I’m new to wordpress and I need help creating an author page with a breadcrumb like this: dailyglobe.com/author/patricia-david. How do I create a category under pages for “author” and names of different authors under “author” category?
Thank you.
]]>It doesn’t offer all of the features of other newsletter services, but it is a free plugin and newsletter functionality is included with their free plan: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/jetpack/
Most newsletter providers can’t send that volume of email for free. That’s why your hosting provider won’t support it either.
For other WordPress-integrated third-parties, check out https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/mailpoet/ and https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/newsletter/ (this one doesn’t offer mailer services, but integrates with several full third-party providers)
Or, use a full third-party, like these:
All five offer different pricing structures and features, so if Jetpack doesn’t work for you, you’ll need to find the best fit for your business.

I wondered if anyone can recommend any good software to use. Obviously that is a hight amount of subscribers so things like Mailchimp would cost a fortune. Are there any free places out there that would allow me to send that many emails daily?
Thanks!

There is no error being entered in to the log.
I have switched to twenty twenty four, and desabled every plugin, but still the problem.
Anyone else having this problem?

Siteground is counting “hits” to your website. That includes human visitors… but that also includes a lot of bots, including even things like search engine bots crawling your site.
Statscounter is a “hit counter” just like Siteground’s stats, except they make every effort to discount hits from known bots. But they obviously cannot know and discount all bots!
Google Analytics (enabled by Monster Insights), on the other hand, is a JavaScript counter. This means they can only count stats where JavaScript is available…. which automatically excludes most bots. But his also means any human visitors who has JavaScript disabled in their browser will not be counted.
By and large, a JavaScript-based analytics tool should give you the closest indicator of human activity on your site. And if you’re going to sell advertising space on your site (or you want to sell your site!), this is the only kind of stats your partners will want to see.
Whichever tool you use, focus on the month-to-month trends, and not the absolute numbers.
Good luck!
]]>The only truly accurate stats left are in the server access log, which can’t be blocked, because it’s only tracking what the server does.
Server-side analyzers like https://www.awstats.org , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_(program) , or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webalizer can help visualize that, but they’re also far more limited than stats services like Google Analytics, Monster Insights, Jetpack, and StatCounter.
Most hosting providers offer one of the three, but it looks like SiteGround only offers their own log anylizer: https://www.siteground.com/kb/find-websites-visitor-stats/
I recommend using that to get a real picture of your total traffic, but for a more nuanced look, and especially to filter out bots from humans, you should also use a third-party stats service, like Google Analytics, Monster Insights, Jetpack, or StatCounter.
