Does anyone know how to make the print darker for when a visitor is typing a comment? It's so faint it's hard for them to see what they are writing. It's fine though when I app
Sorry, the theme name doesn't give me any idea, but I do know from other members, that unfortunately some themes are just like that having a very light font color.
The only thing I could think of would be a plugin for fonts to choose a darker or bolder font.
Perhaps someone else has a better idea, but this is so far what I could think of.

Thanks for the suggestion. That is an option I could look at. It's helpful to know this can be a common problem. I'll check with the developer.

Any ideas on theme for a recipe blog. I've seen one I would like to purchase from Nimbus called Food blog theme. Is this necessary or should I just use a free one.
Well if you type in the right keyword in the search bar when looking for your themes, for example "cooking", you should get all the available cooking themes on wordpress :) Hope this helps.
I always look at recipes on mobile devices and tablets. Make sure it is mobile friendly. And Google does give some brownie points now by writing "mobile friendly" next to your site.

It is a matter of personal preference. I like the Genesis framework because I am more familiar with it. Genesis framework is a premium wordpress (not free). But there are a lot of very good themes that are free. I would suggest (a) that you research other sites to see the most common used theme, and (b) because I want to be unique (different) I may choose a different theme so that I stand out from the crowd. I hope this helps.

If you go into themes and then into Latest, I typed in Recipe and 5 choices came up. When I went into Popular, one came up as well.
I would try and find a free one before buying one, myself. :)
If go into your dashboard, and then into Appearance, you will see a "Themes" tab. From there follow the above directions. :)

Recently someone posted an article on hiding a website while working on it, but I can't find it now. I've found this link
There is WordPress plug in that will put your website into a maintenance mode... with a nice message letting your visitors know...
Here I did a search and found one to be considered.. I too will be looking at this... I've used them in the past and they are great... There are probably tons of them around.
Do you have a test site for testing plugin? I made one just for that purpose.. to test stuff without possible crashing a website in production. Something to consider...
https://wordpress.org/plugins/maintenance/
also,
I meant there should also be a drop down menu for the status, the top one, drop down includes DRAFT...I chose that and hid the site from public by clicking private....then I hit the orange update button.
plus I went to settings>reading>discourage google from indexing.
hope you found your way. it isn't easy but it is simple, that's what they say right?
Hi Tessa00, late to the party.
I'm researching this ? now too. Here's what I've gathered.
1- you can go to SETTINGS>READING>Then mark the bottom box that says "
Search Engine Visibility
Discourage search engines from indexing this site
It is up to search engines to honor this request."
OR/AND
2- go to each of your pages/posts - In same area as where you click "publish", well above that is this:
Status: Privately Published
Visibility: Private Edit
Edit visibility

----- I went by the STATUS: and used the drop down menu to select VISIBILITY: set it to private.
Can anyone else add to this, perhaps an easier, sure fire way to just hide our sites until we build them out and want to get indexed and want rankings?
I EVEN NEED TO CHANGE MY DOMAIN from siterubix to .com.....that means all PERMALINKS! Not good, I'm sure. HELP!
Thank you all.
I'm not sure you need to worry about Goggle indexing your page before you are ready, at which time you will verify your page with google. If you don't verify your page.. the google crawl bots will not index your pages. Google needs to validate you are the owner by placing some code into your page. There are several ways to do this.
This is where you go to add your property (website) then setup the code to verify.. then you can do a crawl request after all done.
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools then look for "search console"
I actually already got indexed and on page 1 in spots 3 & 4 for a couple of my words....happy but freaked out at same time...under pressure to get through the training but I'm really doing a lot of other research etc so I am putting extra time in each step and I guess it is paying off as far as getting into googles eyes.
I don't even have my affiliate stuff set up, it's just content.
I've though about this, but I would just would not publish anything until you were ready. I am sure there are other things you can do, but for starters I would save your work in progress as drafts.
Hope that helps a little.

I want to start off with building a normal web site to promote my current business. The templates available are very confusing. Is this straight forward or is WA all about blogg
Hi Tessa,
Wordpress can be used for both static page websites or blogging. Even if you don't have a blog page, you have the option to allow your visitors to leave a comment or not.
If you don't want commenting on your pages you can turn them off by clicking off the comment and discussion tabs on your pages. You will find those tabs inside the "screen options" located at the top right corner of each page.
Hope this helps.
Have a great day : )
Just use your pages and, don't for the moment use the post set up your menus under Appearance in the dash board,and under the
customize set a static page.
Here is a training by Carson
You can look at mine at www.welcometoourworldonline.com
to see how I have the menu at the top
Depends on what you actually need. WordPress is a blogging platform, but you can create static content using pages, hiding comments, so that it can look like ordinary static site. But if you need a custom dynamic web site, then you need to create one or outsource one if you are not a developer. Also I don't think you can host it on WA, but it's easy to find a different provider for dynamic web sites.
Web site suitable to offer a service not blog?
