Is there an automatic backup scheduled for my site/s. If so , how often is the backup performed and what would i need to do to restore the backup. I am not having any issues wi
You site is backup by site support daily. However is you do have issue later you can also ask site support to restore your site to a particular time.
Personally I also keep a copy of all my posts and pages in Microsoft Word and save them to my computer. That way I also have a personal backup in case something goes wrong elsewhere.
Many plugins even WordPress when an update is due tells to you perform a backup prior to upgrading so nothing new to that just standard procedures.
Also as Abie stated Elementor does tend to slow site down and really is a plugin of the past. You dont' really need to. If you have Generatepress the Block editor can do a lot without the need to use Elementor.
Wishing you well and have a great weekend.

You can ask for a backup from the site support team. Our websites are backed up daily. Boost Your Site's Performance: Understanding Plugin Restrictions at Wealthy Affiliate I really would not recommend you use Elementor vs your Block editor. Elementor is known to slow websites down, and it isn't easy to get rid of the code if you ever want to deactivate and delete the plugin.

Yes, we have you covered Steve. We do have access to real time data, but we do full back-ups daily for you.
If you are making significant updates to your website (changing a theme, making major changes), our SiteSupport team can also create a 'staging website" for you to test the changes out on, before you publish them.
You can also ask them for full back-ups before you run any major changes, but I don't recommend using plugins for this as they are abusive, and can take down websites and cause problems. We have you fully covered here within WA! :)

So my website seemed to be progressing along nicely with Google, and then last week my stats are telling me my search impressions and keywords have both dropped to zero. Ny sit
Hey Steve!
iI’s definitely concerning when your rankings suddenly drop, especially when things were going well. But don’t panic just yet—this can happen with new websites as they go through what's known as the 'Google Sandbox' effect. Sometimes, Google temporarily suppresses rankings for new sites to evaluate them more thoroughly.
It’s also a good idea to double-check if there were any recent Google algorithm updates that could have affected your site. Make sure to review your site’s content and SEO practices to ensure everything follows Google’s guidelines.
If you think it might be a penalty, you can check your Google Search Console for any manual action notifications. In the meantime, keep focusing on producing high-quality content and building backlinks, and hopefully, your rankings will bounce back soon!

Hi Steve
It’s probably the Google algorithm, but you can check in Google Search Console to see if you have a manual penalty and if any posts have been de-indexed.

thanks Frank. I dont see anything out of the ordinary in GSC so i guess we just keep moving on. my activity has slowed down a bit in the last week or so cause work has been pretty hectic. plan is to get some things happening today and over the weekend

I would continue progressing :) Site Recovered After August Update - Never Give Up! Abie

This morning I am getting the following error with Sitekit. I have tried reconnecting the plugin but the error remains. Anyone with experience or solution to the problem ,
U
cURL error 7: Operation timed out
This message may display if your network requests are blocked at the host level or you're experiencing issues with your cURL or DNS configurations. If you encounter this message, check with site support and ask about any known blocks or limitations.

This is what I found on Google for this:
cURL-related errors such as cURL 60 error – no curl.cainfo set in PHP and cURL error 7: Failed to connect to sitekit.withgoogle.com are the result of a misconfiguration at the hosting level, so you’ll need to communicate with your hosting provider or check your hosting configurations.
I suggest reaching out to site support for further assistance.
I hope this was helpful.

Thanks Stacie. Yes I reached out to support and they are all over it. Just waiting on my site to be migrated to new server and should be all sorted. I appreciate your help.
Cheers Steve

Interested to hear feedback from people about how they spend their time on the affiliate marketing tasks? How much time do you spend per week creating content? How much time do
It's no different than any other priority you have. How much time you set aside for it and how much you prioritize it will be directly reflected in how much you learn and progress.
If you're studying for a promotional exam for work or school and you set aside 2 hours a week how will you fare against the person studying 2 hours a day?
Consistency is key. Try to learn and apply what you learn each and every day. 👍🏼
I don't think that I have a set time Steve.
Some days it might be 20 minutes morning, afternoon evening.
Some days, nothing.
Its all done to suit me and fit in around other things that are making money.
If I'm on the platform and somebody needs help, then they get it.
Mix and match Steve and don't worry about what you do or don't do.
Bux
Thanks Bux for the feedback. I guess at the moment there seems like a lot to do and I am just trying to stay productive by doing the things that get the best results. Just got to remind myself to be patient and follow the process I guess
I wouldn't compare myself to others here. Each person is different, and so are their circumstances. What works for them may not work for you, and vice versa. These are just my two cents.
For socials, there to do business and not socialize... So a top 45 minutes daily is quite fantastic; three visits @15 minutes each visit +/-
Further to add here, content is king.
Abie
Thanks Abie I take your point about not comparing to others and I am not interested in copying anyone as such. That being said I also believe that success leaves clues and I am always interested to see what someone else's process looks like and what might relate to me
