Why does my featured image of my post not show when?
Why does my featured image of my post not show when I click share my post on facebook? But when I click on share my post on pinterest or gmail + it does show the featured image
featured images can be a bit fickle. With my yoast SEO plugin, I can choose the image I want to display.. Perhaps look at that?

If you don't use WA any longer. I don't get that part. If you have your site .com like thru name cheap. Does this mean it won't be a word press website any longer?
a domain name is just an address on the world wide web, just like your home has it's own name or number and you can keep that as long as you like and are paying for it, it will follow you around.
However, it is no good having and address (domain) if you do not have a house, and that is your hosting company, where you will direct your domain to, and that shows you to the world once published.
Most host providers also provide the service so that you can build a wordpress blog (or many blogs) and the advantage over going for the free wordpress available, it is your own blog and there is no annoying advertising.
I addressed this too a while ago: GoDaddy vs 1and1 - What Is Your Experience? Have You Bought Your Own Domain Yet? ...and came up with this solution: How To Point DNS Nameservers From NameSilo to WA Hosting Even if I wasn't hosting at WA, I'd probably choose NameSilo - check the comparison charts in the long run.
I don't think it won't be a WordPress site any longer, it can still be processed as a such.
You can have wordpress on just about any host, you'd have to ask your new host if they support it though. If your domain is through namecheap, you'll then have to contact them to change your DNS servers to the new hosts servers. If you want to keep all the stuff you have here, you'll have to go into the site manager on the left and do a backup.
Oh so just like I moved my .com when I bought it at name cheap to WA dns I would do the opposite and they would host it. So it would stay wordpress I take it. Then do a backup. I will check that out. Thanks much.
Thank you. Do they charge more than the $11 a year, is it a monthly fee also for them to host it.?

How would you go about finding a new host for your .com site?

Errors
URL not allowed
This url is not allowed for a Site
Probably you made a lot of changings to your website, and Google doesn't find what it had previously indexed. When it will re-index your website, those errors should disappear.
At least, this is my opinion based on my personal experience with Google Webmaster, but don't quote me... ;-)

Your right, it could be that, as I did receive a 404 error in the begging as I didn't see Kyle anywhere say never delete a page, to find out later that is a huge no no. Also I recently changed my theme, so maybe these are factors. But does this mean google is not recognizing me and my site is stagnate? I am trying so hard to build a great site and awesome posts .....
If you force G Webmaster to read again your sitemap.xml (you can do it), Google will re-index your website faster, maybe 1 or 2 days. Anyway, some more days. I don't think much more than this...

Hopefully :) they are probably getting tired of all my questions. But I am one who ask when I tried everything to figure it out but still can't. Or I just need to know. If we don't ask we will not know :)
yOU SHOULD FIND ANSWEAT TO ALL OF THE ERRORS INSIDE gOOGLE WEBMASTER TOOLS WEBSITE, IF NOT DO A GOOGLE SEARCH AND WRITE IN GOOGLE SEARCH THE SAME AS THE ERROR CODE SAID WHAT THE ERROR MESSAGE SAID, AND TAKE WHIT YOU IN THE SEARCH THAT ITS INSIDE THE GOOGLE WEBMASTER TOOL. iT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT GET SOME ERROR MESSAGES IN GOOGLE WEBMASTER TOOLS
Olastoe, this is what I found. Is this a bad thing that 132 times googlebot could not connect to my url? Or do you think it is normal and I should not worry? below is what it said---
Server errors for URLs
When you see this kind of error for your URLs, it means that Googlebot couldn’t access your URL, the request timed out, or your site was busy. As a result, Googlebot was forced to abandon the request.
Read more about Server connectivity errors.
What is a server connectivity error?
In this case, Google can't access your site either because the server is too slow to respond, or because your site is blocking Google. As a result, Google is forced to abandon the request.
Specific errors you might see include:
Connect timeout
Connect failed
Connection refused
No response
Truncated response
Connection reset
Truncated headers
Timeout
I just am not good at understanding this technical stuff but trying to learn. This sounds not good and may be why bing keeps telling me this for the 2 days I have been trying to set up my site with them. Here is what they keep saying when I try to verify my my site with them.
Timed Out
If you were adding a site or sitemap, we timed out trying to talk to your site. Please make sure the web page is up and visible on the web. If not, this may be a momentary issue; try again, or check back later.

What is the easiest way when I make a post to ad it to a certain page on my site ?
Not sure if I am understanding your question completely but here is one way:
What I did was assign my posts to "categories," which you can define and set in the right-hand column of the Wordpress Editor page.
Group your posts into a number of these categories, then add the categories as drop-down items in your main menu under the page you want them to be assigned to. You can have multiple categories listed under any give page.
Then, when someone clicks on one of your page titles, a drop-down menu will appear with the appropriate categories.
If this is along the lines of what you are asking, watch Labman's training demo at WordPress Categories Tutorial . He shows how to set this up through your dashboard.
