I just saw a post that mentioned that, unless affiliate sales are made within 3 months, Amazon will kick you out of their program. If this is true, should I wait until my site

From what I remember hearing, you have 6 months to start generating sales as an Amazon Associate otherwise, they kick you from their program.

However, you are able to reapply at any time to the platform and it is very easy to get back in! You also do not have to worry about replacing all of the affiliate links, so in that case, I would just continue promoting their stuff now.

I have been kicked off of the affiliate program before and reapplied just a few months ago, and even now, I am still working towards getting that first sale!

Hopefully, this helps!

I accidentally created a post without using Site Content. Is there a way to import it into SC, so it will run the checks, and add to my stats?

Just remind yourself from now on to start in Site Content. It is all good. The best part of being here is we are all on a learning curve. And for most of my mistakes, I do indeed remember the lesson.LOL and that is a good thing. Enjoy this journey.

Is it published yet?

Yes

I think I would just leave it as it is. If it would have been just a draft post not yet published I would say. copy and paste inside Sitecontent. But now, I would leave it like this. It's not such a big deal.

Does the All-in-one SEO plug-in work for my posts that are created in Site Content? It appears the SEO title and description are blank for my posts.

Sorry, I mean "posts that are NOT created in Site Content"

I don't know how they are showing it, but after I published a post through SiteContent, I finish editing it in my Wordpress dashboard making sure that my SEO title and description are done.

Is there guidance on adding links to the sources for information included in my content. I don't want to place hyperlinks within the document, because I don't want the reader t

Thank you both.

You still can insert the source of the information without making it a hyperlink. For example, the source is http://abc.com you can insert the text only abc.com and it is not a hyperlink.

However, this is not recommended to do so as you should give credit to the site where you get the source especially when you are quoting the exact information from that site onto yours. A better way is not to copy the information as it is but rewrite them in your own words then there is no issue of giving credit to the source of information.

My understanding.

You can do this within site content. There is a little button that says link. Highlight the word or phrase that you want to link to something else.

A screen will pop up. You can then copy the url and place it there.

After that, you usually want to click on the box: open link in new window. That way they still have your page open.

Please direct me to guidance on User Roles - administrator, editor, author, contributor, subscriber. I'm the only one, initially, adding content to my site, but I'd like to kn

Administrators hold the key to the WordPress castle. They can perform every task available through the WordPress dashboard, including changing themes, modifying core files, and changing other users’ roles. Admins also have complete control over all content. Although you can have multiple administrators on one site, this role should be reserved for those who truly need full access. After all, why open the gate to the whole castle when just the front porch will do?

The Editor role is a great choice for users who need permission to access all of the content, but not themes, plugins, or widgets. Editors can publish, edit, or delete any page or post, including those labeled “private”. They can also moderate comments and manage categories and links. In short, editors can do almost anything with content, but they can’t change any settings.

Authors can publish, edit, or delete their own posts, but they can’t access anything created by other users. They also can’t create, edit, or delete pages. Authors can upload files into the Media Library and delete anything they have previously uploaded. In addition, Authors can moderate comments on their own posts.

Contributors can write, edit, and delete their own unpublished posts, but their content must be reviewed and published by an Admin or Editor. It’s important to note that Contributors can’t access the Media Library, so if they want to use specific images, videos, or audio files in the Media Library, they have to ask for assistance from an Admin or Editor. The Contributor role is a popular option for guest authors who don’t submit content on a regular basis.

The Subscriber Role
WordPress labels all new users as Subscribers by default. Subscribers can read your site, post comments, and create a profile through your WordPress dashboard. They don’t have any other permissions, and can’t edit settings or content on your site.

Thank you! That's very helpful. I have created a username that I will use for authoring content on my site. Should I set it as author?

Yes, the author role will suffice for authoring content on your website.

How do I change the author of a post I've already completed?

Thanks, guys. Follow-up question: If I'm the only one, initially, adding content to my site, how should I use the User classifications - admin, editor, author, contributor, subscriber?
I'll also post to the community.
Thanks!

Hennie has given a perfect way how to do it.

First thing first, you need to create a new user.
Just go to your wp dashboard > User > new user

Once you did that, just follow the steps given by Hennie below.

Hi, Robbie.
1. Log in to your back office
2. Go to 'All Posts'
3. Select or hover your mouse over the post that you want to change
4. Click on 'Quick Edit'
5. In the Author box, click the drop-down arrow.
6. Select the new author
7. Click update in the right corner
8. Done
