Core “Business Start Up” Training

Hello All, A local company has built a very technical website for me and will take care of it until we see if the venture is successful or not. If successful, I will take over

I don't think it's a good idea. If successful, they may not give it to you.

Personally I wouldn't pay anyone to create a website on a domain name that I didn't own.

I probably didn't explain myself very well here. I instructed the web design company which domain name i wanted and showed them what was required on the website. Once it is up and running and I am happy with it, I will pay for the work done and own the domain. Depending on how successful it is, I will either pay this company to continue with the upkeep, or move the website and maintain it myself

You can create social media pages and link to or share whatever you like :) If you linked to some random site and started building traffic that was going to that site I seriously doubt the owner would have any problem with it, right? And in this case, even though you're not running it yet, I'd imagine you're still the person who gets paid when it profits, no? So build as much traffic to it as you can.

And if you see that it really isn't worth paying guys to run it all, you have this training platform right here so you can build a site of your own from scratch.

Thanks a lot Eric. That makes sense. Now all I need to do is read up on building social media pages......

Hey that's what the training is here for, right? Take your time with it and build organically. Don't fall for the pay for traffic deals that just give you followers that are bots.

Glad to help, man!

Hi All, I turned on the SSL and then logged into the website but received the "Bad Gateway" notice. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks a lot Marion. I will start working through this

I have a green padlock!! Thanks a lot Marion. Do I leave the Content corrector plugin activated?

I did on the old sites because when I deactivated it the padlock disappeared. My new site (just a landing page) is OK without the plugin.

OK, Thank you. I will try without the plugin and see what happens.

U need to set SSL in Google too, here is some training
and

Thanks a lot Gunnertwist. This is what I need to do. I had no idea....

I thought I posted a page of my website yesterday but i can't find it now. Is there anywhere that i can go to to see all my posts?

I don't see you posted anything, your counter is still on zero

Sorry. I didn't mean blog. I put the link to one of my web pages into a discussion to request feedback

Aha, I understand, sometimes you need to scroll down ages, depends on how many people used the thread after you

I am trying to create a main menu. When I go to "appearance" then "Menu", all the tutorials show the pages on the left hand side of the page. I cannot see any pages or posts. T

It probably has to do with your theme setting, if you've tried it all and it still doesn't show up, I would pick a new theme.

All the best!

Thanks a lot for your help.


If your pages are visible in the dashboard but can't be added to the menu:

Have you checked to ensure that the pages have been published rather than being designated as drafts? (Please don't ask how I know to check for this.)

Bob, you are a star.... Problem solved. Thank you. You have saved my computers' life :)

You have to scroll down when you are in menus
There you can check a box
Primary menu or top menu or something
When you have checked that box, it will appear

Thanks Loes. This isn't working. I tried going through to customizing menus and found a custom link to "Home" This is the URL to my site. Should I remove that?

Try to create a new menu, then scroll down and check the box before "primary menu" and see what is appearing then

I created a new menu but everything has remained the same. would reloading the theme make any difference?

I don't know, you can try, it should be there if you did everything correctly. Perhaps it's something with your theme. In that case, tech support has to handle it.

Thanks Loes. I think that I need to go back and start from scratch. Maybe I have made a mistake somewhere that I cannot track.

Let me know if you need a hand

Thank you. I appreciate it
