Ah, sorry. So you’d like to put a piece on code into your content area to generate a dropdown menu. In WordPress, the built-in menus features is limited to areas designated by the theme as menus or widget areas, and can’t be embedded in a content area like that. I did a quick search to see if anyone had written a plugin that does what you’re trying, but couldn’t find one. You might need to branch out from WordPress pluginss and find an example of the dropdown style you want using JavaScript, and then write the code for your embedded menu that way.

If anyone reading this knows of another way to achieve what @thirdofnine is trying to do, please chime in!

Okay, so none of that comes with WordPress, and would be controlled by a plugin, but you don’t mention which plugin you are currently using for your newsletter.

1. Downloading a stats report isn’t a very common feature in stats plugins I’ve tried, they seemed to be geared more toward viewing online. This one https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-statistics/ has a built in stats export feature, but this is just a stats plugin, it doesn’t power a newsletter.
If you’re using Jetpack, they don’t have an export feature, but if you are a developer or have one that works with you, you could put something together using the API. This function: https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/master/modules/stats.php#L1157-L1239

2. Neither Jetpack nor Google Analytics are mailing list services in the sense that you are describing. The ‘newsletter’ in Jetpack is really just a nice-looking post notification, not a true mailing list. For that level of newsletter analysis, you’d need to use a service like Mailchimp and/or a plugin that is specifically used for newsletters (again, knowing what you are using currently would be helpful). Here are the free newsletter plugins available on www.ads-software.com: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search.php?q=newsletter They all have different feature sets, so it would be up to you to decide if there’s one that has the combination you need. Some have stats export built in, some have it as a pro feature, some don’t have it at all, and other have it but only tied to a paid service on their website.

3. The answer to #3 is the same as the answer to #2.

Basically, it sounds like you want pretty advanced mailing list features, which isn’t a WordPress core feature. You’re really looking for an advanced newsletter service, so I would suggest checking out the plugins at the list above to see if there’s one that has the advanced features you want at a price you’re comfortable with.

Hi there. This would require a plugin, but I’m not certain which type to recommend, because it sound like you could be describing either content restriction or 2-factor authentication.

If you are talking about 2-factor authentication, you can see plugins that handle this here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search.php?type=term&q=2fa

If you are talking about simply hiding content, you can look at some of the features offered by some of the membership plugins available in our free directory here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search.php?type=term&q=members

Hope this helps!

You can create an internal whitelist for this. Instructions here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Embeds#How_Can_I_Add_or_Change_Support_For_Websites.3F

If it’s a service you think more WordPress users would benefit from having on the core whitelist, you can submit a patch with your code to the core team to consider for inclusion in an upcoming WordPress update at core.trac.www.ads-software.com.

It sounds like this plugin might do what you need: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/content-progress/ and it was written by a member of the www.ads-software.com Accessibility team, so it should be pretty good. There are a lot of other editorial flow plugins, though, so if that one doesn’t have what you want, you can browse through the related offerings in our free plugin directory here: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tags/editorial

Hope this helps!

Can you share the URLs for the regular PDF and the editable PDF, (and the page they are linked from)?

Hi there. I just checked your site and since I see dropdown menus, it seems that you figured this one out on your own. Could you confirm that this has been resolved?

There are two ways you could do this.

1. Use a plugin, install it on both sites, give the splash screen the same template, etc. A bunch of splash screen plugins are available in our free directory at https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tags/splash-page
I would choose one of the ones with a high number of active installs and a high rating.

2. Hand-code an index page for each site with the splash page you want outside of WordPress, and change the Site Address (URL) in your WordPress installs (Settings > General) so that they don’t live the base domain is home but at a different page.

Either of those should work, but using a plugin would probably be easier.

Hi there. If you have access to the hosting account, then you can reset your password using phpMyAdmin, which you would access through your GoDaddy dashboard. There are instructions on how to do this here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Resetting_Your_Password#Through_phpMyAdmin

Good luck!

Hi there! When I go to that site, and click on the arrow on the video on the home page (why the UN doesn’t have a president), it starts playing and does not take me to a new page. Since it’s been 2 weeks since you posted this, it’s possible you found the issue and resolved it on your own, or it’s possible that that something is happening to you that just isn’t happening when I try to access it. Can you confirm whether you are still having this problem or not?

We don’t have official plugins for banner ads, so your best bet for plugins it to see what’s available and look at the ones with the most active installs and the highest ratings. Here are the plugins associated with banner ads in the www.ads-software.com free plugin directory: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/search.php?q=banner+ad

However, I looked at the source code of dreamdictionarynow.com, and they are not using a plugin for banner ads, they are using Google AdSense, and have inserted the Google AdSense code into their template, rather than using a plugin.

When you say you tried to edit the header and footer files you say it didn’t work, but didn’t say what happened exactly. Did it not let you edit the files (side note: you generally would want to create a child theme rather than editing theme files if it’s not a custom theme, because if the theme gets updated, it could overwrite your edits), or was it saving but not showing up on your site? If you can provide the steps you used and a description of what happened, it would be easier to help you troubleshoot.

Hi there. If you are using woocommerce and zstore together, it’s possible that one of them has a conflict with either the new version of WordPress or with each other (possibly that only became apparent after something changed in the last core update). It would be best for you to post to the support forums specifically for those forums and see if either of them can help you.

You can submit support requests for a specific plugin from the Support tab on their listing in the www.ads-software.com plugin directory. I’ve grabbed the links for you for the support links for these two plugins:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/zstore-manager-basic

https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/woocommerce

Hi there. You are asking for two different features in this thread.

1. Log in with facebook. This is not something that can be done with the core WordPress application, but there are some plugins that would enable this. You could try this one: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-facebook-login/

2. Allow people to submit draft content to your site.
You can allow people to register to be contributors on your site with your basic WordPress installation. This would allow them to log in and create posts for your approval to be published. The limitation is that they can’t upload files, so by default they couldn’t include videos, images, etc unless they were embedding them using inks from other sites rather than actual uploads. To do this, go to Settings > General in your wp-admin, and about halfway down the screen you’ll see:
Membership [] Membership Anyone can register

Check this box, then just below it where it says:
New User Default Role
choose Contributor from the dropdown menu.
Scroll down and click the blue button to Save Changes.

3. Then, if you want to allow your contributors to upload actual files, you would need a plugin to do that. There are a number of plugins that would allow you to do this, you basically want a roles and capabilities plugin such as https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/user-roles-and-capabilities/ or https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/capability-manager-enhanced/.

Put all three of those together and you should get what you’re looking for!

Hi there! I went to your site and I see the video on the home page (drawing male figures) with a play button, not a black box. Can you confirm if you are still having this problem, or if the issue is resolved?

You can make a site that looks like this with WordPress, but you would need a theme that is set up with that type of display. To get something exactly like kyliejenner.com you would need to write a custom theme. If you want a free theme that is not exactly like that but is more like that than your default theme, I would do a search for magazine themes. Here’s one I found in the free directory here on www.ads-software.com: https://www.ads-software.com/themes/travel-stories/

Again, this is not just like kylijenner.com, and if you want that exact style you will need to write custom theme code/css to make it look the way you want it to.

Hope this helps!
