?? Dang, I’m going to be doing a lot of copy/paste/delete for the next month!

Such is life…

I understand now, and won’t be putting anything on the schedule unless it’s ready to post.

My question is this: Is there ANY WAY to undo the mistake I made in dragging things to dates when I hoped to work on them and publish, but didn’t get to it? I have some that are still unfinished, yet they’re posted. I deleted the calendar (planning to reinstall after I solve this, now that I understand) but the posts are all still publishing on the days I dragged them to.

I gotta solve this! I’m spending more time a day copy/pasting drafts to a new post that ISN’T on the calendar, then deleting the published posts, than I am getting any actual work done each day. Eons of time!

It’s true. I have a huge number of drafts, and stupidly dragged them to dates. I can’t seem to undo it no matter what, even with the calendar gone, deleted, vamooshed.

DANG ME! Not your fault. MINE.

But I don’t know how long this will go on! Even the ones I tried changing the date on into the future are still showing up. The date hasn’t arrived but my unfinished posts have!

Valuable lesson: never install a plugin until you truly understand the rules that govern it.

Welcome to my nightmare! ;D

Thanks, kids. I’m an old gal, so maybe it was brain-fade that made me do it. (nah. just plain dumb.)

I went in and selected XML-RPC.

I’m still told my username and password are incorrect. ???

Thanks.

My gosh. That’s quite a compliment. Thank you!

Paula

Thank you!

I agree TOTALLY. I only got a comment a day or two ago. It’s the default, and I never knew it!

I’m going in to change it—as soon as I figure out how. I think it should just be like the rest of the page.

Glad to know someone who knows more agrees with me!!!

Thanks for taking the time for a noob.

Paula

P.S. Would love to see your stuff!

Hey, thanks, JT!

What’s your site or sites?

Do you have any suggestions??? If not, no need to reply unless you want me to visit!

Then, do!

Thanks,
Paula

How did your earlier sites get traffic?

I think it would help if you did some cruising around, reading about how to promote your site.

SEO is no longer quite the cash-cow it used to be. (I know. I had a lot of music sites back in the 90’s.) It’s a whole different ballgame.

Check into “social media,” “promote your site,” and as the person above said, start communicating with other similar sites.

Search engines aren’t king anymore.

Best of luck! : )

Yes, it was a stupid question. I included some code, but it didn’t show up. I guess I formatted it wrong.

Ignore this one. Thanks for trying.

Paula

Thanks! Sorry, this was a stupid question.

I went in and made a new set of permissions to use for my ghost posts, but I am not sure where to go at that point…

I’m a seriously new wordpress person.

How do I input the people?

Thanks…

James, you were right. Modest.

Very clear, and all previous mud is now clear to me.

For me, it’s goddess. Goddess of the alt info! And probably more.

But I’m sure you’re very wise as well, James.

Thanks to all.

The Noob Paula

Actually–I guess the name would have hyphens?…Perhaps the alt text <i>doesn’t</i>?

As you can see, total noob-doozie on this end. : /

Paula

And this is with hyphens-between-words?

(Thank you all!)

James, I’m not sure if she’s a diva…perhaps goddess??

Grateful Paula

I’d love to change my password!

Please advise????
