This should help you create a menu Robert

Hi Marion
Its not the menu in Wordpress.
Its the one showing in Kyles training (see pic).

The menu to the left is mine and the small one to the right of it is the one in Kyles training.
As you can see mine doesn't look a bit like that.

The training page is part of the Education Project and I can't find that either.
Click the link in my question and scroll down and you will see what I mean.
Can you can shed any light on this?
Robert

The WA dashboard got updated a few months ago. And again overnight. There's now a button for Jaaxy which I've never seen before.

Kyle did say that a new announcement was imminent. Perhaps there's a new and updated Certification course coming.

Hi Marion, thank you for getting back to me.
I contacted Kyle last night when he was on Live Chat and he said they are phasing out the Education Project.
Yes there is a new version of Jaaxy rolled out called Jaaxy Lite for Premium Members.
Haven't tried it out yet but as its free I will do in the coming days.
Have an awesome day/evening Marion and take care.
Robert

Can you please explain a bit more about phasing out the Education Project?

Marion I can only tell you what Kyle said in Live Chat and that was when I asked him should I forget about accessing it He said it was going to be made redundant.
And when I said it had only been updated in July he said that was all it was - a very small update for those who were currently involved with it.
I'm off out for a few hours now, perhaps you can send Kyle a PM for more clarification.

Never having used the Anti Spam Shield before.

Does anyone have any pointers on the best settings for this plugin..

Thanks in advance.

Robert

Great question Robert but do not have an answer for you!
I would like to know tho. Let us know when you receive an answer.

Hello Linda.
You just caught me before I go out for the day.
I had a few good replies and the best one I m currently implementing is to download it and leave it as it is as its already setup for maximum functionality.
Have a nice day yourself.
Robert

Thank you Robert for that information and you have a great day as well.
Linda

I did

I am not using it stayed with the anti spam bee, just recently some members have had problems with it

Thats ok Katie. I will try it out and see how it goes.
Robert

Robert,
Hope this works for you,
I do not use it, so have no advice. I did read the information on the link from Rosiem, so learned some-
Thanks for the conversation start so we can all learn,
Sami

Its working so far Sami so fingers crossed.
Robert

Hey Robert I read some of the comments and a lot is geek to me too.
I use wp spam shield and don't get spam but my problem is with bots.

I read PJ.s and other tutorials but it is geek to me. I will continue to sort through it; and wp spam shield too.

Marty

We can but try.
I have never heard of Spam Shield before and thats why I asked about best settings from anyone who is currently using it.
Have a nice day.
Robert

Kyle said Spam shield works fine without adjusting settings.

Marty

Ok Marty I am going to give it a go and see how it works out.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Have a nice day.
Robert

You are welcome Robert.

Hi Rosie I forgot to finish my sentence.
Does anyone have any tips on the best settings.
Appreciate any and all pointers.
I will take a look at your link.
Robert

hahahaha.....no problem....this is from the plugin itself...I would assume they have all or most of the answers you might have, look around (like the support forum, etc.). It is an exceptional and multi-faceted plugin....can you tell I like it? lol

Hi Rosie.

I really really wanted to know if anyone had their settings and wouldn't change them coz they are perfect.
I have had a look at the plugin and its all greek to me.
I have never heard of it before never mind used it.
Robert

It works great 'right out of the box'.....then if you're not happy, you can look into tweaking it. It really is a great plugin....

Ok Rosie I will give it a go.
Have a nice day.
Robert

i use wp-spamshield over a month
not one spam
even dispensed with captcha whic is annoying for visitors i think

Antispam Bee works for me and weeds out all the spam on a daily basis, would recommend highly. Have used now for 2 months without a problem. Regards, Michael

I would like a Great Socila Media Plugin coz the ones I have access to are crap.

Thanks in advance.

Robert

Hey Robert.. I see you've decided to go with AddToAny. I've tried it and 30 others in the past year over my three sites. The only free version I ever really liked was Profitquery.. But their latest update is not compatible with any of my themes (seemingly), and their support system sucks. But I still recommend trying it just because of the look and feel. Anyway, just wanted to share that.

Tried that one and kinda swithering about it.
I will try out Profitquery as well.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Robert

Here is the training Kyle did in boot camp course 3 lesson 1 Hope this helps.

Hello. I know all about social media plugins Vicky.
I wanted to know if any member was using a Great one as opposed to a good one.
Thank you for your reply though.
Robert

My mistake.

No probs and all suggestions welcome.
Robert

I use super socializer, like the look and functionality.

Also have used Kyles recommendation. Google +, Facebook,and Twitter.

Robert I read your bog again and I realized the answer I gave was not what you were looking for , I am sorry.

No probs and don't worry about it.
Have a good one.
Robert

I have been using the one kyle recommended

Hi Katie. I know how to set them up.
What I wanted was what people thought was a great plugin as opposed to the run-of-the-mill.
The ones I have are ok but not great.
Thank you for replying though. Much appreciate you taking the time.
Robert

oh Robert trust me was just sending you the name but what I should have done is just told you what it was what can I say dead zone in the brain lol hope you have had a good day

No probs and I'm still looking.
Robert

let us know which you decide on

Hey I have getsocial I quite enjoy it and you have a lot of options what the buttons should look like and where they should be placed on your pages.

Hi Robert, let me know how you get on, i have been looking myself for something that suits and haven't managed to find anything I myself like yet.

I'm thinking - Add To Any - will be my best bet.
Will try it and see, maybe you can as well unless you have already.
Robert

Hi there,

I personally like the social share buttons from "SumoMe". I've seen it on many websites and if you want to see it live, you can have a look at my website:

wealthyevolution.com

I've created a training on how to set it up. It's a free plugin, but needs some setup after installation. All the best,
Nicole

Sorry Nicole I just don't like the look of it.
Maybe I'm too much of a fusspot but thank you for replying to my question and have a great day.
Robert

No worries, it's a good thing that we have our own tastes and likes. :)

As phydel said "Add to Any" is a good one or "Share, Like, Google+" as used in the training here.

No probs, each to his or her own is always best.
I'm off out now.
Robert

install "AddtoAny" plug in

I'm just going out but will have a looksee tonight.
Thank you.
Robert

Hi everybody. I'm having a wee problem. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the top menu on my site.

I mean the black section with all the individual pages.

I'm u

Go to menu's at the bottom you can disable "header top nav" I believe that is the one.

Hi Loes. What do you mean - go to menu's at the bottom?
At the bottom of where?
Robert

Go to appearances > menu's > scroll down and there you can choose what you want to present

Menu setting:
Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu
Header Top Nav
Header Secondary Nav

disable the box before Header Top Menu

Hi Loes. I have tried different combinations and none of them work completely. I am always left with a section in black at the top
The pic is my menu section and as you can see I have two boxes ticked and this is the best I can manage.
Take a look at the site and you will see what I mean.
The menu has not gone.
Robert
http://disabledyourowninternetbiz.siterubix.com/

Hi Loes.
The best I can achieve is have two menus. I can get rid of the individual entries but the extra menu is still there in the black section at the top.
In my Menus Section I have

Automatically add new top-level pages to this menu
Header Navigation
Header Categories
Main Navigation
Footer Navigation

To get what I have on my page now I have to tick the Header Nav Box and the Main Nav Box.

Anything else you can suggest?
Robert

Yes I see what you mean, I have a video for you, perhaps that is of help http://supernovathemes.com/supernova-theme/

Hi Loes. Thanks for the video. I think I will have to undo some stuff and try to get it back to what it used to be. Maybe you have probs with your themes as well coz sometimes one day everything is ok and when you go back the next day it seems to have a mind of its own and things have changed overnight. Weird.
I will try and fix it tomorrow coz its getting late so I'm going to sign off now. Enjoy the rest of your evening.
Robert

Have a good night, success tomorrow, Loes

Hi Robert.

If you're happy people can find your posts without the menu - then if you go to Appearance -> Menus - you can remove the pages from the menu listed there.

Click on save menu when you've done that - and all the menu items will be gone.

All the best, Mark

But wont that remove the menus under the white as well. I want to keep that section and just get rid of the top one in black.

anyone out there have the training video address on how to resize a pic/image in wordpress media library before you actually insert into a page/post

Looks like you have it worked out. Good luck with your website

I just did it on my boots website. i went to the page where I wanted the image bigger. It's usually on visual. I went to text. The image was listed as 300 x 245. I raised it to 400 x 345. then 2 lines above changed it large where it said medium and saved. Thats the quickest way. Just write down what it was in case you don't like the new size. Hope that helps.

Thank you for getting back to me but as I explained to Lin I have it sorted now.
have a nice day.
Robert

thank you for this post
ken

Robert, I found this under help in Media Library.

This screen allows you to edit four fields for metadata in a file within the media library.

For images only, you can click on Edit Image under the thumbnail to expand out an inline image editor with icons for cropping, rotating, or flipping the image as well as for undoing and redoing. The boxes on the right give you more options for scaling the image, for cropping it, and for cropping the thumbnail in a different way than you crop the original image. You can click on Help in those boxes to get more information.

Note that you crop the image by clicking on it (the Crop icon is already selected) and dragging the cropping frame to select the desired part. Then click Save to retain the cropping.

Remember to click Update Media to save metadata entered or changed.

Hi LIn. Haven't heard from you in a while. Hows it going with your site, it must be all good coz you haven't been in touch. I was actually asking on behalf of another WA member (newbie). I knew there was a video so that's what I asked for. I know all the ways to size/resize pics so now probs for me but I didn't want to give a whole lot of instructions incase the member got confused so much better to give access to a training video.
Thank you for getting back to me though and you have a nice day.
Robert

Hi Robert. I was actually hoping I was able to help you out a bit in some minor area that I had learned, for all the help you have given me. I should have known you were reaching out to assist another lost soul in the WA community.

Doing well. Still haven't hooked up to GA or WMT so I haven't stressed about that lately. Thanks for that advice.

Ta for now. Lin

No Probs Lin. Seems like there's a lot of 'Lost Souls' here.
Its great you're doing ok, and yes stay out of analytics and webmasters tools until you're ready.
No point in getting stressed out with something when you don't fully undestand what you're doing.
You will get there Lin so you keep on doing what you're doing.
Have an excellent day.

You have the most excellent of days.
