When I tried to create WordPress account in order to sign up and get API Key for Akismet plugin, The submit button grays out even all the info entered correctly. Anyone has any

Guess you don't need the plugin anymore with our new spam protection on SiteRubix

The following from Kyle and Carson explains why Askimet or WP Spamshield is no longer necessary

Yeah, you dont need it anymore hun :-))

Forget Akismet. You don't need it. Site Rubix hosting has built in spam protection.

Paddy why are you wanting the Askimet Plugin. There is no need for it on the WA platform

Why wordpress account submit button grey out?

Can I change the theme after creating the websites? For example What if I found a better theme during the development of the website. Thank you

Yes, you can, just make sure your new theme have approximately the same layout as your current theme, you will not lose anything if you don't, but things might change place and you need to reorder some things again.
Here is a training that shows you how to change your theme

As Wayne said below...I tried to change my theme last weekend and lost the lot! Please be careful...

Yes, of course you can, but I would heed Loes advice and do this before you have put a lot of work and content on your original theme.

Wayne

Did you get sorted hun ? :-))

Yes you can, but it is wise to change before you have a lot of content

I tried to change my theme and lost the lot!

Sorry to hear that, I did too, got a world of work to repair everything

Sorry it happened to you as well...in the famous song...sung by Doris Day...what ever will be will be etc :-)

I decided that site was not meant to be and the new one I am building (with the theme I want) will be much better...and it gave me the chance to go back to Course One Lesson One to discover I had missed out on quite a few side tutorials...so I'm glad it happened!

As our famous football player, Johan Cruyff always said: "Every disadvantage has its advantage

Yes, of course :)

Yes. Doable within Site Manager. There are 1000's of themes out there and it will be useful to give your website a fresh look.

It's possible! Log into to your wordpress website and mouse over website name. You will find the 'themes' option and please click that. Automatically you will be directed to themes that you have previously used and also an option to add more themes.

Please let me know if it helped!

Hi Paddy, Yes you can change the theme. Just go into Themes in your dashboard and if you have already downloaded the theme you want to change to, just activate it. If you don't have it downloaded, do a search for it, download it and then activate it.
One caution, sometimes there are differences in what is available in a theme in respect to the different options available. So you might have to re set some things. For instance it may not have the same widgets or menu options available. If you find you don't like it then just reactivate the old one again. Hope that helps.

I started with one theme and found it too dark. As a Premium member you have several themes from which you can choose. Just go into Site Manager, Appearance and themes.

Such as shoes, clothes, bags etc. I'm lost when looking into 2000+ templates. Wondering why they aren't grouping by category, or I missed something. With a suitable theme I fee

Here are some full screen varieties that are great for product visuals. https://colorlib.com/wp/best-full-screen-wordpress-themes/

What is your niche?

Chinese painting of horses

So you want a Wordpress theme for art/artists/paintings?

Try this:
https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/art/

Maybe something like this:
https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/apostrophe/

Jay, how were you able to narrow down all the selections?

He wanted an art theme so I did a Google search for "wordpress themes for art".

Good ole Google!

Hello friends, can anybody advise the difference between two courses? Any sequence in learning these two? Thank you so much

Hello Paddy,
The like is greatly appreciated! Just stick to your guns. Something that is good for someone else does not mean it is right for you. You are the one doing it and you have to be comfortable with it.
Cheers,
Ken

Thank you everyone for your comments. Having my own niche / website is my initial purpose to join WA. I will stick to it as my start point.

Hi Paddy,
I think that allowing us to sell WA if we want, is a great teaching tool here at WA. This is because it's not normal for people to buy into what they do not trust, and the fact that we appreciate something good about WA, that's the best place to start 'with what we know'. For example, if I'm having a bit of a problem for now finding a niche it makes a world of sense to start with selling the great reasons that I'm here at WA. It doesn't mean that I can't focus on both if I so desire, but it would make better sense especially when we're in the learning stage, to focus on one business at a time. Perhaps, by the time I'm successful with selling WA, another niche will spring to mind and my business skills would be better by then.

Hi Paddy,
The others below are right on the point. The only thing I might add is that if you do not have a niche and not sure what you want to promote then going the affiliate bootcamp may be the way to go in the beginning. I personally am going through both courses a little at a time, since both are great.
Wish you the best.
Joe

Great question, Paddy and good to see the detailed repsonses below.

Wayne

The GS course is the general course that you should follow if you want to become proficient in affiliate marketing. The Bootcamp is for if you want to promote Wealthy Affiliate as an affiliate. You should stick to the GS course unless you decide that you want to promote WA as your main niche or as a second site.

I just think it is a great instructional tool, as Kevin says, that is available to each person to choose the path that leads them toward their ultimate goals. For some, promoting WA is the way to go as the company has many positive attributes that you believe in, while others may have a different view and seek to promote a particular and finally maybe even do BOTH. At least, YOU are the one and the choice is YOURS!. Go get em!

Basically, Affiliate Bootcamp is if you want to promote Wealthy Affiliate as an affiliate marketer. Certification is in you have your own niche or product you want to sell
Affiliate Bootcamp can be promoted to new members as it is free for 10 lessons and a good way to get them started. Cheers kev

This tutorial should help.

Jovo wrote a short version of the certification course. I believe it gives more details for a beginner, than the Boot camp.
