You can’t make them appear on the home page because this feature is meant for sharing single articles, and not a feed of articles (what your home page really is)

As for the sidebar, you will need to find a 3rdParty plugin (in the Plugin Repository) to handle that task.

In Settings>Discussion there should be a section called ‘e-mail me whenever’ with two check boxes to the right of it. Simply uncheck the appropriate boxes there.

SEO suicide is right! I can’t imagine that this would be very easy to accomplish without some serious custom coding.

I get this request with clients all the time, but I think that to solve this problem, the second site would be quite a bit more expensive than the first. Usually when I mention the cost, clients quickly lose interest, if they haven’t already lost interest when I tell them how hosed their SEO is going to be.

But I’d love to hear the answer, if someone knows it…

Do you know if your theme supports custom menus? It would be easy to go to Appearance>Menus and create a menu that includes a home page link.

Here’s a video on how to create a menu.

Can you provide a link to your site?

Gravity Forms and WuFoo are two that come to mind, and while I have not used them, they get a lot of love from the community. They are not free (though not expensive) and both provide easy-to-use form builders.

I think the core team is working very hard on trying to improve the new user experience, as well as improve documentation in the codex, but it’s a huge undertaking that won’t be fixed overnight.

Then again, I bet microsoft gets blamed all the time when Windows runs poorly on a bargain-basement no-name computer instead of something better. The issue with hosting is no different; there are a ton of them out there, with widely varying specifications and quality.

However, WordPress has addressed the issue here, by pointing out companies you might want to consider. There are other good hosts out there, but this is a great place to start.

Like esmi says, just locate your footer.php file, and paste it in there… it will load on every page of your site.

I also use the plugin Google Analytics for WordPress, which may be easier.

To do this, you will need to use a theme that supports the display of Featured Images on the home page of your site, or modify the theme files directly to add featured image support.

Have you tried this question on the PressWork support forums? It may be a better place to look, as your problem is so specific, and one that has surely been asked there by other users such as yourself.

Just dropping code into your theme’s PHP files isn’t enough, you also have to modify the style sheet (style.css) to tell it where you need it to go once you have it in there.

Just a guess, because I am not familiar with your theme, but you probably need to target the div that has the ads, and float it to the right. Another possibility is to add a widget area into the header of your theme, and then add your ad rotator as a widget from within the dashboard.

Both solutions will require that you be comfortable writing in code; it will be difficult to find a cut and paste solution.

@love65ed – if you’ve tried all of the above, and no luck, then you really need to contact your host. Everything mentioned thus far is not a true fix; they are hacks meant to get around the issue. The ONE option that works is getting your host to change the settings on your box, or find a host who will.

Also, you might want to ease up on your approach. WordPress is community-supported (and not owned by a company) and we are all users just like you, who take a little time out of our day to help others. Please and thank you get you a lot further around here than SHOUTING IN ALL CAPS.

Cheers-

Did you try switching to another theme, like Twenty Eleve (default) to see if you can isolate this issue to your current theme, since the issue is not a plugin?
