www.remarpro.com v WordPress.com

  • I have already posted my message on another part of the forum, but did not receive a reply. PLEASE HELP!

    I am totally confused! I set up a self-hosted site on WordPress.com (https://www.stopsleepapneatoday.com – however when I go into it, there is no dashboard, just the blogs that I transferred from Blogspot.com a while back.

    I was about to add a plugin and do some work to the site (I have been very sick for a while and not been on the computer for nearly a month), but there is nothing to work with.

    It is suggesting I go to www.remarpro.com to build the site and go through a self-hosting company where the www.remarpro.com site can be downloaded instantly, but I have already done that. I am hosted through Hostgator, and downloaded WordPress.com from there.

    I hope someone can explain what I am doing wrong, and if so, give me step by step instructions on what to do.

    I have already got another site built through WordPress.com and never had this problem, all the interface/dashboard etc was already there.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Hi Despina,

    You seem to have a bit of confusion on the terms used. You might want to start from here and see if that helps you.

    Hi Pothi,

    Thanks for your reply. I have read the ‘wordpress’ over, but it still doesn’t answer my problem.

    I am using my site on WordPress ? .com/.org to promote products as an affiliate marketer, and as far as I am aware you are not allowed to post affiliate links on wordpress.com sites!!

    Can you have a look at my site again and see what you think. As far as I am concerned I am doing it through wordpress.com self-hosted, but when I click on my site it is just like a blog site and there is no dashboard to help me build my site. It has me really confused as I said before, I already have another site I built through wordpress.com and all the extras that I needed for plugins, SEO etc were there.

    If I was to do it through www.remarpro.com does it have the SEO pack, plugins etc.

    What to keep in mind is that I need to put a link on the home page to link up with my affiliate product.

    See what you think and let me know. I appreciate your help very much.

    My site address is https://www.stopsleepapneatoday.com

    Look forward to hearing from you to enable me to move forward.

    Thanks again.

    Never occurred to me that, so I would recommend that you seek the opinion of a technician, because I would not like to give bad advice and bring you more errors. Because if you are doing a big job is important not to touch a lot and let someone who knows more. Well I hope someone can help you a bit more in this forum.
    Greetings.

    If I was to do it through www.remarpro.com does it have the SEO pack, plugins etc.

    By default, no. But, there are a lot of plugins available to do these.

    You can install any of the plugins from https://www.stopsleepapneatoday.com/wp-admin/plugin-install.php

    You’ll be asked to login, if not done yet.

    I am totally confused! I set up a self-hosted site on (https://www.stopsleepapneatoday.com – however when I go into it, there is no dashboard

    To access the dashboard and to install the plugins, please login to your site at https://www.stopsleepapneatoday.com/wp-login.php or https://www.stopsleepapneatoday.com/wp-admin/

    Once you logged in, you’ll be able to insert any links, as the dashboard should look almost like what you see in your other site at wordpress.com.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Pothi,

    I have logged in under the url you suggested, and YES, it has the dashboard, thank goodness. So is this where I can build a complete site or just a blog?

    I have another question, perhaps you can answer, is it possible to have just a blog which can take affiliate links? When they refer to a blog (I have done plenty of them, but just short comments), if you made it with decent content about your affiliate product, can you insert a link to your affiliate site, and if you are able to add the affiliate link, where would I go to create the blog – www.remarpro.com or WordPress.com? One of these days I will finally be able to understand all this, but there is so much to learn to get you started.

    One of the things that bothers me is, if I wanted to promote different products, I would need to get a new domain name for whichever niche I am promoting + hosting, so it could work out quite costly if I promoted a number of products – unfortunately my income is minimal as I am unable to work due to long term illness, so I have to think about outlay all the time.

    If you wanted to create a number of products within the same niche, ie health – what would be the best way to do this – a blog, a landing page or whatever. If it was a blog you wouldn’t have any extras like SEO or plugins built in would you. Do you actually need SEO for a blog or landing page. Am I right in saying that a landing page is only one page, ie your ‘home’ page of a website where your visitors would arrive at if they clicked on your link. Can you create a landing page (one) to promote an affiliate product – this would cut down the length of time used creating the page (long or short), than creating a full website with say 5/6 pages + posts which I have at the moment. I am not being lazy, it is just the time factor, as I am unable to sit at the computer for more than 2 hours at a time.

    I am sorry to bombard you with all these questions, but it would make such a difference if you could answer them and then I can actually get started doing more promotions. Believe it or not I have read so many PDFs and watched all the videos going, that my head feels like it is going to burst. I like to print off my PDFs and over the last few months I have used nearly 3 packs of A4 paper.

    As a matter of interest, how did you know what url to use that gave me access to the full WordPress dashboard. I know I gave you my url, but how do you know about the extra bit, ie wp-login etc, etc. When I type in https://stopsleepapneatoday.com, why does it not take me to the complete WordPress site?

    I had better stop now, I have quite a few unanswered questions yet, but these are my main concern.

    Thank you so much for your help, it is much appreciated.

    The above link is the best place to start.

    For the URL: any WordPress site with default installation will have this URL structure such as https://anydomain.com/wp-login.php or https://anydomain.com/wp-admin. For example, you can go to the sites at WordPress Showcase and can see that most sites have this structure.

    For affiliate links: I’m sorry, I hardly have any experience with the affilate links. So, I can’t answer anything in that subject.

    hello,
    I have an existing account with wordpress.com and am wanting to switch it to www.remarpro.com. I am currently hosted through dreamhost, is this an easy thing to do? thanks!

    is this an easy thing to do?

    It depends. Please see, if you are familiar with moving a blog. If you couldn’t understand any particular point or if you need any help on the way, you are always welcome to post your question here (probably in a separate thread). If those instructions are hard to understand and if you are willing to pay for the services, please check out the guided transfer from WordPress.com.
