I want my posts to appear in individual boxes instead of the flat page. How can I do this?

This will depend on your theme. The Astra theme offers the boxed in posts, that is what I use currently.
Hope this is helpful.

Hey Nancy,

Perhaps you are meaning you want your posts displayed on your blog roll with short paragraphs rather than the full length posts.

If so, then the following tutorial may offer you the help you seek: Hope you find this helpful.

Hi Nancy, I do believe that would be a theme related situation. My posts do appear in their own category, not sure if that is what you are looking for though. Perhaps we could exchange URL's in a PM.

Hi :)

Making posts into little boxes is called a magazine style. If you have a theme that supports that, then you would probably change it in the customize area. You can find that under "appearance" on your WordPress dashboard.

If your theme doesn't support it, then you would have to get a theme that does. Not all of them do.

If you do need to find a new theme for that, I would make that my next question. Ask people if they can recommend a good magazine style theme.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean but I will try to help :-)

I can only suggest that you play around with different themes and see if there is another one that presents the posts the way you hope for. Can you take a screenshot to demonstrate?

I purchased an API key for the EWW plugin but it won't save in my dashboard. How can I get it so save?

Hey Nancy,

Contact SiteSupport and let them know exactly what you did and what reaction you received... and be sure to provide them with your API key so they can install if for you.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks. I'll do that.

I am not sure, mine installed automatically, It may be the theme. Why don't you type the question in the black strip above your profile page

I want to get rid of the "uncategorized" notation on my posts. How can I do that?

Hey Nancy,

Here is a video to show you how: Hope you find this helpful.

Thanks, Trish, that's a really helpful video.
Colette and Philip

Thank YOU Colette and Philip for letting me know this helped you.

Thanks for the info. I don't want any categories so I just deleted the "uncategorized" and left it blank. That seemed to work.

In your posts - categories section just rename the uncategorised with something relevant to your Niche.

When editing a post, simply uncheck the 'Uncategorized' box in the categories section on the right-hand menu. Let me know if the screenshot I attached is helpful!

Thanks for the reply. I tried that but the check mark keeps coming back after I update. Is it possibly a theme related issue?

Are you also replacing it with another category? I believe that it will revert to 'Uncategorized' if you don't replace it with another category, even if you uncheck the box...also, what theme are you running?

I left the category field blank since I don't want categories. That worked as my posts no longer have categories listed. I'm using Chic Lifestyle Pro.

My header image is blurry. How can I fix that?

You might try this site for a better sized header. https://www.freewebheaders.com/

Thanks Dale. I checked out the website but they didn't have what I was looking for.

I am sorry! I hope you get it worked out!

Do you use the EWWW?
Adjust the measures there

The number indicated in my media area is 0 pixels??? But I messed around with the dashboard and found another image that seems to be working without the blur. Thanks for the info though.

You need to resize it and re-scale it offline before you upload it ...

It's blurry because Wordpress automatically made some adjustments but the original image isn't proprtional with your theme image.

Example: if you are using a 1000x500 px image to display a 500x250 px on your site, that can be proportionally resized and will be OK

But if you are using a 1338x465 px that can't be re-scalled proportionally to 500x250 and becomes blurry

Thanks for the reply. So how do I resize it before I upload it?

Any free, simple image editing software has resizing and cropping features ...

When I try to log into my website, I get a window that pops us with "admin" in the username and asking for a password. When I paste in the password that shows in WA, it says t

Sometimes when we copy and paste a password we get an extra space before or after the actual password. Make sure that you highlight the complete password and that you don't hightlight any extra spaces.

I had that happen to me, I just had them send a new link for new password then it work out

Try resetting your password

Hey Nancy,

If you cannot log into your website through the SiteManager (see screen print below) then you need to contact SiteSupport.
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support

Hope you find this helpful.

Nothing seems to work, I wish they would just let us pick out a strong one so we can memorize it. They can even look at it and approve it. I know its all about security but having to submit a site support letter 10 times a day there must be a better way

Hey Lenny,

If you are not happy with hosting your website here, you can move it to another hosting service where you can change the password whenever you want.

Personally, I enjoy my sites hosted here. I have sites where I'm forced to host local to the business and those sites are not nearly as protected as the sites hosted on WA servers.

I was trying to see if we as a group could figure something out that would help us

This is not an issue that the community can address, as we are not the owners of this platform.

Thank you for pointing that out to me. I thought we were a community and could come up with a fix all of us together there are a lot of talented and smart people using this Platform. That's all.

When we have a great suggestion for WA, yes, of course Lenny, you could definitely run it by Carson and/or Kyle. It's just that the community cannot make the changes.

If this was a major issue with every member, you can bet there would be changes made. However, that has not been the case.

Try to login from.site manager

It can be a number of things but my first thought would be could it be you didn't clear your browser, if so that could be it.

Hope I helped.

Hi,
Yes I have exactly the same thing & it has only started about a week ago.
I can get round it by going > website> " view details" then "log in" from there.
Hope it helps,
Cheers, Duncan.

I don't know for sure but you can always try changing your password and see if that is the problem or if that doesn't work the call upon Site Support they will be able to help you out with this issue. I hope this helps you out

Mary

I do know when I am signing into email I am not allowed to copy and paste

Try typing it in copied from s pen and pad

If you are logging in from within the WA system under WEBSITES, you shouldn't have to paste the password in. You should just have to click the blug LOGIN NOW button.
