I’m thinking it has something to do with a plugin. If you look at the source code, that last paragraph is wrapped in a div instead of p tags. Try deactivating all the plugins. If that fixes the issue, activate them one by one until you find the culprit.

The 3 ads look like ads to me plus it says “google ads” above them and there’s a line separating them from the search results. Perhaps I don’t understand your issue?

After spending half a day on your site, i still don’t even know what word press does! Are you a web host? someone to buy a domain name from? software to design a website?

If you don’t know what it does, why are you freaking out? It can’t be very important if you have no idea what it’s for. What it is, however, is a CMS (content management system) to build websites.

wordpress.com = Hosted for you. You create an account, log in, and start blogging. You cannot edit themes and have to choose from the limited themes available.

www.ads-software.com = You purchase a domain and hosting, download the WP software by clicking the link at the top right of this page, and follow the very easy instructions (which are included) to install it.

Yes…It would be easy if you understand SQL, HTML,URL, mapping, redirecting, hosting, etc.

It IS easy. Takes a few minutes to install and you can start blogging right away but yes, if you want anything other than the vanilla default theme, you’ll have to learn these things. If you don’t want to learn about those things you should use WP.com. If you use them you can ask questions at their forums here.

I thought I could just choose a theme and ACTIVATE. NOT! There are tabs missing in dashboard. But the tabs are displayed in your directions and on directions posted on youtube!

Choose a theme from where? What tabs? Have you already installed WP or created an account at WP.com even though you have no idea what it’s for? You’re making no sense. You don’t know what it is and yet you have a dashboard?

I had to find out on youtube that the tabs will be missing until you pay for something.

No idea what you’re talking about. WordPress is free software.

WordPress support is non existant because it is as cryptic as the main instructions.

WordPress is supported by volunteers on these forums.

Instructions state click here to install wordpress, but it opens a new explorer tab with code!

Instructions for what? In Fantastico? Where are these instructions?

Then it says upload it all. What is “it”? and where and how do i upload “it”?

The WordPress files. To your webhost using an FTP client.

In my humble opinion…wordpress sucks.

How do you know it sucks since you don’t even know what it is or what it’s used for?

Just an observation… if you’d clicked the “about” link at the top of the page, it tells you in the first paragraph what WordPress is.

How do I avoid this in the future?

“Save draft” what you’re writing as you go :o)

Is it in a widget?

Most likely it’s because the page “menu” is still in the trash and therefore you can’t make a new page called “menu”. It’s naming it menu-2. Permanently delete the trashed pages and then you’ll be able to create a new page called “menu”.

WordPress installation is extremely simple if you have even the barest knowledge of FTP, file structure, etc. Why would you be rude to US because you obviously don’t and didn’t bother to do some research?

Do you mean you want to modify the theme you’re using? If so you can either login to the admin panel and edit from there or edit the files locally on your comp and FTP them to the site. From the way you described your question however, I think it IS at wordpress.com in which case you’d need to post at the forums there.

Ahhhhh. TY for the info. Learn something new every day :o)

What button where? What’s a csv file?

Ah yes! Dub P’s!

Maybe we could spell out WP and be Woops. Heh.

I don’t see any errors?

A link to the website would be helpful ;o)

Did you delete it permanently from the trash? If not, try that.
