Hi Wealthy Affiliates, hope you are all keeping well.
I was wondering if anyone has come across any free tools or websites available that can convert photographs into illust
A friend of mine is a photographer who converts photos into sketches and sells them at craft shows. She uses "PhotoFunia" (she says that it's a one-stop place for all types of photo editing, that will add sketch effects) and loves it, but has also heard of "Pho.to" which is a sketch effect adding tool that will let you add different types of pre-made sketch effects.
There are a few others.

Thank you Mike, I'll definitely have a look at those too, I will just need to watch a few youtube videos on them and see which is best. Thanks
You can probably also Google them...I'm sure there is plenty of good reviews out there!

Most cameras have a small range of options for this but there are several software applications that can do it.
I use PhotoShop and find it can do everything I want. PhotoShop is extremely powerful and there is a learning curve.
I would suggest you go to YouTube abnd search for "Convert a photograph into an Illustration" - that will keep you busy for a while. :)
Good luck
Lol thanks for the info mate, yeah I was searching today for a bit, and I could really see anything that I was looking for.
I've never used photoshop, I was never the most technical lol, I'll have a look at that too mate. Thanks
The search goes on.........
maybe try photopea.com and use the find edges filter....or try out other filters...
depending on what illustrations you are after there are a few online programs...

You can look up in Plugins and add new, input keyword. I make sure it is compatible with your theme.

Hi guys, I used Canva recently to add a header to my site, and don't really like the look of it, are there any tips or links for me to try and create a decent-looking header? <
That really depends on the theme you are using.
You may want to check your options in Appearance > Customize.
If your free siterubix.com website is available to trying headers. you could install the same theme there and try some images.
You can also look for a youtube video for your theme. Usually they have one. Plus your theme will have documentation.
It is good to learn how to do it.
We use MS Power point. but many use Canva.

A header picture I take it is what you mean?
I just used the free images available through Site Content. Alternatively, try these: Free Image Sources It also depends on what Theme you've chosen for your site. You may need to play around a bit to ensure the right header looks good with the right theme.

Hi guys, I was watching a tutorial video on WP Beginner about Google My Maps and was looking to add a map on one of my posts showing directions to a destination and attraction.
was it this one
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-google-maps-in-wordpress/
and did the code from google maps have the iframe...
if it did then adding it to a custom html block will display it....
the extra bit for seo from aio is with the paid version of aio for local seo
when you say it deosn't work...could you expand on that ...
it doesn't show...
you have looked at the source code for the page and it isn't there...
