Hi TheAbie--

That link will only work if you have an account with WA. Otherwise, it redirects you to the sign-up page.

But I appreciate it. The root of my question stemmed when I saw the page that you're referring to, but it shows the grandfathered elements available to me if I wanted to upgrade. I'm interested in advertising the upgrade to prospects.

I shared it with you as a premium subscriber as you will able to see the details of what you want to mention to your starters via your website or marketing campaigns etc.

Precisely that.

Thanks Diane!

... a follow-up question: would the prospect receive the discount pricing (~50%).

Hi - you mean the reduced rate discount on their first month?

No, that offer was removed last year.

The membership is full price right from the start, but they do get a free .com domain with their first payment.

There have been a lot of changes recently.

Thanks again, Diane.

Thanks Marion! I also talked with Support and they said the same thing. Have a great day.

Thanks Marion. Great training tool. Do you think that WP links to internal drafts by using the ?p=id page number and that it links to internal published pages/posts by the normal /post-name structure?

You need to select Post Name for your permalinks. You can't link to posts or pages that haven't been published. Go to Settings > Permalinks to select Post Name

Thanks. I already understand all of that. My permalink setting is the same as it was when the site was created. Yes, you CAN link to posts or pages that haven't been published. Copy the permalink in the edit mode of a draft. What it does is copy the ?p=
Of course, no one really wishes to link to drafts as an end result, but this was the reason for my original question. That is what I was seeing above in my original post here, and now I'm beginning to answer my own question!

Sounds like you've got it. Only you can see the drafts, not your visitors and not Google.

Right. The only reason I got into this question in the first place is because I'm building a site that requires a great number of internal links. I'm in the draft creation mode of these posts, rather than a normal blog style. I guess that's why I ran into this and I hadn't read about it anywhere else that I searched on the site.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Armand. That's good info, but that's not my issue. Although I think that I just figured out that WP directs internal links differently for published vs. draft, and that might be it.

But this will be good to have for the future. Thanks again.

Yw!

The internal linking makes sense. In a way, that might make up for 'lack of length' in the grading scale. But you've hit the nail on the head, really. If the topic needs more explanation, then make it longer. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

Thanks,
Steve

I think you're right. I have to be careful to no be too short. The thought needs to be complete, whether it's by filling out all of the content or internal linking to complete a different segment of the thought.

Balance is probably key. Thanks for commenting.

I'm up to speed now Leo. I see how it was a tool that used to be used but is really no longer necessary/viable. Makes sense to me to ignore and just concentrate on my own sites. Thanks.

No worries, anytime

Yep, that got me completely up to date. Thanks. Do you think that Kyle and Carson have plans to update the training material?

I don’t know, but I hope they do because quite a lot of members are getting confused by it. But then again, there are countless of update tutorials made by members to cover that so that definitely helps a lot.

Me too, me too. I'm sure that Kyle and Carson have a ton on their plate, but I see that as important info that should be told up front, and I hope that if they can't get to it that they hire someone to take care of it for them.

Agree. As of now, it’s up to us to do that. So, If you’re planning to write a WA review or already writing it, make sure to include that so people know what to expect.
