Hi guys, I hope someone can help me as I'm having a real big issue with something. I need to access my DNS records as I need to add some new records to comply with my email hos

Has this been figured out?

You can always contact site support if you are unclear or have issues.

Hi - domain registration and hosting are 2 separate things.

So, if your domain is registered here (they use eNom as the registrar), then you will be paying your yearly renewal fee to WA.

If your website is hosted elsewhere, you will be paying a separate fee with a different provider.

So, you will need to find invoices or emails for your hosting, to find their support and contact details.

You can also use https://whois.domaintools.com/ to find details of your hosting provider.

Unfortunately, if your website is not hosted in WA, then Site Support will not be able to help you with any technical problems.

Hi Diane,

Thanks for your response. Ok, so I have verified that my domain is hosted with Amazon Route 53. Site support have verified this as well. I think I'm just getting confused because my last payment for my domain came from WA. I have attached a screenshot that I just took form my profile. It even says next payment due in June 24. If my site is hosted on Amazon Route 53 then why are my payments coming from here? Thanks :-)

Hi - as I mentioned, domains and hosting are not the same.

Your domain is registered here, so presumably you are paying $16 per year.

That simply gives you the right to retain that name.

You must be paying an additional fee elsewhere to host your website.

Hosting keeps your site live and accessible on the internet.

Initially, your site would have been hosted here, as it is included in your membership fee.

But, at some point, you have moved it elsewhere.

Yes, I do use another company to host me website, but when I asked them to access my DNA records they said that they couldn't and I had to come here to ask about it. I then got told that I am using Amazon Route 53 by WA to host my domain, which I'd never heard of. So, now I'm in the process of trying to contact them, which is not easy.
I guess I just didn't understand all of this properly. I just wondered why I'm paying here and hosted on Amazon Route 53. I didn't understand how it works. I still don't really. My domain is registered and I pay $14.99 yearly at WA for it but apparently it's not on the Enom registrar that you mentioned earlier. Site support told me it's on Amazon Route 53. How can this be if I'm paying for it to be registered here.
I'm so sorry, this is just driving me mad. But, thank you so much for being patient and helping me :-)

I'm not sure how hard this will actually be, but I would like to know how I go about creating an app?
I already have a subscription product for meal plans up and running, b

You can create a mobile app for free without coding.
Check YouTube videos.

Hey Stefanie,

Google searching your question, I found soooo many great tutorials, video trainings, etc., thought I should let you know. Think you will be impressed with all of the choices you will have.

Hope you find this helpful.

Great answer Trish.
Thank you for sharing.

Delroy

You're very welcome Delroy, and Thank YOU for letting me know that this helped you too.

You're welcome Trish.

Hi Stefanie
I don't know about building an app.
I find that having and using a Google calendar helpful because it has a search feature on it.
Best wishes,

Delroy

Hi Delroy, thanks for your input :-)

You're welcome Stefanie 😊

Hi Stefanie
I have no expeirence of doing this ... but if I wanted to learn I'd google ... build an app without coding ... or similar and learn from there ...
unless of course someone with experience answers ...

Richard

Thanks Richard :-)

i've not gone through hte whole process but there is a way to change a google doc into an app
https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/no-code-development/turn-google-sheet-data-into-a-no-code-web-app-with-appsheet
worth a review

if you do go the pro route and get a designer ...specify what you want first...
do some sketches and get them to wireframe...
it is all about the specification...

good luck
phil

Hi Phil,

Wow, this is great info! However, I just don't see how a Google doc can withhold all the information I need in an app. Such as a database for recipes and the ability to filter out specific ingredients and generate shopping lists etc.

I think I may need to pay someone to do it. And, yes, I will definitely decide exactly how I want it first :-)

you would be creating spread sheets with the information on in certain areas and this links to your app ...so you can add to it for the future...
as far as i could see....
filtering is a similar process as with spread sheets and applicable to the app...
it may not be comprehensive enough for what you want ...but worth bearing in mind even if you get a designer to create one as i am sure it would be good to be able to update it...in an easy to use interface...

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how to add a banner along the very top of my website that comes up on all pages and posts with a little cross on it for people to shut down if

Hi

You can use https://www.slickstream.com/

You can try for free however Pricing is minimal $10 /mo

You can see it live https://pinchofyum.com/

Hope this helps.

Hey Stefanie,

Hoping that you mean the site that is on your profile, as I had to discover the theme you are using in order to be able to advise you best.

If it is, then you are using the GeneratePress theme... see screen print below... to discover how you can find tutorials on adding a banner to the top of your website.

Hope you find this helpful.

Thank you so much. This is really helpful. I am using Generate Press theme yes.

Thanks again! :-)

there are top bar plugins
or if you want to use ad inserter it can add the topbar...but will not be closable...but if you make it thin do you need to with a link to another page for more info...
with ad inserter you can select which platforms to show it on so you can have a different one for mobile to desktop...
phil

Hey Phil, how are you?
It's been a long time. I hope you're well and you website is dong ok?

Thanks for the information hun :-)

has been a while...
site doing ok...
starting to get back into it at the moment....
hope you are doing ok....

Oof. It's easier to do this with a theme that caters to your request. However, sliders would be of help too if that makes it easier. Also, you can utilize an email list or newsletter signup so you can get emails too for future marketing. From what you want, I think popups are your best tool.

Thanks Imbella, I need this banner to sell my meal plans as I already have email sign up pop ups. Thanks for the info about the sliders. I will look into it.

Thanks for your help :-)

Hi guys,
I have a website based around recipes mostly. Nearly all of my traffic comes from Facebook as I have lots of groups and quite a large following. We have just set up

Hi there,

Google is not going to penalise posts for low word count if your posts are 500+ words.

However, here's the thing: if you 'noindex' your posts (and exclude them in your sitemap) you won't get *any* search traffic to them.

If you don't 'noindex' them you will get search traffic to them, even if Google reduced their position in the SERPS because of low word count (which they won't).

It's quality of content that matters most, not the word count.

Thank YOU Martin for bringing the conversation back to Stefanie's question. You are SO right!

Sorry Stefanie for not paying closer attention to what you had asked in the first place.

It's ok, thank you. I am very grateful for your answer about the plugin below.

Thanks again. You are so helpful :-)

I just added this tag to <head> section of my page's HTML on one of the pages that I don't want to be indexed in Google: <meta name="robots" content="noindex">

Hi Andrea,

Thanks, this is great information. Is this different from just ticking the 'no index' box at the bottom of the post? Thanks

Hey Andrea and Stefanie,

If you use an SEO plugin, you can simply add a checkmark to a post you do not want indexed... but you ALSO have to add that post to your sitemap EXCLUDE textbox so Google won't cry foul on your Google Analytics. Here's the new AIOSEO plugin documentation: https://aioseo.com/docs/noindex-settings/

Thank you so much for this information. I will use this plugin, definitely :-)

Just another question. I'd rather not add a plugin as people are always saying not to add too many plugins. Can I not click the 'no index' box at the end of every post. That's just as easy as using a plugin right?
Thanks

Hey Stefanie,

You truly WANT your recipes indexed, so... not sure why you'd want them set as NOINDEX.

My comment was directed to Andrea, as adding ANY code to the header of a WordPress theme's header will only have it disappear then next time that theme is updated.

Martin (aka Abledragon) responded to you perfectly.

If you're worried about your recipe being too few of words, you could add, let's say, two or three paragraphs BEFORE your recipe, talking about how you came to using this recipe, when you like to make it, etc.

You know, though speaking to your best friend...

Are you NOT using a SEO plugin at all?
