Hi all (again), I've just spent a solid week doing nothing but trying to set a trigger (text) for a popup. I just don't seem to get it. I've read WP lessons on how to do it. I'

Hey Scott... sometimes we can get a little bit of tunnel vision and lock in on a very small detail with regards to our business as a whole. It's completely natural, but we want to do our best to avoid this.

Embedding a simple form into your page is a great way to collect emails, etc., and instead of popping up from a text click, it can instead either show up when your page is scrolled down to a certain point or when your user is about to leave your site, etc.

They don't require any added code except for the simple embed code for the form. Sumo has many options for forms and they are tried and true. It could be another option to look into.

Hi all, I recently purchased WPforms and then was directed to activate the license (I have the license #). I kept getting msg "

For security reasons, the hosting here at WA has the PHP function named "cURL" blocked which is likely the cause (as this is the function commonly used to request data from APIs).

SiteSupport *may* be able to enable this on a case-by-case basic but I'm not sure... Either way your best bet would be to contact them directly to see what they can do for you :)

Thanks Dale, I'll contact support and let you know how I make out.

thx again, Scott

Dale, you were right !
I contacted site support and they allowed external access, so I quickly activated the plugin and I'm all set.

Thanks again for the answer !

Scott

No problem at all buddy, glad I could help :)

Did you try their tool to see if it helped?

I did try to try and use their tool, but it kept taking me back to the WA site, so I didn't have much luck,

thx, Scott

I'd try to reach out again to their support, but if the premium version of their plugin just won't work for you, at least you can continue working with the free version.

Eric, FYI

I contacted site support and they allowed external access, so I quickly activated the plugin and I'm all set.

Scott

Great! Glad you figured it all out! Nicely done!

Authoring & Writing Content

I posted two items but I want the second item to be first. Can I change the order?


pls advise, thx Scott

You can also change your blog roll to show newest or oldest posts first. Though I wouldn’t change it to oldest first only because this will cause your blog roll to look stagnant with the same content always showing.

thank you !!!!!

Are you referring to the order of posts on your blog/page or in a menu?

on my page

Posts are displayed in reverse chronological order. Newer posts show up on top. You can edit the post date of your posts to change their order.

Thank you !

Any time

Hi Scott
In the menu- drag the post up above the other post and click update

Hi, I click "Evaluate a site" yesterday and made the mistake of leaving my comments directly on the site, instead of using the form on the actual "Evaluate a site" page. Ok, so

No...Site Comments and Site Feedback requests are few and far between and there’s a lot of people looking to leave them so it’s a matter of checking back every now and then and hoping to catch a request.

thank you!

Any time

Scott,
You are doing nothing wrong - the new Site Comment - gets
sites used up very quickly when people place a post for a
