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...
Loris
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.

I did the DNS to change my cheerstocleaning.siterubix.com to cheerstocleaning.com, it has been 2 days but WA still shows my site as a siterubix. Namecheap even says transfer b
Your domain name hasn't transferred, I just checked it. Follow the training Jean gave you. Once you've done that use the "move" tool to move your SiteRubix site to your own domain. http://screencast.com/t/XDrt2WnrhU
The things I have out there now with all the posts pointing to siterubix, will they still now point to my .com domain ?
Suetay, YOU ARE MY HERO FOR TODAY !! That was it. That was the last step that I did not do. Thank you so much. All is good to go now. WooooHoooo :) :) :)
That's GREAT to hear Michele!
I was hesitating to comment in case I was asking a question which was of no help to you. :)
Yes, everything in your siterubix domain will now show in your .com domain, and you just continue building your site on the .com domain from now on. You don't have to do anything to your siterubix site at all.
Sooooooo glad you answered me. Sometimes it's the smallest details that get over looked and then it's simple but hard to figure out the answer. Thanks again sue :)
You're most welcome, Michele. :)
That's why we need to watch a video more than once sometimes!
I took the liberty of comparing your WhoIs DNS settings on Namecheap against the one's for my domain and to me they look exactly alike - so that may not be the issue.
What i did notice though is that when I did the search on my domain name under WhoIs - I got a little picture of the front page of my site appear next to the search.
But on your site search - that picture didn't appear - but instead showed a picture of a camera crossed out (which I take to mean that it can't get a picture from your site?)
So maybe the move from the siterubix domain to your own domain hasn't worked properly?
If you got he .com domain you wanted I would not transfer it back. It may not be available again.
I just checked if the domain is here yet https://www.whatsmydns.net, and it's not. I would go back and see if you have the dns pointing correctly to WA. I did a training on how to find this in your back office at Namecheap How To Point The DNS To Wealthy Affiliate From Your Back Office At Namecheap
When I transferred mine the siterubix stayed visible....I do not believe it disappears. I just work on the domain I purchased from name cheap. Good luck.
