I find WordPress EXTREMELY HARD and EXTREMELY difficult I AM ABOUT TO QUIT : WAY TOO FRUSTATING

my website was almost ready and while STRUGGLING to put a WA banner (couldn't do it) I moved my main and only page down so its NO LONGER visible

This is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT for me so its better to be guided step by step over the phone

AGAIN : WORDPRESS is SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER DIFFICULT

(designed for software engineers or maybe I am a very stupid guy with a very low IQ)

Thank You and please REPLY

The following will set a footer at the bottom of every page of your website with the WA banner showing.

At Dashboard after you log into your website, on the left hand side you should have a menu item called “Appearance”. There is pull down menu. On there is “Widget”.

Click on Widget.

This brings you to another screen with lots of boxes and off to the right side position options.

Find a box with “Text” and then the add button. Underneath the box it may have this
Arbitrary text or HTML.

Click on the add button. You will be taken to another screen. There is a title box. You do not need a title. Now paste you link in the big box. Go down the page to Sidebar Position. Indicate you want it as a footer and then click on select. The number 1 will appear click on 1. This means the banner will be first in the footer should you later want to add other footers. Then click the button Save Widget.

You will go back to the previous page. Now take the text box and drag to the Footer Sidebar found on the right hand side of the page. Put it inside the box for the Footer Sidebar. Now you should see a box with Text and Edit inside the Footer Sidebar.

You are now done. You can then click on Page on the left hand side of your Dashboard. Click on a page and click view page. The banner should be showing on the page.

The way this banner was placed will show on every page.

-----------------------------------------

If you want the banner to show only on one page, then here is how you do that.

Get to the page, select the page you want to put the banner and click the edit button. Now you are on the page where you can edit your text. You will see above your text a bar of buttons. Above that on the right hand side you will see two tabs. Visual and Text. Click on Text.
Go to the very end of all the text and code. Paste your link at the bottom of the page.
Now click on Visual. You may see a box or an empty space. Do not panic. Now click on the blue Update button the very right hand side. Now click on View Page. At the bottom of the page your banner will appear. If you log out of WA, you can actually click on the banner and it will take you to a sign up page.

I hope this is specific enough instructions. If you have any other problems, let me know. Debbie

Thanks so much for your help.
Unfortunately things DID NOT work .The best I was able to do is place a link in the form of http://www which upon clicking took me to a useless non clickable banner.
The fact is that I am very stupid and slow in building websites.I am smart at other things ( marketing, speak & write 3 languages, etc)
My website is hatehavingajob.com

PLEASE PLEASE this is absolutely ridiculous...4th in a row asking for help to put a banner....about 5 people replied including kyle and still I feel like a USELESS IDIOT
please please do it for me and I will not bother you again
What I need is very SIMPLE but seems like quantum physics (EXTREMELY DIFFICULT for me)
I SIMPLY need the Wealthy Affiliate banner at the very bottom of my main and ONLY page.To be precise the banner should be underneath the words JOIN NOW
I am just unable to do it.If you dont do it today will be my last day at Wealthy Affiliate simply because today my payment is due.
Paying to be STRESSED OUT?...No thanks
Thanks so much

I see you have your website up and running now, nice work. If you do need a hand with anything else going forward, let me know and I will give you a hand.

You are not going to learn Wordpress overnight, there is a learning curve but trust me you are going to get the hang of this.

Where exactly are you stuck? When I started out it took weeks even to get a website up and running, something that looked horrible compared to Wordpress websites. You are doing fine, don't panic just ask for help when you need it.

Lots of help and support here within the community.

Hi Kyle...thanks for replying
First of all my theme is DECODE
My website is pretty basic : one page
A little while ago while struggling to insert a WA banner on it (couldnt do it) somehow I accidentally moved my only page ( the HOME page) to the number 2 position so whenever you type my domain my page is NOT visible ( all you see is a blank home page)
PLEASE tell me how to move my only page (page #2 ) to the Home page so is visible again

word press is very frustating
This is the WORST and MOST DIFFICULT part of everything (building the website...at least for me)
whatever is ahead is much easier : seo, submitting, videos, etc (I've done it)
Thank you

They best way to manage menus is to create a custom menu. This is the most efficient and will give you the most controls. Here is some training on this:

As for the blank homepage, that is fine. As you build out posts on your site, this will become populated. You are just getting rolling, not to panic here. There are millions of people that have learned the Wordpress framework and I know you can too...like anything though it will take a bit of practice. ;)

Trust me you're not stupid! Some of us weren't born to technology so it doesn't come naturally. I get into pickles like you but what I do is take a deep breath, dump the computer for a while and do something completely different. When you come back try and put your exact problem into words and come back here and one of these lovely people will help I promise! Good luck|!

Yes I am very stupid with computers...sad but true.But I find pretty easy to post items for sale on ebay and to post youtube videos.
I am smart at marketing (Online and offline)
Thanks for replying
