-If you get stuck on anything, especially framework, or cut and paste, ask your fellow WA students, and go to the help center, ask Kyle and Carson, and ask about cut and paste from your Librarian, It worked for me, good luck!

hi Xilavi, this is a great starting point to add in your about me page, you'll always be able to edit it later on, go with the one which best describes why you like your topic and your experience with it.

I think the point at this stage is to communicate who you are and what you've done in your life that relates to your choice of health as your niche, and which people can relate to. I think it's fantastic and I admire that you've been a nurse for so long. You don't have to be an expert affiliate like Kyle in to 'promote' yourself, your niche and your health recommendations site. You are promoting your niche interest not affiliate marketing, which is Kyle's. I'm also a newbie at this so I hope this is correct information I'm giving. I think it is. Please someone else answer if not! thank you. All good luck and blessings to you. You have already made a huge contribution.

When you create Pages, you need to add them your menu. That's probably in the next lesson about menus but here's some training for you: Creating Custom Menus on Your Website Adding Pages to Your Menu It's only when you create Posts, that's when it will just show up on your site on your blogroll.

Are you at the back end of your website to find those boxes to check off? Once published, you need to login to your site in the Wordpress admin area, go to Pages, find your Private policy page, and click Edit link, then scroll down there. You should be able to find the boxes there to check off. If not, please let me know.

I did all that, it didn't work.

Try that again, you may need to open up “screen options” on top right corner of your WordPress screen and you should be able to see if you can show those comment boxes there.

Found the screen option tab. I clicked it. What next?

Sorry for my delay, see attached, it should be one of these boxes that should be checked so you have those options show up below your post.

Cool, Did it, thanks.

Yay! you're welcome. :)

still have one more issue. I have started three web sites. I have posted privacy policy's on all three, but the policy's don't show up on the home pages. All I see on all three home pages is the "about Virginia" post. There is no link to the privacy page. Why?

I answered this in my first reply to you, see above. :)

OK, Going through that lesson now, thanks.

That's great, if you have more questions, I have to answer tomorrow cuz it's midnight here soon. :)

Kyle walked me through it, I'm good now, Thanks.

Perfect so glad to hear. :)

Phollett,
Please note that none of the grammar checkers anywhere are exact sciences. I'm a writer and often wonder what the checkers are up to in their assessments. I tell fellow writers all the time to read and re-read their work slowly and out loud. These electronic applications are not designed to TOTALLY replace human review - my opinion.

For you, save your work and then refresh your page. The page may be loading slowly. If that doesn't fix the problem, send a message to the Help Desk here at WA.
Bev

Thanks Beverly, and that worked. It keeps amazing me the help we get. The best in your efforts

I actually find the spell checker here is wrong more than right. OK I use Australian spelling (after all this is now my country and I respect it) so I just hit ignore either once or all the time. But a lot of other times the suggestions are way out.

I sympathize with you because I experienced the challenges having born and lived the former South American country Guyana, which was once a British colony. You will overcome anyway. One of the rules with the words (labour and Saviour) the vowel "u" is omitted in the US. Of course I have lived in the USA for more than 40 years so I have made the adjustment.

All I speak and read is English so that isn't a challenge. And I lived for years in Canada so I am quite familiar with USA English.

What I am saying here is that the SiteContent spell check leaves a lot to be desired in suggesting alternatives. Not about the differences between US English and commonwealth countries English.

I really admire you guys who have conquered English as another language.

Hi Ann,
I am taking a long time as well, and I keep reminding myself I will pick up speed, once I learn it.Good luck

Slow but sure wins the race. I have been taking my time also. Sometimes I listen to the video instructions two to three times. You are doing great.

Bill, I also find many of the suggestions completely wrong. I have no problem with this if once you ignore something, it would take heed and not bring it up again when you do another spell check!

You speak the TRUTH!

Agreed...very good tool.

Nothing is perfect, Bill. It's always good practice to read through your own content.

Hi Zahir,

You can turn comments on and off on a page/ post level.

So what you need to do is login to your actual site, and then navigate to the page or post you are wanting to remove the comments from.

Once there...

1) Click on the top of your screen where it says 'screen options' and click on that.

2) Make sure the 'discussion' box is checked.

3) Scroll down to the bottom of the page to where it says 'discussion' and make sure the 'allow comments' box is NOT checked.

That's it. You can repeat this process to turn comments off and on across any page or post on your site. By default comments are switched on though, so most likely you will only use this to turn comments off.

See screenshots for a visual look at the above steps.

Hope this helps! Cheers

Thanks for the explanation. It worked for me.

Cool glad I could be of help to you. Cheers

true,the presentation is just but awesome

a lot of information indeed ,well explained

I am glad I am not the only one who took notes and had to review the video. I know that I will get it figured out but I need a little more time.

I think the about me part is going to take some time for me too. There is a lot to learn in this video but I am determined to get it done.

Where is your url? It is hard to review something without being able to access it. Sure Kyle can find it but he is pretty busy so make it easier for him.

Of course, thank you Helen, took my thinking cap off for a moment there.

myclothingneeds . siterubix . com

I think mine disappeared mid March!

Tried that and couldn't access it.

Why don't you put your link on your Profile page bottom right.

Watch out for too many spaces at the .s.

Hehe, I know what you mean. Aww thank you Helen, thank you so much. No matter how small the help may be it really does go a long way.

Well get a move on and put that link on your profile page! :>)

Smh... My mind is so caught up i forgot to go back to the advice you provided earlier, what am i like. Thank you. One more thing if i may. How do i exactly do that? Any attempt to do so, and im being told that i can not do such a thing as im not a premium member (yet)

Whoops, I should have noticed that! No it can't be done until you upgrade. Just remember to include it when you note problems you are having or if you want comments.

lol, well you did say you left your thinking cap back in March :) Thanks Helen

So true!

Hi Kleio,

I had trouble with that too then came to me. Think about how you talk to a friend about your business or even to an employer. How do you present yourself to them on why they should hire you. Your story, why you are here, show who you are. Well, I'm no expert but that is how I approached it and got it done. Don't stress. Just talk to us like here. To get to know you.
Hope that helps.

Best wishes,
Tiger

Don't worry too much about sticking to a template or anything - often the pressure of doing that can make it a bit more problematic than it needs to be... Just let it flow, explain about yourself, what made you arrive on this journey, what made you want to set up the niche website you have chosen etc... What are you hoping to achieve with it :)

Pretend you are just talking to a friend & explaining what you are doing, but type it out as the thoughts are coming into your head :)

Brittany, the template is only a guide. So far every template I have used ends up looking totally unlike it did when I started the articles.

If you are in doubt have a look at other people's sites and see how they went.

Is this what you did?

1. Create a custom menu in Appearance, Menu. The PP is a page so needs to be in a menu. Now I am going to assume you have already created a main menu. If not you better create one before you go any further; then
2. Click on Create a New Menu
3. Give it a Name. I was very creative. I called mine Footer 1!
4. Save it.
5. Then do a search for (say Privacy Policy) in either pages or posts.
6. Tick the box of the one you want in your menu.
7. Save
8. Go to widgets. With menu items I use the Navigation Menu. All the info here that I have found says use the Custom Menu but I don’t have this so experimentation led to this choice.
9. Drag the empty box over to the right and drop under either sidebar or one of the subfooters.
10. Click the down arrow beside it to open it up. When you open it up you type in your title and select the menu you want.
11. Then click save.

Thank you

Did anyone ever figure the problem out?

Yes I followed the instructions here and the next video was helpful too

Just for the privacy policy page

Hola Sergio perdona por no haberte respondido antes. Yo personalmente no utilizó el Site Content. Pero me acuerdo que cuando empecé lo utilizaba. Lo dejé de utilizar porque las mayorías de mis Sitios Web son en español y no me corrige el texto. Está bastante bien, es rápido. Pero cuando empieces a controlar un poco más rápido WordPress, entenderás lo que digo. Respecto a lo de Premium que comentas, si he entendido bien... dices que no te haces Premium porque para eso lo harías con un plugin. Los plugin buenos hay que comprarlos. Aquí en Premium no. Y hay miles que puedes utilizar. Yo te digo esto porque al principio pensaba lo mismo que tú. Aquí me están sacando todo el rato la palabra Premium. La cuestión es que si quieres dedicarte a esto... WA es el Sitio. Yo he dado muchas vueltas supongo que por lo que cuentas tu también. Mira a tu alrededor y dime si hay algo mejor. Harás lo mismo desde fuera y te gastarás más dinero. Aquí por lo menos tienes apoyo, creo que es lo más importante. Y recuerda por favor.... Es una opinión personal no me mal interpretes.
Respecto a la página Privacy Policy. Se pone en página no en post porque no quieres que nadie deje comentarios. Y si selecciona estas dos casillas el MONDEX y el NO FOLLOW. El primero es para que no salga en los motores de búsqueda y El Segundo para que los motores de búsqueda no sigan este link de tu página. Y deja en blanco la casilla que queda 'Disable'.
En 'about us page' déjalas en blanco.
Entiendo que al principio es un poco Liante. Paciencia amigo. Roma no se construyó en un día.

Saludos,

David.

If the current published page isn't showing the content, then it shouldn't be a duplicate content issue. You should be able to view on your WP site drafts you've saved without manually saving it (WP does this, check it).

But if you want to be completely safe, just write a new about me page.

In the left column of your WordPress back office - look for "All Pages" and "All Posts" - check under both of those to see if you can find the page or post that you lost.

I guess it's up to you really. You could create an 'about me' and 'about __ (sitename). Or you could just create a relatively brief 'about' page, that tells your visitors what you're site is about and why you created it etc-- and link out to more detailed articles about you. This way, you don't confuse your visitors or overwhelm them with lots of details, but you're still giving the people who want more info- more info.

That's my take anyways, hope it helps! Cheers

If you like you WA profile just link to it. Saves a page and rewriting stuff.

EI haven't gotten to the part in training about linking, but I do know whay it is. Good idea. Thanks

That's same thing came to my mind I mean promoting specific niche , don't know how necessary to write about myself ?

You're doing great so far Don. Keep up the good work, and take your time with the lessons :)

Hello Donald...
You sound like you are trucking along very well....keep going ....:)

Sophia Alvarez

thank you Sophia, how are doing so far? I hope everything is good for you.

Keep going Don. I just finished Lesson 7 and will begin on 8 tonight. Slowly but surely my friend.
Greetings from México.

To need to credit anything you use to its original creator but Youtube videos usually have that automatically embedded so you should be ok.

Hello Susie:
You should check the License under the video -click on show more and the License is at the end. If it is a Standard YouTube License I guess it is ok for you to use it my friend.
I hope this helps.
Eugenio.

@Loes
Did you try to insert your copied text from your keyboard with Ctrl + v buttons ?

I tried everything, with c+v, with the mouse, but I didn't like the rusult

Dear Debbie, I am having exactly the same issue. Did you manage to fix it?

No need to reply: I just found the solution in comments below. It seems many of us have had that issue.

Great I was just about to answer you but I'm glad you found the answer.

Hi Dennis, my understanding that you do not launch until you are ready. All the training thus far, as I am following along myself, we are still just seeing it ourselves, it is not launched as of yet.

Hi Miss Nielsen,

You don't need comments on your Privacy Policy page. You can turn them off. To turn comments off for that page, go to the Privacy Page Editor.

Click on "Screen Options" top right. This will open a menu at the top of the screen. Check "Discussion."

While still in the editor, scroll down to the Discussion box near the bottom of the page and uncheck "Allow Comments" and uncheck "Allow pingbacks etc."

Click "Update" to save changes.

Hi GV1,

thank you so much for taking the time to give me advice about this.
It was really helpful. I have now been able to turn the comments off for this page.

Kind regards,
Stine

I was struggling with this today and just found this comment! managed to turn the comments off now :) thank you

Hello jimkalke, your Privacy P. is the one you are going to put as your post. You can't receive comments on that. Your pg. is the one you get comments on the one that is about you. Clk pg before you publish it. Clk post for your PP. before you publish it.

its me again wanting to make sure I gave you the right ans. to that quest. :) Your PP is the Pg, and the about you will be your Post sorry about that.

I posted my privacy policy as a page a well, followed the instructions to check off the appropriate commands in site manager - but I too still see comments are displayed at the bottom of my privacy policy page. Is this just an Admin's view?

Hi,

You don't need comments on your Privacy Policy page. You can turn them off. To turn comments off for that page, go to the Privacy Page Editor.

Click on "Screen Options" top right. This will open a menu at the top of the screen. Check "Discussion."

While still in the editor, scroll down to the Discussion box near the bottom of the page and uncheck "Allow Comments" and uncheck "Allow pingbacks etc."

Click "Update" to save changes.

The About Me page is about you and your website. You can write a little about your background, why you want to help the world within the industry you chose. It's a welcoming message so that people will know what to expect and who you are. It is related to the niche you choose and related to your background and personality.

If you need help to create this page let me know.

The other question about the follow me templates is something I am not aware of. When I started here this Site Content platform did not exist. Try to ask this question in the live chat section. Many people will be glad to help you out.

It has answered my question. Thanks, @ATzortzis.

Congratulations, i really envy you. I just went through the training on creating initial website content and I'm already feeling overwhelmed by the thought of writing "about me".
I hope i can sail through this.

You so got this. Figuring out what me was a big problem. I simply told my story. Kyle is going to check it out for me and give me some pointers. Verdict is still out so far. I would love for you to check it out too. More input I can get the more likely I am to succeed. it is "simply 1 montanamamma siterubix .com." sorry I can't leave an actual web link. so squish it all together and hopefully that is correct.

I know what you mean. it's a good thing. All your hard work will pay off some day.

Hi
I'm no expert...at the moment.
But I had a problem signing in to my account a few days ago.
The solution that worked for me was changing my browser from Chrome to Mozilla Fox. Since then no problem signing in. I know it's not the same as your temporary problem but maybe try loging in from a diffrent browser to the one you maybe using and see whether that helps.

It was for me too so I pause the video, go take care of that part come back and watch some more video etc. Till I get through the entire video. Worked great for me

That is very simple. Just follow this training which will help you to take out or put comment section in any pages or posts:- Removing the Comments Section from Your Disclaimer Pages

Thanks DeRaj, that helped!

don't worry myscm2yours we are all in the same boat,i'm having the same problem with my about me page

For now, I just removed it.
