I'm experiencing a weird problem.
Suddenly today I am constantly getting a message that says:
"Updating failed. Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this post."

Richard, you have FANTASTIC responses here; kindly let us know if you require additional assistance.

Hi Abie
Of my activated plugins the following were updated in the last couple of days:
CookieYES
Editor's Kit
Kadence Blocks
MailPoet
RankMath
U+draft

I used WP Rollback to roll all of them back, one at a time, some of them several times and didn't find a culprit. I undid the rollbacks. So moving forward but currently stumped! Any ideas?
;-)
Richard

That has been resolved now, Richard :)

Thank you. That was yesterday. Site Support told me that they adjusted some security parameters.
:-)
Richard

I am glad they did. A lot of folks were affected.

You're welcome, Richard :)

Hey Richard,

Kadence Block plugin got updated AGAIN today, so if you're using THAT plugin you may find the update solving this.

Updated all sites using that plugin yesterday and got notified of another update only a few hours ago now.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Trish
Thanks for responding!
Another Kadence Blocks update (and theme update) arrived overnight and unfortunately they've made no difference.
;-)
Richard

Their staff are usually quick to respond. Have you put in a ticket with them yet?

I rolled back Kadence Blocks and 5 other plugins and didn't find the culprit. The next stage has to be a patient check of combinations.
;-)
Richard

I did put a ticket into Kadence but it now seems that Site Support are working on a fix so it might be a local (server) issue.
;-)
Richard

I am having the same problem too

Hi Troy
Site Support tell me that many people are having the same problem. It would be worth comparing plugins. I'll send you a PM it that's OK?
;-)

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Is there a way to use AI credits without going through Hubs?
If there is, how does it work, please?
:-)
Richard

Hi Richard

I’ve been using my AI credits to generate outlines +/- short four-heading content with the WA AI authors, and then bringing that into my ChatGPT4 custom-built GPTs for further refinement.

So, I approach it as an extension to what I was previously doing. 😎

Frank 🎸

That's great input, Frank! Thanks.
:-)
Richard

You’re welcome, Richard, anytime. 😎

AI Authors Just Released To ALL Members! AI Authors Unleashed - From a Day's Work, to Minutes!

Thanks Abie... I'm yet to be convinced that the provided AI authors are good for me, and I don't have much time for re-learning since I developed my own AI-supported process that I've been using for some time.
:-)
Richard

Wow, Richard, that's so awesome.

I am also developing an AI persona as we speak to have my attributes and help me polish my content. I hope I can manage. Right now, it's a hit-and-miss—trial and error, so to speak

OK Abi. Which AI tool are you using? I might be able to send you a sample prompt to tailor.
:-)
Richard

I was instructed to use ChatGPT, MyBots, or "+ Create" new. Yeah, please, I would love to. Thanks :)

OK. I use ChatGPT and yes you can create your own GPT. You can also update your profile and add instructions there too.
Anyway I'll send you something. If you haven't heard in a couple of days feel free to remind me.
:-)
Richard

No problem, Richard! Thank you again :)

nope.... but you can use your own keywords and just go for outlines rather than whole articles...
but currently they are only available to use within the hub....
what else do you see them being used for Richard....

Thanks Phil. So for me to use the AI credits included in my subscription, I'd need to either start a new private domain or set up a free site and then copy / paste any AI text to where I want it. Otherwise, each month I'm missing out.
The point is, I don't want to set up a new site yet.
:-)
Richard

if you already have an ai system in place you are happy with - then these are credits to test the system with - if you have time...
and yes i would say a test site and setting up a framework to test it out with...
you don't need to visit the site...and can trash it if you don't like the way it is going...
with the system you can't do too much with it - choose title - idea and press create outline - change if you want, then to create hte article...you have two authors - not able to influence either....
so will you find it too restrictive - probably as you have developed your own system....
i haven't found it too bad....

Thanks for your thoughts, Phil. Appreciated!
:-)
Richard

I'm interested in the answers you get, Richard. I have not yet ventured in there!

Jeff

Hi Jeff. If you haven't been using AI, then it's probably worth investing time in learning how the Hubs work.

Richard

I agree, Richard, and when the physical work eases up a bit, then I certainly will! Thanks!

There is a nice banner showing Free and Premium membership differences. Is there a table that includes Premium Plus+ ?
:-)
Richard

The upgrade page, while not a banner, has all the information you seek

Upgrade

The join page has errors, and it doesn't function as yearly.

Certainly works when I click both the monthly and yearly for me so not sure why it doesn't work for you

Thank you Abie

Richard

I thought it might have been.

Hi Richard

There is no actual chart in the Banner field though I feel it should be but here is the link related to the three memberships you are seeking

https://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/join/

Best to view it via incognito mode to see what it looks like.

As for adding your affiliate link, you can refer to Robert's (boomergp08) as there are three ways you can use it.

Here is his training Andre

I learnt something new from going to that link by Robert- thanks for sharing Andre

You are most welcome in the training it also covers how to add a tracking link as well.

Enjoy

Yup, I am still on that page right now lol

Great I think from memory Kyle mentioned once that banners don't convert as well as they used to perhaps the reason why it is not in the banners section but don't quote me on that

Thank you Andre... the "join" image is exactly what I was looking for!
:-)
Richard

Great You can either create your own links as per Robert's training or add it as an image to your post and add your affiliate link that way as well just be aware the join chart is long

Wishing you well

Andre

Thanks again Andre!

no probs Richard enjoy your weekend

Not sure, as I cannot afford Premium+, so have not thought to check.

Good day to you...
I use Grow Social share icons plugin and have regularly used it to share new posts on a Facebook page.
The way it has been working is that a drop-down

I have had the same thing with LinkedIn and am trying to figure out why, so I will be interested in the answers.
Stephen

Hi Stephen
Do you mean you're using Grow Social and it's not allowing you to share where you want on Linkedin?
Or do you mean that you're trying to share from Linkedin to FB?
If the latter that would imply a FB problem or change...
:-)
Richard

From my social media plug in to LinkedIn 8-))

Ah-ha... so that implies a plugin problem, Yu didn't say if you're using Grow Social or something else?
:-)
Richard

I’ve talked more to you than my wife this morning Richard,lol.
It is add to any, so different to what you’re using I believe.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you woke up every day and everything works perfectly…a marketers dream…

I share my Facebook Posts by using the Facebook Share button on my page.

I just click it, and it goes to Facebook, asking me to share it on my page or a page I manage.

I don't know if that helps.

I have attached a screen shot for you to see what I mean.

Good luck with everything

Elke

Thank you, Ingrid... that's exactly what the Grow Social icon used to do. Is yours from a plugin, or is it perhaps a WP block icon?
:-)
Richard

I have not noticed Richard, have you tried clearing the cache? Someone else reported same the other day, they had no user authorization and along these lines.

But you can always do it manually or try a different plugin.

I hope you get figured out.

Thank you Abie.
Clearing cache made no difference but thanks for the reminder.
:-)
Richard

Most welcome Richard. May be it is an update from Facebook or the plugin itself what is causing the issue, however if I hear something else I would let you know.

I have not visited FB on a regular basis. But it will change with my involvement with WA.

I am glad to know that we can copy the url of the post we want to share , as per Eric. I would like to know how that's done. Thank you Eric for sharing that info.

Hi Maria
I was asking about using a plugin that has always worked but seems to have stopped working for sharing posts from my site on a FB page (as opposed to on my personal feed.

First you'd need to learn how to set up a Page in FB (if that's what you want).
:-)
Richard

I may hook up with you eventually on that, when I get there. Thank you Richard !

No problem... feel free. Use PM is necessary.
:-)
Richard

You can also share your posts to FB by copying the url of the post you want to share and pasting it into a fb post.

Thank you, Eric, I just might end up doing that. I appreciate your input.
:-)
Richard

No prob :)

Hi Eric! Thank you for sharing that info regarding posts that we can possibly do regarding WA &b FB.

Hi there I’m a bit confused, I thought FB doesn’t like the URL’s in a post … so can we actually do that?

I've done it many times before with published posts from my site. Just give it a little intro context and why you think your friends might find it useful.

Thank you Eric

I'm considering trying out "Icegram" ...

if you know what I mean because you are using it or have tried it out, could you please put a few words together to tell me what

I have used it a little bit. It has been a while ago. But I thought it was quite good and at the time wondered why it was not talked about more. I still have it one of my test sites. The popup worked great!

The only thing I could not do was send automated emails. I can't remember if it gives one the ability to classify users because that would seem to be very useful in sending emails that were not autogenerated like AWeber does.

Thank you for that George ... that's what I'm trying to figure out right now... if it's possible to automate campaigns in the free version to properly try it out. There's a lot of documentation.
:-)
Richard

Let me know what you think as to creating automated campaigns with the free version because plugins do get updated and it has been a year since I have looked at it...

I will do, George. Also, it looks as if Trish might have some useful input ...
:-)
Richard

Ah, I see that now. I will keep following the responses here.
Thanks.

You may like this blog.
icegram dot com/best-wordpress-newsletter-plugins/

I still can't understand if it is an autoresponder like Aweber. In some ways it seems that it is. But not sure.

Thank you George for that link. IT does make it look as if you can use it as an autoresponder... but still not very clear. I've sent an enquiry to Icegram and await their response.
:-)
Richard

Hearing it for the first time and also looking forward to learning more.

Hi Muslimah ... me too!
:-)
Richard

Never heard of it. What does it do?

Icegram provides a simple/easy and free way to place a form on a website for encouraging visitors to subscribe for future website updates. They also provide other free ways to create popups and simple email campaigns. There is a pro version that looks like great value for money as well.
:-)
Richard

Does the free version give you access to an autoresponder ?

Well, Frank...
It certainly includes the ability to set up broadcasts and campaigns but I'm still trying to figure out how comprehensive and tailorable it is.
:-)
Richard

I've never heard of it until now, Richard! I'll be reading with interest!

Jeff

Me too, Jeff!
But it's not well known so I don't expect much direct feedback on this.
:-)
Richard

I might have to look it up, Richard! My interest is peaked now!

Jeff

Well, it seems to be good for capturing a few emails and delivering auto-notifications to subscribers when new posts are added. Also, it looks good for handling individual broadcasts but I haven't sussed out auto-response email campaigns yet.
:-)
Richard

Is it Free? If not, what does it cost? This sounds like something that might work well with my book promotion site. I am also considering Mailchimp, since my site is not an Affiliate marketing site, per se!

Jeff

Free to start then about 9 to 11 USD pm I believe.

Richard

Thanks, Richard! Much appreciated!
