Thank you, I just saw your message, I'm going back through it right now.

You are welcome, Logan :) Please keep us updated on your progress.

Hey Logan,

Did you test your form yourself to see if it works for you? If it does not, then you will need to do some troubleshooting.

If you have never tested it... then there's your issue. Go back to the setup instructions to make sure you did not skip even one tiny step. Then, test the form before releasing it to be used.

Hope you find this helpful.

Yes, thank you! I just got back and saw your message. I am working back through it right now!

It could only be a slight glitch! Perhaps give it a little time!

When I Google my site why does it come up with Welcome to your premium WA website?

It does typing site:[domain].com - replacing domain with yours

see image

I think I got it this time! Thanks for following up with me.

Hey Logan,

Perhaps you were hoping to discover what has been indexed on your website by Google. If so... check out the screen print below...

Please note the query used to obtain this information so that you can use it in the future.

Hope you find this helpful.

Thank you Triblu! Did you notice in those results you sent me, that the last one said welcome to your" premium website" and when you bring it up its not my site other than the header is, and if you click home it takes you to my landing page!

Bets there's a page inside that you've forgotten to delete.

Check under pages... it's there or it's the very first blog post... either way it is ON your website.

O.K. Thanks I will check that. I think you are right!

Eeeek, Logan... it's still there!

Log into your website's dashboard... and THEN click the following link:
https://spokanedentalconsultants.com/welcome-to-your-new-website/

From the TOP of that linked page (URL above), click Edit and simply delete the post or put it in Draft mode, if you prefer.

O.k. Thank you, I am trying it right now

Yes I found it! Thank you so much for following up with me.

Pheeew! Good that you finally removed it. Was it a page or a post? ...not that it matters. Just curious.

Yeah, it was a post! Just the original front page of the WA template, kinda strange I don;t really know how I wound up with it like that, I loose track of what I'm doing sometimes!!

Hi Logan,

I looked at your website and everything is ok

It looks good and your buttons open as well.

Nothing to worry about.

Regards

Brian

Thank you Brian!

Did you try refreshing the page, or clearing your cache?

Yes I did. It has been that way since I published the site several days ago. The site comes up perfect the way it should when I log in. If I Google it it does;nt bring up the front page as indicated when viewing from the hub.

Can I ask what is the websites url?

Did you refresh your browser cache as well?
:-)
Richard

I just tried it and it came up in the google results just fine, nothing about WA. I'm guessing this is an issue on your side, but rest assured, it's coming up in the google search just fine for others.

Thank you! Does it say welcome to your "premium" website and then it is basically an advertisement page for the Wa template in the search results?

No, the webpage opens up just fine, and all your links work as should as well.

Hi Logan
Just in case you missed my question.
Did you clear your browser's cache as well as your site cache at WA?
:-)
Richard

Yes Richard and thank you!

Thanks for the help! It very well could be another Chrome problem. I also may have published before I had finished the page and its just out there still, sometimes on Google. The welcome message was part of the WA template I used. I am glad its showing up good for some of you. Thanks again!

Is it Wealthy Affiliate's Policy to simply not respond to problems with billing? I have sent Kyle three messages over the last 4-5 days regarding WA taking $697.00 off my cred

I understand this can be alarming but Kyle is not to blame here. I don't know if you contacted support on this but my guess is your issue had be answer since you post this 48 hours ago.

I would not jump to conclusions; Kyle is accommodating and very supportive. I am also with Dale here. You have FANTASTIC responses.

No, that’s not the policy. Kyle responds and in all of the instances I have seen he has been very helpful.

He has probably just been very busy, but I assure you, he will get back to you.

Hi - the figure of $697 represents annual payment of Premium Plus membership.

I suggest you leave a comment on Kyle's profile page alerting him to the private messages you have sent.

No response to billing problems?

I would like to download some tropical beach and island pictures that are captioned as to where they are. Such as Fiji , Maya Bay, Easter Island, ect. that type of stuff.

Hey Logan,

You can add images very efficiently as a Premium member within SiteContent. You will add images using the "image" icon within the editing tool bar. (see attached)

You have over 1+ million HD images to choose from within SiteContent, And you can also upload your own images, crop, align, link, and upon publishing your content, they will be compressed and optimized for maximum efficiency and load times on your web.

If you want to create images, you can do so efficiently through AI platforms like Bing Create.

https://bing.com/create

SO that is an option as well, and you can create amazing, high quality images based on your "input" with these AI image generation platforms.

Awesome! Thanks

Thanks for this Kyle.

I thought that option disappeared recently, because I no longer see that option.

When I click on the image icon, I'm offered a pop-up window to upload of drag and drop my own image. See screen print below...

NOW I see that you have to actually use the text box and type in what you're looking for FIRST and THEN the Search button appears.

Now I get it.

You have FANTASTIC responses here; kindly let us know if you require additional assistance.

Yes thank you! I responded and thanked Phil and apache1, 18 hours ago!

That's fabulous :)

You can also use AI images like Bing Creator, Text to Image app via Canva Magic Media, DALL-E via ChatGPT-4 (paid), Leonardo.AI (free and paid) and MidJourney (paid)

Than you!

You're welcome :)

These are some you can check out outside of site content

You can also try some AI areas as well now days.

Note some are free to use while others may need to be paid for so check the requirements of what each site states first before downloading and don't use Google images as they are generally copywrite

Awesome!! That will take me a while to go through!! I'll talk to you in about a month lol!!

Ha hopefully sooner than that just take one step at a time and don't rush too quickly enjoy your day and rest of the week ahead.

Cheers

I use Pixabay for most of my free images, but there are lots of places that you can source them from.

Check out this post: You can also use AI sites such as ChatGPT4, Leonardo and Adobe Firefly to get images based on the description you supply.

Thanks Phil, I'll try Pixabay.

I noticed that my WA banners are not linking to WA when clicked on? Anybody have that problem?

Hey Logan! I'm pretty sure you've already figured this all out but I wanted to share with you a quick video tutorial I did based on this question you had so you could visualize the steps I mentioned in my original answer to you :) Take care man!

Thank you for that Eric! I wound up being able to just download the banners again and they worked. But Nice to have what you just sent. I need to learn this better! Talk to you again

Glad to help :)

You need to copy the whole thing and past in a custom HTML (see images)

You may need to empty the browser cache, refresh, and try again. Try the URL in a different browser or mobile device.

You can also empty the servers cache.

Or

Try Ctrl + F5 on your keyboard.
For MAC: Hold ⌘ the Cmd and ⇧ Shift key and press R.
Shift + Command + R for a MAC

Thanks for the info, did most of that . I deleted all the banners, then downloaded them again and reinstalled them as per training. Now they work perfectly. I must have made a mistake somewhere last time on this site. Working now , thanks for all the input.

You can also design custom ones in the Canva app to suit your blog taste, feel, and style - it doesn't take long.

I am glad you're all figured now.

Thanks for the help

Np :) You are most welcome.

Use the second option with the HTML code which has your affiliate link embedded in there.

Also check as Trish stated see if you have an ad blocker you can also check via incognito mode to test it out.

Trish did't read my question. The only problem I am having is getting it to where I want it on the page if I do it the way Eric showed me. The banners are on my page , so if I delete one and create the HTML block how do I get it to the spot where the banner was?

Once you have that banner up on the site click on the banner and at the top you will see and up and down arrow buttons click the up arrow and it will bring it to where you want it to go or the down arrow if you want is lower once done then update

Yeah , its like the banner opens in a new page that way. My page has been done for a month I just happened to be viewing it live and clicking through and checking it out, that's when I noticed that the banners don't click .

also apart from clearing your browser cache go to site manager but instead of logging in click details scroll down a bit and you will see clear cache click that until you get a green tick and this will clear your website cache as well

Yeah, I know how to do that, did it already multiple times, Banners are all working just fine on my other sites. I Guess I'll just delete these , can't operate with tools that don't work.

Ok not sure why not on this one perhaps might be best to delete and redo it as you did on your other sites

Kyle sent me a message about menus and a light bulb went off in my head, and I did just exactly what you just said, deleted all the banners, downloaded them again and bingo they work perfectly!! Thanks for all the help.

That is wonderful to hear great work now you can relax and enjoy everything else
Andre

Hey Logan,

Not sure why you cannot see a banner... unless of course you have AdBlocker installed on your browser.

In going to the banners page and copying and pasting my affiliate link and then the banner link (image) itself, both worked fine for me.

Can you please provide me with the URL where you cannot see your banner?

In this way I may be able to assist you better.

I can see the banner and I pasted my link into it. saved it, even cleared the cashe. Still when viewing the site live and clicking on it nothing happens!

I will still need to URL to see if you've added the link properly or not, Logan.

If it makes you feel better to send it to me in a DM, please do feel free to do so. I do understand when members prefer privacy.

Is it the html link that is displayed above the banner that I should add or is it the link that we copy? that says copied after it is clicked?

It's the link that says copied after its clicked.

Thanks Danny, That 's what I had done and when I hover over it in page edit it shows that its a good link. when I go out and open a new tab and Google the site everything links to WA except the banners!

Hmm, Have you tried clearing your cache?

I have, I'll do it again

When you go into your banners here at WA, each banner's code already has your affiliate link built into it. You don't have to paste any links into it. You just copy the banner code in the grey box and when placing it into a post, or a widget, you'll just use an html code block, paste the full code into it, and it will create the banner.

Your affiliate link is automatically built into your banners. A quick look at the code in the grey box and you'll notice your unique affiliate code already there.

Thanks Eric. I'll give that a try

That way just puts the HTML on the page. Is there a special way to use an HTML code block? The training showed how to add the banners and that's how I did it. They don't work, all the other links work however.

When using the block editor in your wordpress back office, just hit the + sign to add a block, then type in "html" and it will pull up the custom html block which is a specific type of block you use to add html code :)

Don't worry. You'll figure it out. It's really easy.
You just paste in your code, click preview, and you're good to go.

Awesome! Thank you

No prob!
