Thank you , I was doubting the name but you and everyone feels like my name is suitable so I'll keep it. I really appreciate your feedback on this.

Awesome, I am glad it helped:)

So changing from booking vacations, which I don't have any of yet, to a travel information blog would be acceptable ? And the name is My Choice Destination. Should I change that ? Not real sure how that sounds as a travel blog.

Yes, it's your website so you can do anything you want.

The name sounds fine to me.

The important thing is to write good travel articles. They are what get indexed and ranked, not the site as a whole (there's really no such thing; it's a collection of pages and posts).

What's the URL? I'd love to take a look.

Go ahead and take that look. I'd love any advice you can give give on this matter. I really appreciate everyone here and how yall have helped me, thank you so much

I can't do that without the URL, Polly.

Awesome ! Thank you ! That's a goal that is more in my reach. I can do that, and I was thinking about incorporating things like' what every traveler should ask before going on their trip .
and about the name its My Choice Destination . Not sure if that name is suitable anymore. What do you think ?

I think that name is fine; it's short and catchy, and it still relates to travel.

Thank you . I'm keeping the name , everyone is telling me that it fits .

I want to keep it travel related just not a site with vacations, its just too much. There is getting a agent license, and more. I really don't have the money to fund this. I've done some research and looking at other booking sites , I alone will not be able to keep up with it. So is this possible ? And do I keep the name or chang that too ?

I'd carry on with the same URL name; however, changing your strategy into something more manageable is the right thing to do. You can also act on behalf of merchants and promote their rentals or anything that goes with your new aspect.

You start with one subcategory, and you can scale out once exhausted. And to give your website a chance to gain traction and traffic.

With my business, I have set an investors pool; I am ready to give up to 49%; however, less is always better. And so, for now, I have a team set up in one area, researching and blogging their findings. I set up this as a test to learn from the experience and improve.

To change the title and tagline

Settings > General - edit title and tagline, then save the changes.

or

Appearance > Customize, then site identity. Edit the title and tagline, then publish.

I hope this helps.

Yes it helps so very much. Thank you again . But not understanding the URL thing. So my domain name is My Choice Destination ? Right ?
I am definitely going to do the merchant rentals, and was also thinking VPN services as well, and anything else that could be a link to what info is being published. This is definitely more at my level.

And I'm going to need to change my theme as well right ?

You can keep the same but change your strategy.

MyChoiceDestination sounds perfect.

VPN services don't fall under travel.

ONE niche, a website. Products and programs can be varied; however, all must be relevant to the niche.

You do not need to change the theme unless you want to.

To change your theme, here is what to do.

You may go to Appearance > Themes and add new.

Input what you are looking for, install and activate.

Your content will be left intact; you may lose out on CSS styles and social media icons if, however, with a bit of tweaking, you are done.

We always recommend leaving a backup theme; you may do with the Twenty TwentyThree.

I hope this helps

Thank you and yes it helps. And I've already done the research VPN services are under travel btw. I've seen where other travel sites have this. It's where I got the idea from. I feel like my current theme isn't for a travel blog its for vacations and touring so I feel like changing my theme would be best. I realize it's going to be a little extra work but it;ll be for the best in the end. And what is Twenty Twenty Three ?

That's a great idea, too bad I don't have a desktop.

What are you using?

laptop

A laptop is absolutely fine. You can download and save it to your documents folder or the home screen.

At this point ,not real sure if I want to keep this website. It has been very overwhelming and difficult to say the least. Thinking about changing it if all possible.

I have it all on manual in case I need to do a backup.

I always have a reliable backup on hand to safeguard against an auto-update going wrong but it's literally never happened.

Again members here are recommended a manual update vs. auto. If you want to auto yours, that's totally okay.

Well, as I said, with 30 websites it's a big time saver and I've had zero issues over many years (even before joining WA in 2018).

I had all my plugins on auto then this warning was there telling me to backup my site before upgrading any plugin. I had already clicked upgrade for some plugins but this warning came in about the backup and didn't upgrade plugins

I would rather have them on auto, just makes more sense. Just not sure why this warning popped up.

It's just WordPress covering themselves. I've never had anu issues with auto backups.

I have around 30 websites and all the plugins on auto update.

I would not have them on auto vs. manual in case you need to ask for a backup and if things don't work out as planned.

And God Forbid, if things go wrong, to start wishing.

However, by the end of the day, it is your choice, not mine or Phil's.

Exactly right, Abie.

To back up your website, you need to contact site support and ask them; that's the Help tab > Site Support.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support

As far as I know, backup plugins are blacklisted and cannot be installed on our WordPress websites unless a few (perhaps Elite) can request this from the site support.

If site support declines to add the plugins, you won't need the tutorials; it would be an easy job handled by the site support team.

I hope this helps, and my sincerest apologies.

I don't know either, but I'd rather have them in auto. The warning is now gone and I was able to update what I needed.

I would rather have them on auto. The warning is gone now.

i did too, still do. I was just confused at the warning that popped up.

It's just WordPress covering themselves. Doesn't mean anything specific.

Abbie I was just trying to upgrade my plugins. I thought everything was auto backed up, that's why I got confused when this warning popped up.

Oh and by the way, my social media widgets are gone. I did everything exactly what I was instructed to get them for the " Follow " up on my top bar, but they didn't appear. Then the next day there they were and now they're gone .IDK what I'm doing wrong

I understand, and thank you for the clarification.

I don't know what plugin you use, but you may try sassy social, grow social or social rocket.

You may need to empty the browser cache, refresh and try again. Try the URL in a different browser or mobile device.

You can also empty the server's cache.
Websites > Site Manager > Details > Sitespeed > Empty site cache

https://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser's-Cache

I personally use Grow Social, and I don't have an issue with it; however, if your problem persists, please reach out to site support.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support

i hope you can get your issues resolved.

I did call on support, I had a couple of issues going on, but they fixed it . Thank you for your guidance

Thank you again Abbie. I'm going to do everything you suggest. There is so much to learn. Are all those plugins available here through wordpress ?

Honestly I wouldn't even know where to begin on backing up anything. Is it not already ?

All backup plugins have been blacklisted. Members need to call upon the site support fo backups Wordpress backup plugins disabled by wa?

They will whitelist the one you want on request. I've done it for all my websites.

I am not sure that's the case.

I thought it was auto back up, was trying to figure out why that warning popped up, weird. But it's all taken care of. Thank you for your assistance

You're welcome, Polly.

It's definitely the case that All in One WP Migration is whitelisted on all my WA sites. And, of course, there's no issue on the other platform I'm using as they never blacklisted it

The problem is members who don't use good housekeeping practices. When you create a backup file, it's stored on the server and you then download it to offline storage. But if you don't delete it from the server, they keep building up.

Foe example, I backed up two of my WA sites yesterday. One backup file was just under a gigabyte and the other was just over.

If I didn't delete them from the server, after 20 backups, they'd be occupying 40 gigabytes of WA server space. Multiply that out by a large number of members and you have an unconscionable burden on WA's servers.

But if you delete the backup file as soon as you've downloaded it (or even keep the latest but delete the previous one each time) then it's not an issue.

I haven't created a backup file. Am I supposed to ?

If you want to create your own backup with something like All in One WP Migration, that is what it will do. Create a backup file. I'm not sure what you're asking.

Thank you. you all have been most helpful

Okay I figured it out. FTP-File transfer protocol. It's another way to upload your theme. It seems though uploading through wordpress would be much easier.

Wishing you well, success and a terrific day.

Thank you, wishing you the same

Travel Hub is my theme I've chosen and is uploaded. I saw the themevia FTP and wasn't real sure what it is and if I need it. So what is that ? And do I need it ?
