   Could someone tell me where Wordpress support lives? Due to some kind of error, I’ve been locked out of my account since I purchased it. I have all my proper receipts (Paypal, Wordpress confirmation email etc) but am recieving error messages on every account recovery form. I’ve tried every method of contact I was able to find online, spaced out over the course of a month. It’s super frustrating, and I would be grateful for a nudge in any direction. Thanks

   a. What code do I insert into the correct file?

   b. & where in the file do I put it?

   I had a young man build a WordPress site for our church, and he did give me some training on how to maintain it. I however cannot seem to get anything done on it. Just changing text or pictures in some of the slideshows seems to be beyond my ability to do. Are there people who are basically on retainer for people like me, to make changes when needed for a reasonable monthly cost? We don’t make a lot of changes, but need them done when we want them to be. My site got created around Easter and so that message is still on my page. It is now approaching Christmas and I would like to update it but can’t seem to recall how to do it, and the person who built it is not available to help me.

   Thanks,

   Ron

     Hi Ron,

     There are many freelancing websites like Upwork, Freelancer, and Fiverr. You can find WordPress developers there that can help you make changes to your website at reasonable rates.

     Meanwhile, we will recommend you to keep trying. There is a slight learning curve but once you get past this, you will be able to manage your website without paying anyone. WordPress is used by millions of users and most of its userbase consists of non-techy people who are managing their own websites without much difficulty.

   I need a little help. I need to know where to access the code on my home page, to fix the bottom of the middle row. Here is my site: you can easily see what I need to clean up. I have fixed it in the customize Crockett Coon Cap page, but that’s not the real page. I can’t save it from there. Where do I find the code to fix it? I can edit all the other pages, and the side bars on my home page, but not the center column. It’s not in appearance, edit.

    Not a plug-in question, but a sidebar/menu question. Already asked the WP user forum here at UW, and they weren’t able to help. If this isn’t in your bailiwick, that’s fine, but i thought I’d ask.

    I created a custom menu and sidebar and for some reason it appears twice in the RH sidebar. I’ve double-checked and, no, I didn’t create two of the same sidebars, so how did the duplicate happen, and how do I get rid of it?

    Thanks!

    hi there
    i want to build a site with wordpress using plugins etc just like the following examples

    i understand the in depth features / database structure of the above examples
    is it possible to do this via wordpress if so what plugins would you recommend or what is the best way for me to approach this

    i am familiar with wordpress and in the past i have done a few e-commerce sites, but doing something as complex as the above examples is out of my league or might not be

    please advise thank you

      It depends on what features you will need and how you will be implementing them. You can make a list of features that you will need and then use Google search to find plugins that can add those features.

    So I’ve been all over searching for help and it is very hard to find. Based on what I’ve read, I understand why WP may detest questions and as a result they made sure it will be hell to get in contact with them directly

    My site has been down („This site cannot be found“ message) and I contacted my host and was referred back to WP, went to the forums and saw that I have to speak with my domain registrar directly – and now that’s another problem, because how? I’m so overwhelmed.

    Can anyone shed some light? Please! I would be so grateful.

    I am about to give up entirely, although I have 4 WP.con blogs that I have been running very successfully. Now I am stumped on my latest, and what will be, I believe, my most important blog.
    It is „The Seventh Tango“

    Everything was going along great until, somehow, I inadvertently labeled it as „private,“ rather than „public.“ So now, when I go there, I am informed that „the owner“ has made it private, so I am asked to enter the user name and password. Well, I screwed up somehow and gave the wrong password. And there I remain stuck. I have created new passwords two or three times, and none of them work. I’m sure I am doing upteen things wrong, but I am, well, old, and my hands get shakier, the more I try.

    End of story.

    I don’t to want to create a custom menu.
    I don’t want to create a new menu item. I simply want to know how to change an existing link that takes a user somewhere when a menu item is clicked.

      It seems like your menu is set to automatically display any new pages you create. You can easily change that by manually creating a navigation menu. Make sure that the box next to ‚Auto add pages‘ is unchecked. After that only the pages you add to the menu will appear in menu.

    Hi – I hope this is the right place to seek advice. I’m trying to launch this website:

    While building the site, I had my Visibility set to „Discourage search engines from indexing the site.“ A few days ago I changed that to „Allow search engines to index this site.“ But now trying to Google the site by name, „Los Papeles de Joaquin Saura“ or just by „Joaquin Saura“ doesn’t find it. If I type the full web address, or just , the site comes does come up, but in a very unsatisfactory way. The google search result says:

    joaquin saura – WordPress.com
    joaquinsaura.wordpress.com/ – Translate this page
    A description for this result is not available because of this site’s robots.txt – learn more.

    The „robots.txt“ link was completely unintelligible to me. I read the „learn more,“ but I still don’t know what I need to do to (1) add descriptive information for the search result and (2) get the site to come up in searches properly in the first place.

    Thanks for any help. You’re welcome to go in and poke around.

      Removing the option Discourage search engines from indexing the site will allow search engines to index your site. Sometimes it may take them a while to properly display your site in search results. Robots.txt is a special file which is used to tell search engines how to index your site. You can find it in your site’s root folder.

    Hi! I’ve been using wordpress for my non-profit organization for a couple of years now. Two days ago I updated a few plug-ins and the site crashed. I deactivated all plug-ins and slowly was able to get the site up (more or less), by activating plug-ins one by one in order to find the updates that were causing the crash. However, now that the site is back up, I am unable to publish new pages. I can save drafts and preview the new pages with no problem. But when I go to publish them, the small round „clock“ icon starts to turn, but the pages never publish and the icon never finishes „turning“. Any suggestions on what I could do? Thanks in advance.

      Most likely due to a missing closing tag in HTML or PHP. Take a look at different template files in your theme. Press CTRL+F to search for ‚page content‘ and see if you are missing closing an HTML or PHP tag around it. Backup your theme before you make any changes to it.

    It is not recommended to edit plugins because when a newer version of plugin comes it will replace your changes.

    Oh my Gosh I love this post!!!! I have a blog with tons of free WordPress Video Tutorials and so people often ask me questions.

    Most people are very respectful and thankful. Nobody has been negative so far (because I do not have as many blog followers as you do and have not been around as long as you have). However, it would be nice if people would realize that they can get their questions answered much more accurately by the person who actually designed the free theme or plugin they are using.

    And while people have always been respectful in asking for my help, it would really help me if they gave me as much information as possible about their site / problem and tried to troubleshoot the problem themselves, so I can more quickly zero in on the problem myself.

    As my list of blog followers grows, I can see more of these issues arising as more and more people seek out my help online. I will be referring them to this blog post.

    P.S. I used to work on the phone in customer service many years ago. People that were nice to me got great service. I would make an extra effort to solve their problem. People that acted like condescending asshats — not so much. LOL
