Hi,
I have a business page in Facebook and have verified my domain within Facebook in the hopes of running paid ads to my landing pages.
The problem is that FB insists

Things you can do:

Check business manager settings within Meta.

Reach out to Facebook support or community forums.

Check for any policy violations.

Thank you for your reply. I've been all over Meta, have gotten assistance through community forums plus hoping that WA can help, and it is not a policy violation.
One theory is that it could be because WA uses wordpress hosting and some settings may need to be changed with domain registery and hosting.
Don't know.

Have you successfully run FB ads to a wealthy affiliate hosted site?

It should not be an issue if your domain has been verified on your business page. Have you checked if you had the correct spelling? I would type my options vs copy and paste that if you are not already doing it.

I don't think the hosting or registry has to do with that. That's internal within Facebook.

To answer your question, I ran ads but don't host my websites here.

I'm selling online courses through OptimisePress and my website is not sending emails when I test the purchase process. OptimisePress says that it is a hosting issue.
How

With optimize press you need to set up integration with your Autoresponder (aweber, mailpoet etc to optimizepress) and also with your paymentprovider (zapier, Paypal or others. Optimizepress have FAQ where the integrations with each autoresponder is described in detail. I hope that will help you.

Hi, thank you for responding.
I have OP3 integrated with mailchimp. But now that you mention it, I need to test it to see if the integration with this particular domain is actually working.

I set my course up following the OP3 online course tutorials; which uses free plugins to limit user access and to send the confirmation, login emails etc. So as far as I understand the set up, these emails don't go through my autoresponder. They go from the software loaded in my wordpress backend.

The confusion that I am having is that the emails aren't sending.
I am wondering if it has to do with the fact that I have my domain emails forwarded to a private gmail account which is also set up to send as my website domain address. For instance; I have my Weathly Affiliate website emails forwarded to my tlmartintraining@gmail.com email address. But I have that email send as tammy@leapintoyoufitness.com.
I wonder, could the forwarding from WA and the "sending as" be part of the problem?
What else do I look at?

I hope this isn't confusing. I'm trying to explain it as clearly as I can.

Tia!

This site is also a subdomain of my business site.

I guess there are only a few settings to do before it works. Did you create an API key within your Mailchimp Account?

Here is how:

You go to the extra menu and Account in your mailchimp dashboard and click create a key. Copy the Key and go to your website Go to Integrations in your wordpress Dashboard. Add a new integration. Find the picture where it says Mailchimp API integration. Add the key you created and save.

Now you can connect it: Go to OP3 dashboard, Integrations, Add new integraion. Search for Mailchimp integration. Holding your mouse over it a connect button appears. Click connect. You will den be directed to your Mailchimp login. Login and now you are connected.

It should work doing this

Hi, I'm pretty sure that the problem isn't with my mailchimp. These emails are formatted in the WP backend and WP should be triggered to send them when someone purchases the course.

I reached out to OP support and this is what they said.

"OptimizePress does not actually send any emails. We only create the email templates, and then trigger those templates to be used when orders are placed. Those emails are generated using those templates and then the default WordPress email functions are used, which then sends the email to your web hosting server to be processed. The actual sending of the email would be processed by your web host.

Unfortunately the way WordPress handles the emails can sometimes not meet the standards of the web host's email configuration, so it may sometimes be necessary to use an SMTP connection to bypass WordPress's normal way of sending emails."

He then suggested a plug in which I have tried before, but don't have the expertise to set it up properly.

So, I guess my questions are;
Is there something that needs to be fixed with the website?
Can these emails be sent out from Wordpress with Wealthy Affiliate Hosting or do I need the plugin?

What autoresponder are you using?

Hi an address you can create to go with your domain name.

i.e. "tammy @ leapintoyoufitness . com".

However, you may use a Gmail too if you like.

Hi AbieAJ,
So the admin email entered in the wordpress dashboard general settings can be the same domain?

Yes it can, you may want to add additional users in the future, that could John, Ronald, Sylvia etc with the domain name.

You can create a webmail or forward to mailbox and can log in individually provided they have the credentials.

As for privacy policy I would definitely use one that goes with my domain.

Great thank you! I will see make sure they all match and see if that solves my problem.

So very welcome.

Problem solved!
Many thanks to ChrystopherJ for sticking with me and coming up with a fix for my problem. I was about to delete Woocommerce from my site and rethink having a shop page. But he saved me from such desperate measures.
Thank you very much ChrystopherJ!

You’re welcome :-) Just so Pepler know, if they’re searching for a similar topic. This heading/wording was removed with one small line of CSS code, no PHP alterations at all and no need to create a child theme or to use FTP etc.

Hi Tammy,
That's a tough question but maybe I can help. Open Notepad on your computer and create a new file. Name the file index-bannerstrip.php. Make sure you add the .PHP extension when saving it. Now paste the code into the document. Save it to your desktop. Then use a program like File Zila to transfer the file to your word press theme. Here's how to use file zilla. Warning, you need to know what you are doing because a PHP file can damage your website if done incorrectly.
Hope this helps.;0)

Also, just to add, this can only be done if you are using a child theme of your parent theme.

Not all themes allow child themes, but the majority do.

When you implement a child theme, you will have to re-do any customisations you have made to the patent theme previously.

You might want to contact SiteSupport to help you setup a child theme.

Once you have a child theme, any files you place in that folder (via FTP), will replace three files in the patent theme, if they contain the same name.

I.e. you might not have to create your file from scratch. You can copy it from the parent theme to the child theme, and then make your changes to remove the text.

Hope this helps,
Chrystopher

Thanks Chrystopher, I used to mess with child themes in the beginning but not anymore. I find it easier to choose a good-looking theme and leave it as is. I rather concentrate on making more content.
Cheers;0)

Thank you Tony and Chrystopher,
This is way out of my league, but I think I'm sorting through it.
I have created a child theme just in case I screw this up.
I downloaded Sunset code for apple and generated this file.

Am I on the right track so far?
Now I am going to look at the Filezilla step.

What goes into this window for "Directories"?

I'm not a Mac user, sorry, I don't know how their file system works

The php file above that you have created doesn't look right. This is C++ and not PHP. How/Where was this file created?

I pasted this link https://pastebin.com/89EH0YgH into the sunset code file and clicked "Generate". I don't know if I should click "generate" or not.

Even if I get through this step I am thoroughly confused about how to use filezilla.

The link above looks more like the right thing you need.

FileZilla is just a file browser in theory, and you can see you local files and the files on the website.

I managed to get into filezilla client but there is a critical error in the file transfer.
I think I will have to walk away from this for the evening.

This little project has taken me all day. I'll have to rethink whether it's important enough to keep plugging through or to just delete woocommerce from my site.

Thank you ChrystoperJ for your help.

Are you selling your own products and services that requires WooCommerce? Also, what changes are you trying to make? The wording or to remove the words altogether?

If you want to remove sections, you might be able to do this with CSS instead, which is far simpler

Initially I was planning to sell mostly affiliate products and then add my own digital products as I develop them.

I'm trying to remove the words altogether. There isn't an edit option in the customizations or in the wordpress editor. It's ghost writing that appears on the live page only.

How do I do this with CSS?

Do you want to PM with your website's domain name and the exact words you want to be removed. I'l take a look and provide you with the CSS you need

This heading was removed using CSS, so it was resolved without having to create a child theme or any custom PHP coding.

Thank you all for your help. Unfortunately, the unwanted text does not appear in the text editor either.
