I did the latest WP update a couple of days back; my theme is "Pacify". Immediately, I was unable to use Visual to write; it went to Text. I could not get it back to Visual. Li

Hi Eddy and Paul, I did the update because there was a call to do so by other WA members, citing security issues with WP. When I went to my site to update, there was an update notice already there, telling me I need to update. So I did. I loathe updates because of the unknowns. Everything is working now though.

Glad to hear it Mary. WA forces the updates because of security reasons. But unfortunately not all the themes and plugins we may use were updated around the same time. So it's a gift and curse.

maybe best not to update

I have a comment which is pertinent to the post but the commenter address is another affiliate marketer ( not WA ). Right now it's pending; I'm undecided. The commenter cites a

Just trash it:)

Just as Paul says.

Go to dashboard and lcomments and select and delete - easy

Yes, they can be!

I believe that you can delete the backlink of the commenter (URL of the comment) which will help your SEO if you want to keep the comment. I have edited their comment before publishing it to make the comment more useful.
I believe there is a lesson that Jay refers to that it is best to delete the URL of the comment.
Good question; I hope this helps

Thank you, I had not thought of deleting the URL - too busy to think today.

You can trash it or you can research the product then decide.

I did go to their site and it seemed legit.

Trying to add link to story here: www.truthdig.com/eartotheground/item/ad-blocking softwar

Thank you electrobot!

Hi MaryESS. I clicked on that link and was taken to a page that said:

"Sorry, Page Not Found

We dug around, but couldn't find that page for you."

There is a lot of ad blocking software, usually in the form of browser plugins. I've used these plugins before, however, I am not concerned that they will disrupt affiliate marketing. I am quite familiar with this type of software. If you'd like more information, I'll be glad to help you.

Hi - thank you for the quick reply - I am curious as to why that link was not accessible. Anyway, the article cited cases in German courts where the ad blocking software was being contested because it specifically made it difficult, if not impossible, for bloggers to make income. In other words, affiliate marketers. I am always somewhat skeptical of anything I read, but this one had me concerned.

Hi MaryESS. It is good to see that you are on the lookout. Keep posting content, and you won't need to worry about the ad blockers. As long as you have traffic coming to your site regularly, you will do great.

I have a domain name and site name and next step is a theme. I just drew a blank, not getting anywhere with that. Thanks

Hi Mary, this comes down to personal choice, but help is at hand? Have a look at what my good friend Marion here at WA has for us all.
See if this helps..? if so drop her a thank you comment.

There is a feature filter when you search through wordpress. Just select a few features you would like and browse. You can keep changing it with your content via the "live preview" function until you find something that you like. Hope that helps :)

Thanks - that is a big help!
