Hi everyone,
so far all my post are in "blog". I did make categories but it would be better, from visitor's point of view, if there were categories (as pages) in the head
If you don't like the look of the category blog roll pages, you can use this plugin to add posts to a page
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-show-posts/
Ok, then I would switch one post in each category into page. But I can't change all the posts
I would like to have name of category in the header, and then to have posts there (as dropdown)
Not sure if I follow, but you do not have to change your posts to pages, that is not what I mentioned/suggested.
This might also help, just change the categories to suit your own website :-) How To Separate Blog Posts and Review Posts
Hi you can place your categories in your primary menu, then edit posts to which category they belong to.
Go to Appearance --> Menus
i have one site display both. Categories and blog.

What is the best way to relocate posts from "blog roll"?

Following training, I made a page Affiliate Disclosure and it's in the main menu, plus I've placed it in the footer too. So, is there a reason to start any post with a snippet
Did you set up your Affiliate Disclosure page? If not go to Site Content, and select the template and choose the Affiliate Disclosure page. That's all you need for your disclosure, fill it out with your site information.
Yes I did. That's exactly why I'm asking this question, cause I thought that's it, it's always visible, as main menu stays on the top of the page, and I've also placed it in the footer. But, as I see post starting with a Disclosure, I asked
I don't think it is necessary by law to have a disclosure within every article but some people like to do that. I have seen others add disclosure wording before each link but personally I think if I were to put a notice in the content I would maybe include it near the end or within the closing of the post.
You're right, even though it's truly repetitive, but I guess their point being in the fact that not many ppl read policies and disclosures in the main menu, so.... let's include a snippet on each post (oh G)
Hi Tajana,
Accordint to the FTP you should put it the nearest possible to your affiliate links, and clear and conspicuous.
You should have a disclaimer in your post content, in every post where you promote affiliate links.
Here is some training that will give you full insight. Affiliate Disclosures, FTC Guidelines, and Amazon Rules I know is a pain in the butt, but you risk losing commissions if you don;t do this.
I personally have my affiliate disclaimer in every post, right after the intro of the article and before the first sub-heading (because from then on there will be affiliate links)
You do not have to put a disclaimer in every affiliate link, unless when you been approved by a merchant they have explicitly required it.
In that case, have no choice, make it short and sweet but clear and visible. So it won;t bother your visitors, but at the same time it will be in place.
I hope this helps

I am not sure if you using the classic or the blocks editor in WP.
I use the blocks editor and you can create reusable blocks. So I dont type this disclaimer every time.
Just an idea.

My mobile upload speed is quite bad. Solution - remove unused codes! Lovely, but how? Is there a plugin that can do that?
You can use a plugin called Asset Cleanup to remove unused css. You can find more information on it here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/
I found this article that may also be of interest: https://isotropic.co/the-best-wordpress-plugin-to-remove-unused-css-and-how-to-use-it/
Good luck, Shannon
Additional JS & CSS is typically added by plugins, so I would suggest removing plugins 1 by 1 & retesting as you go to see which ones are adding the additional scripts/JS.
Anything that has an "effect", such as a floating bar or social buttons will typically contain heavy JS... So that's always a good place to start.
You know what's strange, my upload speeds were great until 3 days ago. Since then I was setting Google Analytics and Console following webinars and added code for Adsense. Suddenly, mob speed collapsed
Yeah that's additional JS... It will affect your score. But don't get too caught up on your score, you'll pull your hair out trying to get it perfect.

I'm really struggling with it. When I enter html code in "text" option in the back office, while editing, I get (in "Visual") pic. ikon and text. Plus, there are great banners
have you tried previewing your page to see what you get - the visual does not always provide an accurate representative of what is there.
have fun
phil
just copying the image into a new tab you get the correct image for a product.
there maybe something with your theme then - i have just added it into a page in text mode and then changed to visual and it shows hte image....
Hi Phil - I have just sent Tatjana screenshots to show that it works correctly on my practice site too.
Possible. Eventhough I never faced that problem before, even when addingYouTube videos. Works like a charm.
Anyway, than you for trying,
Tanya
Diane (btw I'm Scorpio too - Novemb. :)
Thank you so much. You're always so kind and helpful.
Well, code is good, the procedure is correct (I do the same steps as when adding a YouTube video) but....I'll keep digging :(
Thanks again,
All the best
Tanya
I'm not sure I understand. You enter the code in the text option and it shows when you go to visual? That is what it is supposed to do, so I might be misunderstanding (sorry!)
Can you please elaborate?
I copy HTML code for banner. Make a place on post, type e.g. "banner' and go to "Text' where I copy that link in highlighted "banner" I typed in. But going back on Visual I get pic/video icon and text link
