I need to place a product photo/graphic in my side bar. I figured out how to place text in the side bar but the product image is not showing up. Thanks everyone.

Hey Paul,

If you're trying to put a custom image you've created and have it link to a particular page on your site I can show you how to do this.

I'm not for sure this is what you're looking for, but I will PM you

Thanks katkatskitchen.

You can try the Image Widget plugin.

All you'd do is add an image from your WP media library, add the link you want, and you could also add caption.

I use it to greet my visitors with a photo of myself and a few sentences. Plus one that links to one of my pages.

It's pretty easy to use.

Thanks JSakanee. I appreciate your response.

I've tried everything. Tag line and site title will not update. Using Elite Pro theme. Also can't figure out how to eliminate site preview page.

Hi Paul. I'm going to presume that you are using a Wordpress site. Open your dashboard and go to your Settings/General. Somewhere on that page, I think it's at the top, is a place for you to name your site and create a tagline. You can edit this. Go ahead and make your changes and REMEMBER TO SAVE!! ;)

Hello Alanna. I have done this already. Someone else had the same problem and they stated that they had to remove the header. The updates they made were behind the header. How would I remove the header? Yes it is a Wordpress site. This issue is really holding up my progress.

Paul, can you post a link to your site so I can take a look?
Alanna

Hi Alanna. I decided to use a new theme and so far all is well. Don't know what the problem was with the other theme. Still working on the site. Thanks for your help. Paul www.HomeRemedyForColdSores.com

Ok, Paul. Sorry it had to come to that. Some themes can be finicky. Glad you found a way around it.

For Example, my name@domain name.com. Have not figured this out yet. Thanks for the help WA network.

As explained below, have you created the email account?

This may help for managing your website email:

Thanks Jude. Paul

Site Rubix > Site Manager > Site Email

Then just add an email address. You'll see that a password is created automatically and there's also a button you can use to login.

Quick and easy to set up.

But later I'd get it set up sing gmail ( for example) so that pulls your http://domainname.com emails into Gmail so you don't have to mess around logging into more than one email account.

Thanks. I will check again. Paul

Am I right, that you havent set up an emailaddress on your domain yet? So it doesnt happen automatically, that there is the possibility to send an email to your domainname? Do you know that?

You have to set up an emailaddress like mailto:info@yourdomain.com or mailto:office@youdomain.com or mailto:yourname@yourdomain.com and so on...

I hope I got you, Paul!

Kay. Thanks for the response. I have set my email up already however I missed the part where I can go to retrieve those emails. One way or the other I will figure it out. Appreciate your help.

Go to the Emails section in the Site Manager. There you will see the email Login button. You will need to copy/paste the password that has been provided for you there.

I don't think I can just take them from another website. For example, a photo from Web-MD, showing a particular medical condition, a bruised arm or a swollen foot.

Not sure what this term means. Does each page on my site need to be ranked? If so how is this done? Thanks WA team.

Paul,

Looks like you have got some good help so far, but wanted to chime in.

Basically what being ranked means is that Google and other search engines have crawled your website and began including you site in search results.

To do this you there are some basic things you need to be doing, like posting quality content frequently on a consistent schedule.

Two other things you need is a SEO plugin for your website that will help you site get ranked and also creating and submitting a sitemap.

Not sure how far you are along in the training, but if you haven't got to the SEO plugin and sitemap don't worry that is covered in the training.

Another thing you asked was about every page getting ranked. Most likely all the pages on your website will get ranked, but to see any real traffic to them they need to be on the first page.

You should not except all of the content you create to get ranked on the first page because it never will unfortunately. That is why it's important to create content frequently.

Well hope this helps a bit let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks brokwebb.

PageRank is what Google uses to determine the importance of a web page. It's one of many factors used to determine which pages appear in search results and in what order. To be on page 1 means that you will get the majority of searches

Thank You.

As you publish more to your website and add content you will get ranked. You can also be ranked by helping others with their questions and being in discussions, giving comments on others websites, etc. The more you are involved the better your ranking will get. The lower the ranking number the better.. Good luck!!!

Thank You.

You are welcome
