I have noticed that when get comments with Site Comments and I reply to them it is always with admin and not may name. Is there a way to change that? I tried logging in to my sit

Yes, there is a dropdown menu to click, default is admin, when you have added your name as user then the second on the dropdown is your name

I guess now I will have to go earn myself some comments to see what you are talking about! :D You are talking about in the Site Comments dashboard right?

That's right

Okay, I see what you are talking about now! Yay!

Great! Happy commenting:)

No worry, thats easy ;o)
You create a new useraccount, which by the way is recommended anyway for administrating your website for the visible front end.

Go to "Users" in your backoffice >>> "Add New" at the top of the page >>> fillin all the necessary data (of course the name you want to appear when replying to comments) >>> choose "Administrator" as the role (important to have full access rights). You will see your password within your Wealthy Affiliate SiteManager (you should also always login to your website through Wealthy Affiliate SiteManager (much easier than remembering the password).

Should work that way ;o)

Cheers, Kay

Thanks Kay but I have already done that using my first name. But when I use WA's new "Site Comments" feature my replies to the comments are always under Admin. Is there something I am missing there?

Ok, sorry. I guess I am missing something here. I dont know anything of this feature. Sorry ;o)

No problem. I hope someone knows the answers because that is kinda annoying! :)

Authoring & Writing Content

I wrote a pretty good post for my wholesale site and now I want to copy parts of it for my retail site. I think I know the answer to this but I just wanted to see if there were an

Okay I think I have my head wrapped around this one. Thank you everyone for your help!

Nathaniell, I went to the link that you included and then clicked on the link on that comment that went to the Google site. There were some things I read that were way over my head but I was able to understand what I needed to! :)

You can use parts of it without an issue. There is no "duplicate content penalty" The only issues arise when MOST of your website is comprised of bits and pieces of other websites, or when one post is MOSTLY content from another website.

But if you are just using pieces, and supplementing with original content, to make comments or additions, you'll be totally fine. However, if you are just pasting because it's the "same idea" and you don't want to rewrite it, I personally would just rewrite it to make it original. The time saved with copy/pasting isn't much, and you'll be better off with 100% original content anyway.

Similar is OK. It's best to rewrite it if you can in order for the new content to be seen as unique, rather than duplicate content copied from somewhere else.

You can reuse bits and pieces of it, but I'd rewrite it, particularly if it's home page content.

Thank you for your reply. I was hoping it would be okay to at least use parts of it. I will have to see how I can rewrite it without copying too much of it!

You'll find that this is a situation that happens a lot. After a bit of practice, you'll be able to rewrite things in your sleep.

Charlie

I agree with Charlie

I think we all have same amount, 256 MB, this you may check in dashboard, general settings. Perhaps send support ticket and ask. But first go there and check if it set to maximum. Jovo

Yes it is set at 256 MB so I do not know what it is telling me this. I will send them a support ticket. Thank you!

I have my domain hosted with ipage but since I am paying for hosting here it just makes sense to transfer everything to here. How hard is it to do?

Things can be clarified only when these two information are there. Whether it is a word press site and whether this is only a domain name or a fledged site?

I am not sure what you mean by a fledged site! :) But I do know Ipage is the host and I was using Weebly Drop and Drag to build my site in Ipage. But they do also offer Wordpress within Ipage. My domain is pinegrovecandle.com

Sorry, that was a mistake. it was full fledged site.

Oh okay! Makes sense now! It is a full fledged site.

If your site is Wordpress, you can contact WA hosting and they will move it for you. If your site is not Wordpress, you will need to do this yourself, and it will require that you use FTP, which can be slightly complicated for newbies.

If you are just talking about a domain name, and not a website, then that's something different, and we can discuss from there.

I am using Weebly through ipage but they also offer Wordpress. I did not go with that initially because I thought it was just for bloggers and I wanted an ecommerce site. Do you think I should switch over to Wordpress at ipage and then move over to WA?

I found this: hope this helps

Thank you for the link. The problem is I already have hosting. I appreciate the help!

I am not sure what happened or if I did something wrong but something happened to my comments section at the bottom of my blog roll. I can't get it back. Could someone look at ww

Got it!

Nathaniell, I do not have an option to turn on post excerpts in my settings.

Sorry, my mistake. It's called "Summary" http://www.screencast.com/t/zOJHMxWtf

Your home page will not have a comment section. Right now http://ilovetomakecandles.com and http://ilovetomakecandles.com/how-to-make-candles-at-home-for-fun-or-profit look the same because you only have 1 post and your home page is using a blog roll.

Go to Settings > Reading and turn on "post excerpts", and that should at least make your home page look more like a blog roll once you add more posts.

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with your site, that's just how the home page is set up.

Oh! Okay! Thanks for letting me know. I thought I did something screwy to mess it up! I will go to the settings and follow your suggestion. Thank you!
