I am trying to set up an automatic email for anyone who signs up on my site, however it requires adding some lines to my TXT file, and since WA is my host, GoDaddy won't let me

Hi

You can use the Ad Inserter plugin, as you do not want to edit your themes files directly as you will lose your changes when the theme updates or if you change your theme.

If unable do or any issues you may contact site support

Thank you; I should clarify that the TXT files are supposed to be added by who's hosting my site. But since WA is, I don't have access to the TXT fine in the DNS management by GoDaddy, and therefore I can't add the necessary lines for MailChimp to send an automatic email out when someone signs up.

Yes you may reach out to support.

So I was looking at the Site Explorer on Bing's Webmaster Tools and it is showing a URL that is getting rejected in Bing's indexing because it says the title is too long and th

Hope you were able to figure it out.

Thank you, I have not resolved it yet; I think Phil is on to something. But I will read those links you shared and see if I can resolve it.

The good think is since that URL exists nowhere on the site, no one will be led to it. It's just something on Bing's end that they are finding and I am not sure how they are finding it.

Let us know how you get on.

I will for sure. Merry Christmas!

Do you have a page or post that has any of the beginning characters.

It looks like that is the first line in your About Me Post (Page).
at least that is where I saw it.

I've looked and have seen nothing that would cause a url to include that line. :/

Look at your About Me Page. The first sentence. That's where the wording is.

Good Morning, yes I see it. But that is what I use for my Meta Description, but not the URL or slug. The Meta Title is "About Me and this site"; whereas the slug is "about-me". Thus, I am unsure how to resolve that. Unless Bing is using the meta description as the title; but that shouldn't be the case.

I don't know what bing did here.
Can you delete the Bing message and see it they find it again.
Not sure maybe it was something when you first started.

It's on their webmaster tools when I look at the url to see how good the SEO is. They list the url with that string behind it and I can't find out where they've got it from. Good doesn't list it.

Bing probably has a place where you can delete the errors you see when you are in it. I know Google Search Console does.
Find the error and see how you can delete it from their error message list for your website.

The line "Happy and Free is Who I am; Serving You in Your Health Journey is What I Do" is the first line in your About Me page, which has the correct URL https://larrysnellings.com/about-me/.

This probably means that at some point of time, you used "Happy and Free is Who I am; Serving You in Your Health Journey is What I Do" as the page name and so it also became the slug and got into the Bing database then.

I'd resubmit the About Me page to Bing webmaster tools. That won't get rid of the wrong one, but it's not causing any harm and will eventually drop out of the database.

Thank you, Phil!

I will do that and see if that will help. Would this cause Bing to penalize my overall rankings for my site?

Not at all.

Actually, there's no such thing as an overall ranking for your site.

Your site is simply a collection of posts and pages and each is ranked individually for various keywords/search terms.

Ah I understand! Great, thank you!
