Hi Everyone in my WA family, I have recently come across a problem with a few people trying to leave comments on my site. Everything was going great until my last two current a

Okay family, as of today 19th September, I am still having a lot of problems. I have done what everyone has suggested and deleted or removed plugins but people are still finding a problem leaving comments. I don't understand why it has happened all of a sudden and I am now desperate. So any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Tracy

Thank you everyone, for your help and advice I now need you guys to test my comments section again to see if my changes worked. Cheers Tracy :)

You can also uninstall WP Spamshield (or any other anti-spam plugin), if you have it. I had the same issue, and it was gone after I removed Spamshield.

Thank you for the sharing. Loes had very good training.

IF YOU ARE USING CK EDITOR.......DELETE IT AND GET ANOTHER ONE ...I USE F(X)EDITOR. ALSO AS MEL SAID....IF YOU HAVE ANY SPAM SHEILDS DELETE THEM :-)) LET US KNOW HOW YOU GET ON :-))

Ive had a couple of people say they tried and it didnt work but then other people can. IDK either.

If you have Askimet installed, please uninstall immediately. It is no longer compatible with WA hosting as explained in Kyle's post that MKearns references below.

Thank you, I didn't know this.

I HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND IT WAS MY "CK EDITOR" I TOOK IT OFF AND REPLACED IT WITH F(X)EDITOR AND ALL IS NOW FINE XOXOX

Did you update something recently such as your browser or even your wp theme?

Her issue is the Askimet plug-in, it is no longer necessary with WA Hosting and will cause all sorts of comment problems. See the message from Kyle that MKearns linked to.

You don't need Askimet any more. Kyle explains here. .

Thanks Mike, I have now deleted Askimet and I am waiting to see if people can now comment. Cheers Tracy :)

Thanks Loes, I have changed the setting, hopefully that has fixed the problem now. Cheers Tracy :)

If you have Askimet installed, uninstall it. There is site-wide spam protection now that makes it unnecessary.

But I have has Askimet since day dot and it has never caused any problems before. Why would it start now?

Because WA updated their overall Site Protection. Kyle has advised to uninstall. Until you do so, you'll continue to have problems.

I have now deleted it, thanks for your help. Cheers Tracy :)

WA Affiliate Program
Updated

Morning Guys, I would like to let all my friends outside WA know about this great program but I'm not sure how to go about it. My niche and website don't really allow or cater

Hey When you have a moment, go through my short training on how to promote WA with a niche site. You'll find it here Go well from Janelle

Hi Janelle, I'll check it out as soon as I have time. Cheers Tracy :)

Yes you can simply email them your way link or even post your wa link on Facebook

Thank you :)

Social media. I know in my case, sometimes only one well placed word in the sharing link makes me want to check it out. Good luck!

Just share your unique affiliate link with friends and family via social media or in person. The training above explains all of the different ways every member can promote WA. NOTE, people living in the same household that want to sign up have to sign up under different IP addresses.

If you wish to customize your WA Affiliate Home Page as well as use other customized affiliate links, read how at the below link.

Thankd]s for the information and link, I will check them both out. Cheers Tracy:)

You are welcome

Business cards with your web site(s) on them are great, too.
Hand these to people you meet when exchanging contact info.

I would have to say, social media. I have had success with Twitter but you need to create a advertising card instead of using a general tweeter unless you have a strong following.

Social media.

You have many ways to promote, social media, traffic exchanges, mailers, forums, friends and family and Skype if you use it. Just be careful of the way you promote, no one likes spam. Most pass up banner advertising but it does work well too.

Use your social media accounts as well as talk about WA by word of mouth with your friends.

It can absolutely be done through both mail and facebook (and other social media)

Hi Guys, I have been reading a lot of money success stories of recent but they all seem to be related to the niche "Making money on line" etc. Does anyone know of a good money

I'm not sure about "success" story, but my niche is about the wire and gemstone jewelry I make. Take a look at it. Is this what you're looking for? Please don't get discouraged. I don't have links or a shopping cart yet but I'm working on it diligently, and I'm sure eventually I'll get the sales coming in. I keep telling myself "I can't make any money if I don't put a shopping cart in", or "I can't make any money if I don't get those links in ..." and things like that. I don't even have any good pics yet. Please keep plugging away at it. I will if you will. Keep in touch.

Cindy

Hi Cindy, thanks for the encourgement, I will keep plugging and stop thinking those negative thoughts. Tracy :)

I thought you might be interested in this. It was put together by Nathaniell and shares different success stories by WA members.

Some are involved with the make money online niche, others aren't. There's plenty out there even if you don't come by them all: These things simply take time.

Thanks Jason,
I will take a look at these blogs and hopefully they will inspire me to keep going. Tracy

I have a craft site, but put it on hold to promote wa as it is more lucrative income. I have been through almost entire first course. Quiltingmaterialyarncraftsuppliesandclasses.com and do not have any links or anything yet on that site. The other is websiteprofit101.com. I would go with something you are passionate about and have lots of experience.

Hi Gina, I just visited your Quilting site and I live it but I agree promoting WA seems to be more lucrative. I think I might have to follow your lead in this respect and start promoting WA. Cheers Tracy

Tracy looking good. Had my daughter look at it haven't heard back from her yet

Thanks for that :)

It's not the funnest method (in my opinion), but have you tried using the SiteComments feature here?

It's a give and take system where you offer two comments on other WA members website's in exchange for one:

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/comments

Thanks Jason, I had a mental blank for a minute there. I have just been at the comment page and reviewed and left comments on a couple of sites but I forgot how to get comments on my Posts. Trying to do too much I guess. LOL :)

No problem :)

It's a drag doing, but it's effective!

Morning guys,
I have just created my first non-niche post (she says very nervously) and I was hoping to get some feedback it on. Also not sure if it should be a page on my w

My honest opinion is that you should put the information WA as a post or page, it does not matter too much, but I would put it in the sidebar menu.

I think it's okay to include it. Your niche is clear that it is and if you want to explain how you learn to do your blog, I see no problem when you put it.

Regarding the content of the post / page, I think the title (How to create ...) should have the letter much bigger and I suggest that you include a banner WA. It will be more attractive.

And I wanted to say that because of you I lost 10 minutes watching video James Corden !!! LOL

Hi Inigo,Thanks for your suggestion and yes James Corden is so funny. Cheers Tracy:)

I guess my big question is why you are promoting a free beginners guide to people that are looking for nail art. These are two totally unrelated niches. You will just end up confusing your audience.

Hi Craig, thanks for your thoughts but I have had a lot of questions from my family and friends on how I got my site and how interested they where on having their own. I just thought it would be a way for anyone interested. Do you really think it is that confusing? You are the only person so far that has thought this way, Not sure what to do now, my confidence is totally shot.
Tracy

Pop up a siterubix site that is focused on promoting WA. Keep your other site for nail art. You can add a link to the siterubix site on your about me page.

Okay Guys, I have just changed it to a page, what do you think? I am not sure how to link the page in blogs or footer though. Cheers again.

Tracy right now I am in the hospital and the drugs are starting to kick in. If you need help with that still I can help tomorrow. I don't know if I like the page being in your menu bar

OMG Tim, I hope everything is okay. Don't worry about my site just get yourself better. Sending good thoughts your way. Tracy

As Tim pointed out, I would add this as a page.

You can also place a link to your post in the footer menu, side menu, or even the about me page to help invite people to WA.

In the menu section you can title it the same as your post 'Create Your Own website For Free'.

The page looks great. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Jason :)

Tracy I would add that as a page as it is not exactly in your niche. You might add a link to it at the bottom of some of your posts possibly . It is a good looking page!

Hi Tim, Thank you for your input, I will change it to a page as see what happens. Tracy:)
