Hi @Festinger

Any thoughts about Interserver hosting? I see they are really cheap

Thanks

 

[Perrybeard82]

@Festinger real noob question but seriously can't find the setting to do it. Get this message
Ad unit is too small, vi stories is not working on your site.

The minimum vi stories unit size is 336x280px.
Please insert the tag into a bigger unit.

But can't work out how to change the ads of size? Any help would be appreciated

If you delete images in your media library will it also delete them on the posts you you used them on?

From experience this will unlink the images in post hence they will not appear

how to post own-hosted streaming videos on wordpress from a CDN, like I store a video on a cdn and want to post on wordpress with a "play" button? If that's possible, then further, how to add in-video ads like it is on YouTube.....?

In what format would you like to display the video on WordPress? Your most cheapest solution would be to order a JetPack subscription: https://jetpack.com/features/design/video-hosting/
And host unlimited videos using their CDN (unlimited disk space) - I have used this combination in the past and it's working great.

I don’t know if this has to do much with wordpress. There are a couple of Google maps plugins for Wordpress that offer pins and detailed information that you can integrate into world maps on your website. But first I kinda need an api key for google maps. You know if you can bypass these api keys?

API keys cannot by bypassed.

I would love to know what is the best host to host a blog (wordpress) I'm on bluehost now and I hear some bad things about them, not sure what to do.

I have answered this question earlier, please check here:

Hello,

Can you please try the new SEO plugin named Rank Math, which is getting raving reviews by its users as it offers more features than even the premium version of top SEO plugins, and share your insights?

Thank you

I already tried this plugin and shared my experiences here:

Why don't you downgrade to the Classic Editor?

Any tips on increasing backlinks with WP? Ive got a legitimate website, great UI/UX, with great unique content but not getting any visits at all.

Getting backlinks is a different cup of tea, this question is not directly related to WordPress.

Is there a way to stop redirects from embed videos other than Ken Player/Clean Tube Player? Thank you!

What redirects are you exactly talking about?

Yesterday I found my website could not open the homepage normally and the domain name was redirected to an unknown site.
But I can still log in WordPress Dashboard.
Finally I destroyed my vps...
Is there a bug in wordpress or something else?
Thank you

That's strange behaviour. I would contact your host and ask for the error_logs to check what plugin, theme or other issue is causing this behaviour.

They are not spam visits, thats the issue. It is all Facebook traffic from a big page. I cannot handle more than 700 live visits.
Anyway, I had to cancel using it and created my own app using ExpressJS, so far so good, but I still receive Error 500.
The only time when I stopped receiving this issue is when I add Load Balancing using AWS. (Elastic Beanstalk)

Ah I see. You should be able to upgrade your hosting package and/or optimise your website to reduce the load balancing?

Any plugins you've used for A/B split testing?

Yes, I have used this plugin: https://neliosoftware.com/testing/features/

What is the best woocommerce bitcoin payment gateway?

I want to know how you manage to use image on your WordPress site without slowing down your website loading time.

Is they any good places for hosting image in thirty party website to save my host space and improve the loading time.

What I mean is that I don't want to upload image to my real hosting server, how and where could I host my image to be inserting into post.


I we appreciate your help and support

Use a CDN and make sure to upload all static files to your CDN environment. Also, image optimising using the following plugin must help you:

Thank you for this opportunity. Please how can I optimize the speed of my site? I get very low report when I check my site speed with Google Site Speed. I have tried optimizing as much as i can but still not improved as i want. Can you help me optimize my site further for better speed especially in relation to renderblocking JS and browser cache. I use a good cache plugin though, try as much to optimize the images. I can share the url with you. Thank you very much

Sorry, this topic is only meant to answer questions, but optimising a website is not as simple as that. What plugins are you using to improve the speed of your website?

Thank you so much for this post! What is a fair price to integrate a wordpress blog to a shopify store (such as "blog.asdfafa.com".

I was wondering what potential pitfalls one would have to watch out for when integrating a wordpress blog into Shopify. I'm not sure if this question is clear, but I'm concerned that I could get the wordpress blog installed, and then when I make changes to my Shopify store theme it would be a massive hassle to change my wordpress blog. Or common issues that I should watch out for when combining these two. Thanks!

Do you want a blog installed on a subdomain or link your Shopify users with WordPress? If it's only installation a blog on a subdomain, make sure to choose a connecting theme, based on your Shopify store. Installing WordPress can be done within 5 minutes, but adjusting your blog's theme can be time consuming.

Another question about WP auto-blogs.....is their way any I can just put a keyword and decent formatted spun posts will auto-matically be posted?

like i buy a domain called, fishingguide.com and put keyword "fishing guides"....then the plugin will automatically scrape, spin and post articles related to fishing.....

Yeah, I have used WP Robot for this in the past. A GREAT tool!

@Festinger - your generosity and willingness to share is very much appreciated by me and many others. Thank you!

• You mentioned you aren't a coder, what are your thoughts and wordpress themes/tools like Divi and others (https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/best-drag-and-drop-page-builders-for-wordpress/
  • They make page building newbie friendly - are there downsides?

[BlueBuzzy]

Hey @Festinger, I have a couple questions...

1) I am using one of your themes from the private storage. Was thinking whether it's better to purchase the exact same theme from the developers (basically pay for it on themeforest)? Would it be faster/more secure? What are the percs of paying when there are tons of nulled premium themes? Want to know that you are thinking...

2) Can't open the menu in my website mobile version for some reason, could it be because of the theme itself or because of it been nulled? When I tap on it on my phone, literally nothing happens. Other themes work fine...

By the way it's Brixton Theme that I am using!

Thank you for your help, sir, helping the community out a ton!
