I have just spent 4-5 hours with Chat trying to reconnect one of my sites, no matter which way I try I can't get the code snippet to show up, I am running Yoast premium on that
Are you adding the code through Yoast, or are you manually adding the code within the Editor on your website?
Have you since gotten this sorted?
Hi Kyle not through Yoast, Code Snippets is where I started, and no its not sorted.
I have taken a break from it as it was getting to me
Hey Rob,
Sometimes browsers refuse to refresh properly, no matter what you do.
That's the time you need to use a different device to check out the site in question.
Having learned this early in my career saved me from a LOT of frustration.
So... if you can clearly see that WP code lite has the code in place, and you've saved it... then, go to another device and examine the site to see if you can see the code when checking the source.
Hope you find this helpful.
have you tried clearing your site cache in sitemanager>>details
shouldn't be the case but worth a shot ...
or your browsers cache with ctrl+f5 to refresh the page you are on and update the cache ( command +R on mac - so i'm told...)
Hi Phil all of that and some! I have sent a ticket to site support.
I have taken more screenshots for Mr Chat to analyse than I care to count
i tended to put the code into ad inserter plugin ( head section ) and that was it....
never had an issue, but last site i did was a few years ago....

I did the page refresh like John said below and it worked, but it's the first time its happened t me
Hey Rob,
Personally, what I would do if it happens again, is take a screen print of it, and send it to Carson in a DM, asking for help.
Hope you find this helpful.
Refresh the page and it'll work fine. I know, I saw it several times.
Just make sure you select the right users, if not selected automatically.

Never saw this one but I have tried to leave site comments several times and get a msg. "File Not Found" Aggravating but I just move on.

Hi, I am exploring items that I was going to buy locally on Alibaba as "it looks" like it might be a worthwhile proposition even though delivery dates are sometimes way out.
Have bought in the past, delivery very slow and important to thoroughly check items. Have had good products on the top and rubbish mixed in ..
Hi Robbie, yes I found out the hard way with that but luckily it was on 2 inexpensive items.
Rob
Then there's Temu to take a look at...
I have no experience with any of these as an affiliate.

Hi Richard,
I have used Aliexpress dubiously, but I have been quite pleasantly surprised by many items. Their descriptions can be very misleading and the options very complicated.
But so far only 2 very cheap items have caught me out.
Temu I have used once and it was ok, I have just placed another order with them as they had some incredible January sale prices on things on my wish list.
I have just got a reply from the company I am thinking of dealing with on Alibaba.
I will post an update of my experiences later and in detail.
Rob
As a customer of Temu I like the way they pay €5 credit for late delivery. They aren't fast because they pull an order together before shipping. But their estimates are realistic. I've competed 3 orders in 2024, all of which have arrived later than estimated, but only because the Portuguese "post office" (CTT) have caused delays after the orders have arrived in Portugal. Temu doesn't seem to argue, they just allocate the credit.
;-)

I used Aliexpress in the past to resell locally through Facebook.
Also used Alibaba for bulk buys, like Feigner mentioned.
I eventually became a VIP in Aliexpress and the customer service was fantastic.
I suggest before you purchase, check out the reviews not just for the items but for the seller As you still get some dodgy sellers.
If I was buying a few items, I would contact the seller and try to make a cheaper deal. Usually if it was around $200 purchase, I would get Fast shipping paid by the seller, and within a week I used to have the items delivered to my front door :) Usually with extra gifts from them.
A few dodgy sellers were closed down and Aliexpress refunded me my money.
So based on my past experience , I enjoyed every moment :-)

Hey Robin,
Many Amazon vendors buy their goods in bulk from Alibaba... though you can sign up as a customer to Alibaba, and purchase one or two items from different vendors.
Some Amazon vendors import in bulk while others use the drop shipping basis for their sales.
Drop shipping meaning that once a customer places their order on Amazon, then the Amazon vendor sends the order details to the Alibaba vendor to ship.
The reason you can purchase items from Alibaba is that most of the Alibaba vendors are looking for rave reviews so they can sell their products in bulk faster.
Hope you find this helpful.
Hi Trish,
and yes it does but this "Dropserve meaning that once a customer places their order on Amazon, then the Amazon vendor sends the order details to the Alibaba vendor to ship." This would be for smaller items as the delivery time would be well out for larger items?
Thanks Rob
I didn't mean about that I was talking about this part Trish.
"This would be for smaller items as the delivery time would be well out for larger items?"
Because my train of thought was any bigger items would have to come by container. But I will find out more as I explore I am sure.
Rob
Oh, well... bigger items would mostly have to charge you shipping fees too.
Personally, all items that I have ever purchased from the Alibaba site have been light in weight... so, I really cannot advise you on larger items like, say, a household, upright vacuum.
alibaba is normally the bulk buy part ...
aliexpress is the individual part website ...
and there is also banggood.....
it can work out cheaper, but as you say you will need to wait...
and sometimes things don't arrive.....
Hi Phil,
I used Banggood in the USA before but not in the UK, I will have to see what the reviews say for here.
Thanks Rob
the other one i have just remembered is salehoo with mark ling....
sorts out far east suppliers with less risk
