Hi @azadani,

Using images that are linked to Imgur is absolutely fine.

To expand images on click: https://www.screencast.com/t/EIWx0Hbr6y (Follow the instructions in this image). Please note that how your images will expand or open will largely depend on the Theme you’re using on your website. Some premium themes have dynamic effects and more options.

To insert a read more button in your posts (After first paragraph or anywhere): https://www.screencast.com/t/FPN2rXlK5

I hope this helps. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have more queries.

PS: I apologize for the late response. I was away for a few days.

Hi @azadani,

Welcome to WordPress!

Google’s algorithm ranks websites on specific keyword based on a number of different criteria.

If your website’s title is a competitive keyword/phrase, then thousands of other websites are competing to rank in the top ten for the same word/keyword/phrase. So if your website is not very popular, the possibility of showing up in the top 10 on Google Search for a moderately competitive keyword without best SEO practices is almost close to zero.

I’d suggest you to keep adding quality content on your website & promoting it through social media and other platforms. Eventually, it will get indexed by Google.

You can also notify Google to index your website by adding your website to Google Search Console: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en

Also, make sure that you’re not discouraging Search Engines to index your website.

Go to your WP Dashboard, then Settings>Reading. Scroll down to the bottom and make sure “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” checkbox is UNCHECKED.

Hope this helps. I wish you all the best with your new blog!

Hi @tglassy,

Can you post a screenshot of your Admin Dashboard?

From your description of WP Dashboard, it looks like you do not have administrative privilege. Most probably, your user role has been downgraded from “Admin” to “Subscriber.” That’s why you have limited access to the website and unable to update WordPress.

I’d be able to help you fix this if I could see a screenshot of your dashboard.

Hi @toneb,

Pages generated through LeadPages will not be affected by a change of Theme.

However, pages you created in WordPress will be affected.

It is always better to take a backup of your website before making any major changes.

Hope this helps.

Hey @firstlucky3,

The Internal Server Error most likely occurs due to a corrupted “.htaccess” file.

Take a backup of your current .htaccess file and then replace your current “.HTACCESS” file with the following code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

This post might help you further investigating the issue and fix it:

Let me know if the problem still persists after you have tried all the possible solutions.

Hi @sounds,

The free version of “Paid Membership Pro” plugin should be able to fulfill all your requirements.

I wish you all the best for your website!

Hi @hayleyasimpson,

The easiest way to solve this would be to do a fresh installation of WordPress and reinstall the plugins you’re having problems with.

Do you have access to CPANEL or FTP on your web host?

1. Please login to your CPanel and go to your Files Manager.
2. Then backup your WP Database and wp-content folder.
3. Do a fresh installation of WordPress.
4. Restore Database and wp-content folder.

Regards,

Hi @themakeupbook,

It’s probably happening because a home page and a blog page has not yet been set for your website.

From your WP Dashboard, go to Settings>Reading and then set a home page and a blog page.

Once it’s done, set up Yoast again and the website should load your preferred title and description.

Another point to note here is that if you set a homepage and then redirect it to a different page, Google will crawl the page it’s redirecting to, not the home page. So you must set your preferred title and description to the final page, not the one from which you’re redirecting traffic.

Hope this helps!

Hi hayleyasimpson,

Are you running the latest version of WordPress? Have you tried updating all the plugins and WordPress Core?

Also, have you tried resetting your permalinks?

Simply go to Settings>Permalinks on your WP Dashboard. Change the Permalinks to Default and click save.

I’ll be able to assist you further once you provide me with this information.

Best of luck!
