Hi Kyle! I am very sorry, but I have to opt out of Premium, I am having all kinds of medical issues, and I have been unemployed for over 3 years, I am waiting for my SSD. I do not have the time to sit and get this website built! Due to my lower back issues I cannot sit for long. I have to have another surgery on my lower back to replace all of the hardware that another spine surgeon put in! My new surgeon has to take it all out and redo it all! I mostly lay on the couch all day! I am so sorry, but I cannot do this. We are broke after 3 doctor visits last week alone! Please take me off of the premium plan! Thank you Gail Pair

HOW Can i cancel my account?

Hi DanielW1,
All you have to do is click on your picture in the top right hand corner of the main WA screen to get to Member Manager. Then click on "Stop Billing and Close account". Sorry to hear that you want to cancel your account; I wish you all the best. Hope this helps,
Deidre

I'll send you a PM with details.

how to Change of Address and 301 redirect for Google

I was also searching for this, in order to move a SiteRubix site (on a SiteRubix's subdomain) to a different host & domain.

I guess we need to use a WordPress plugin on our SiteRubix site to 301 redirect all the pages to the new domain.

Maybe this one here is a good option:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-301-redirects/

Thanks, Rich! That's what I did. In effect, the entire content was moved over to the new domain. I just don't want the Googlebot to whack-out, so to speak, about duplicate content. But if I understand you correctly, after having pointed the DNS in the right direction, I can just let the old site self-destruct (for lack of a better euphemism)?

Hi, Viterbi! I don't think I've tried that particular link. I'll look at it now :)

Yeah, if I understood your problem correctly, then it will help you.

It's about "telling" Google the proper way that you have changed address...

Thanks, Rich. (I don't even know what a siterubix is yet.) The move has already been made. I just would like to know how to 'tell' Google that I changed address, and do the proper 301 redirects, which I understand, would allow for a smooth transition.

Also, something strange happened: The system did not generate a password for me wherein I could complete the process of mail forwarding to Gmail. It worked for one site, but not for another (just my luck because I don't need mail forwarding to the one that had been given a password. )

So I'm wondering if I should just go to Google and try their new mail centrallizing system...

If the url doesn't have any content then you don't need to do any redirects. You just point the domain name here for the hosting by changing the DNS, https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/wa-hosting-setting-up-your-domain-dns The only time you need to consider redirects is if you are moving content. Rich.

It depends on exactly what you're trying to achieve, for example if you were transferring from siterubix to own domain, I'd recommend following this https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/transferring-from-siterubix-to-your-own-domain or if you're transferring from your own host to WA then this https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-transfer-a-wp-site-to-wa-hosting etc. etc. Rich.

Hi, Kids! I spent too much time on the header menu trying to get it in this order: HOME, ABOUT US, CONTACT US. No matter what I do, it doesn't follow this order. I'm counting on yo

Hi, Wendy'! Sorry, I'm pretty sure I wasn't accurate in describing the problem; no matter how I update it, the menu reads at the top in this order: CONTACT US, ABOUT US, HOME. The order I'd like is: HOME, ABOUT US, CONTACT US. This would be less boring than the former, wouldn't you think? :D

Yes as welshy said, a custom menu is what you need. I thinks it's actually a feature of Wordpress.

Oh, no- I just got this message! :o Anyway, the link you provided on Top 3 important Google things reminds me to get back to fixing my e-mail forwarding. Should I go to Google and follow their instructions on how to centralize everything, or how about sending me tutorial links on it? :D

I'm going to fiddle around with themes because, after your header tutorial, I don't want to lose the cute bumblebee I found from iconfinder.com :D

Hi Melinda, if the theme supports custom menu's you can follow along to this video http://youtu.be/2u7i--EBZxc

The Duotone is an old theme that hasn't been updated in over two years and doesn't support custom menus.
