Thank you so much for your message. I will contact Siteground as I will not be able to do that without messing something up. I was hoping someone like me might be able to resolve it ??

Really appreciate you taking the time to reply ??

Thanks I will look into that

Hello Eva

Thank you so much for your reply. I just checked the post slug in my wordpress admin area and it is under the post name that I changed to but the url when you reach the page via google is still the original post name.

I don’t actually remember changing or even inputting a post ‘slug’ to be honest. I will try what you have suggested and let you know how I get on if you don’t mind.

Thanks and have a nice weekend.

Hello Anne

Thank you so much for your replies. Hopefully at some point in the future I will be able to help others.
I thought that I should place the posts on my website but couldn’t understand how to categorise them under the ‘blog category’. I tried to do this by clicking on the right hand side under the category option with my first post but nothing happened. I think I created ‘blog’ initially as a ‘page’and when I tried to categorise retrospectively, I couldn’t do it.
I wanted the category ‘blog’to appear at the top of the page but not worked out how to do that. As I add more posts over time I thought that this would be the best way going forward, but starting off with the generic category blog!
If you get time to answer would appreciate that and no rush ?? if you are busy thanks for your tips up to now.
Regards
Gordon

I have now added ‘blog’ to my site as a category and think I have worked it out but just need to work out how to tidy it up and gradually make the site look better. Any comments are really appreciated though ??

Hello Anne

Very kind of you to offer to help and it’s much appreciated. I have now deleted the page ‘blog’ and think possibly because it’s a page that was the reason why I couldn’t put posts in there.
I did make an extra category for blog originally as I had seen on other blogs how you could click on ‘blog’ and then the different posts would show and be clickable but gave up when I couldn’t work it out and reverted to the action I took which I explained in the first paragraph.
I would still be grateful if you have any ideas but I accept I am still learning and know very little about wordpress, but hey it’s a journey and what I find difficult now, I will hopefully find easy in six months or a years time!
I am now having issues with uploading a featured post and the way it sits on the page and how to position it and how to get clear photos on my blog. I have changed the header image for the site and also used the same image as a featured image in my only post.
Please let me know what you think if you have time and I assume I will have to use plug ins to place photos and text where I want. I will get there….and thank you so much for your reply. The website (it’s still a baby) is https://www.clumsytraveler.com

Hello and thanks

I will have to try and find that as I cannot see that anywhere. I have since deleted my about page and started again and the same thing is happening and I cannot see anywhere in the wp admin area where you can format the font style and size.

I am probably missing something but if you can help it’s much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Ross
Many thanks for your reply. I think I will take your initial advice as I am a complete novice and am learning from you tube videos etc.
I am sure there are easier ways of building a website but I fancy ‘having a go’.
Once again thank you and I am sure I will be asking further questions, some perhaps ridiculously simple, but it’s a little challenge for me!
