link.
For Amazon, it has to say "as an Amazon Associate I may earn from qualified purchases" and this has to be directly above your first Amazon link in post.

About terms and conditions and refunds?

Thank you Eric so I don't need Terms of Service at all? Or just remove any refund policy from it? Since terms of service doesn't only contain refund policy. Like fair use, binding, if users can comment or submit content or create accounts, intellectual property rights, creative commons license for media, etc.
You’re affiliate disclosure and privacy policy cover everything on your end if you’re simply promoting other merchants’ products and services.
If you’re selling your own products or services then sure, you’d want to have T&C’s and returns policies.
Remember, people aren’t buying from you or returning items to you, nor do they think they are. They buy directly from the merchant. :)

Hello WA Family,
I am just curious what are your experiences with google's pagespeed insights. In some days, my website has about 80 to 90 grades desktop and about 50 to
I always compare it to Google Site Speed insights to make sure it is accurate. If you use Google to check it out, it will give you ways to correct errors and warnings.
I’ve never had a site fluctuate that differently. That does seem strange. All I can think, is that your cache isn’t being generated correctly. Are you using SitePlus+ set to Accelerated or Extreme?
When you look at the break down that is causing the issues, especially when it is in the red, what are the culprits?
What are your opinionsexperiences about pagespeed insights?

Hello WA Family,
So this past few days, I've become interested with the Divi theme, watching a lot of videos and even tried the demo in their website and I think I can do
You have both options. You can go yearly for 89 and if you like it after using for a while you can upgrade to lifetime which i think is 249$. But i suggest to watch yt videos first to see if you'll like it.
Hi Lemuel, I've been using the Divi theme for three years and love it. I moved my site to the Divi theme and all of my text and images were moved as well. I did go into my site to check that everything was as it should be but didn't encounter any problems that required editing.
It sounds as though you haven't purchased Divi yet and I also wanted to mention that they provide a support desk. When you log in there's a chat box at the bottom left on your screen. They send a response via chat as well as your email which you provide when you purchase the product.
Support can be busy and that's my only complaint as it can take a day for them to get back to you. Although I've heard back from in a short period of time so it depends on busy they are.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for the insights Elaine! Another question, will my existing post be divided into sections or one large section? Yes I haven't bought it yet and thanks for the additional info about the support. I'm thinking with a theme as forever as Divi, I figured I need to start early. My current theme is not being updated nor I am receiving any support from it. So it is time to move on.
My sections transferred just fine. That's the great thing about their support. If you encounter a problem let them know. Divi provides a way for you to let them look at your website if needed. It's easy to do and they give you instructions.
You won't have a problem with updates as I receive them regularly on my website. They constantly try to improve so you'll seeing updates often.
Another thing I wanted to pass along and I'm not sure they're still doing it, but I suspect they are. At the end of the year I was given an opportunity to sign up for a lifetime membership. It's a great deal and I certainly took advantage of it.
Thanks again Elaine, I am planning to go yearly first as I have little extra for now then if I am offered the yearly for a great deal, then we'll go from that.
Sounds like a plan!! I, too, started out doing the yearly which will give you a chance to use the theme for a while. If you're happy then you can take advantage of their lifetime offer.
Hi Elaine I just made the switch and I don't see any problems thank you so much! Now I need maybe a week to re-work my existing posts & pages.
Excellent, I'm glad the transfer was successful. You going to love all the options you'll have. I watched a ton of videos. If I didn't understand something I'd put it in the search bar and a huge list of tutorials came up.
Elegant Themes and Divi also have groups on Facebook that you might want to check out. Use both names in the search bar to get the best choices.
definitely don't use word as an editor - it has a lot of baggage you don't see
try something like thingamablog or notepad++ as an editor.
essentially divi should be a styling plugin
so you should be able to create page templates and use them to style your post and pages
just watch out for site speed as it is adding another layer on top of wordpress.

Hello thanks for the advise. Yes i just used Word as an example for pasting so I can re-structure my posts in the Divi builder by just copy pasting my existing texts. I will not do any editing in it, never have.

Hello WA Family,
Good day to you all!
So here is my problem. The title of my website and the navigation menu have the same background. Is it possible to s
Hi there,
It looks like you've made progress, however I think you could add some left and right padding that would improve the appearance.
I've added 2 screenshots: with padding and without padding.
To add the padding you just need to add this to your Additional Customisations:
#masthead a {
padding:0 20px;
}
Cheers,
Martin.
Both elements are affected and If I can just separate these two elements' background. Thank you!
I know that you said that you did not want to change themes but the Divi Theme will do everything that you need easily.
You can add the natural background as well.
Hello Labman,
Thank you for the suggestion. May I know the exact name of the theme? There are a lot of themes showing up when I type Divi.
Hi Chrys,
Thank you for the reply but if you can look at my screenshot if I set it transparent below the navigation menu and submenus background will also be transparent. The submenu texts will overlap with whatever text behind it in the article.
When setting the a {background-color: transparent;} it reaveals a further two colours. Find where they are set, and you can change those as well
I just had a few moments free, so jumped back on to your website, but looks like you've resolved the issue, well done :-)
The only thing I've noticed, is the Additional CSS you have added is the following
a {background-color: #000000b0;}
I think you mean #000000 for the HEX Value
Hi Chrys,
Yes thank you I was still experimenting the colors. I think I got it. Thank you so much for your help!
The only problem remaining is in my samsung phone internet app the menus are still transparent. I already refreshed with no success. I'll try Chrome app.
Ooooh :-( that theme isn't mobile friendly with it's navigation, you might want to investigate that
This is what it looks like if I make the background black both will be affected (title and navigation menu)
If you are using chrome you can use Developer tools to modify the css and see the result instantaneously.
On your browser, click right on the Three points, more tools and developper tools. It will open a window with the code of your page. You can test and then copy the result to your website.

Hi WA Family,
Not sure if this is a valid question, is the notification when google index your website reccuring? I mean when your website goes up the ranks gradually. Wi
Hey Lemuel,
Think of websites like library books. I'm sure you are familiar with libraries, right?
Every time a new book is introduced into a library, the staff have to index it so that their system knows that they have that book available for those who wish to read up on that book or even just the topic the book is about.
That is the same system Google uses when indexing websites. So, do they repeat indexing... there is no need to repeat index what is already known.
Indexing has nothing to do with ranking. However, a website cannot be ranked if it is not indexed, but that is for obvious reasons... right?
Hope this makes sense and makes the term "indexing" easier to understand.
Hi - indexing means that Google has found your website and added it to its search engine. So you only get one notification. Following on from that, each post is indexed individually and you will get an email to notify you. This is nothing to do with ranking which occurs much later.
Thank you so much! Its clear already. I wonder which email will google send? My email used in WA affiliate? Or the email in SiteEmail?
Everytime your content is indexed you will receive an email.
Ramking occurs down the track with excellent keyword rich content and you can check this with Jaaxy- There is also training for this along the way
I hope this helps
