Great, I have almost 7000 spammers but no spam, odd. Do I delete them? They all have 0 under posts. My site publishes on my facebook name but not page, which is good because I have alot of facebook people on my friends list but hardly any on my page so I didn’t seem to see any benefit in having a page. I can put it back on there, I just added to publicize on twitter too.
So to truly know how many followers I have that actually get notified when I post I count the jetpack subscribers, my blog lovin and my google plus and that is it? lol. It’s ok. I just want to know how accurate it is and if I am even getting any traffic at all! I know I am getting spam traffic now.
Thank you so much for your help!

Can anyone help?

i got the comment thing covered. In all my other themes I have had IMAGE WIDGET. I don’t have this..in this theme. When I add it I take the url of the image and put it in the widget on my sidebar when I go to preview it, it’s there.

one more thing, can I make the comment section at the bottom of the post?

I just found a drop down how to change everyone’s roll to subscriber so I did. ??

It still says 172 followers on my front page though.

I just talked to blue host and it seems to be s problem with my computer, he was able to link my stuff so I am going to try from another computer.

I even tried to make it in word, linking the images and then copy and pasting, some worked some didn’t some went to the wrong link but in html it all looked like it was going through to the right place, I think WP is just wonky right now with the new upgrade.

Also, if you switch between text and visual editors that strips out code – so that might be part of the problem if you are doing that?

So If I can’t use the paper clip button then what do I do because I will put it in HTML publish and the link will not appear and the first link that was there, will be gone too. Why is the paper clip button not working anyway? I have never had that problem. Then I tried it on my other theme and it did the same, it has never happened before.

Yes and no. I got tired of working on it I think I’m going to give it a freak Break. Not freak. Stupid tablet won’t let me edit on forums!

I do try to keep my repeat plugins inactive and only use one at a time. I may have missed one though.

Yes I had that plug in and every time I tried to use it when I went to view the page, I just got arrows on the outside edges of where the slides should show. After awhile (huge slideshow btw) some little dots in a box would show up but didn’t stick around long enough to click on just a few then started over again. I disabled jetpack just to see what it would do, you said that I am using jetpack’s short codes I don’t know how to disable that feature. I just got rid of it all together after downloading my .cvs file for contacts. Other then that, disabling really didn’t do much for me, my stats were way off from “count per day’s” stats and it got rid of some side bar images and subscribe by email, that is about it.

I am playing with my shopping cart plugin right now that is suppose to have have a slideshow gallery with it, it also has a way to connect with NextGen but I haven’t gotten that far and after having heard how NextGen is having issues I thought I would give this ugly a go since you can add to cart as the slideshow runs but again, (mentioned on another thread for another site I am building) when I click on the paper clip, to link my slideshow page, my box doesn’t show up so I go to HTML mode (not to smart here, but know how to insert a code) I highlighted the area I wanted linked and it didn’t work. It linked but to a page, but when I go to view, it can’t be found. When I did randomly see the slideshow page (the one that came with the plugin), for some reason only one image showed. But that part is the plugin I imagine. I thought if I am having trouble with my short codes, I would have to start that process of elimination before I can get the shopping cart to work. Computers are fun but a curse! This one is a real pita. I contacted support but well.. that’s a whole different story.

ok, going to read your links now… maybe it tells me in the link. Is Jetpack recommended? I don’t even really like it but I watched a wordpress tv video and they seemed to think it is a MUST.

Good to know especially with NextGen because I was going to use them for a whole different site for a portfolio. Good slideshow plugins are hard to come by even just in the searches finding what kind of features are for you. The wordpress slideshow feature sometimes doesn’t even pop up when creating a gallery.

I don’t know how to add anything to my editor, other than how to to get to it. Then when I am there, there is many tabs for templates to choose from. I have no idea where to go.

I surely appreciate your time.

Now that I am not in a hurry, when I first tried it, I did to just what you said with copying the permalink, the shortlink (tried both ways) I could do one link after that, none of the others took to the linking. I don’t know HTML but I feel know enough to add a link. The only way I could link any of them, is through the html tab because I couldn’t even get the paper clip to pop the box up to enter a link on the text page. Not even with the keyboard shortcuts, it would show I clicked on it but didn’t do anything, so I went to the html tab.

As far as adding it in the editor. I have no idea what tab to click on to put any links in anywhere. There is a template list. I imagine I would have to choose one and put it in there. I have no idea which one to put it in.

Then after that, there is the second subcategory. Such as HOME PAGE> NEW FRONT PAGE> PORTFOLIO> SENIORS> WEDDINGS> COMMERCIAL and so on. SENIORS> WEDDINGS> COMMERCIAL linking to PORTFOLIO. Then when clicking on SENIORS, WEDDINGS, OR COMMERCIAL those links it should take you to the destination page with the final slideshow. I still have to learn how to use in NextGen like the back of my hand because it’s a mess.

The site url that I am talking about is https://www.somanycrafts.com I post youtube videos and try to post slide shows. I can post slide shows sometimes with the wordpress gallery when it shows up, or I install a plugin and sometimes it works, sometimes not. I hate the look of a wordpress slideshow when it gives me an option to give one. I had one that made the whole screen grey and a nice slideshow presentation would go but that was so long ago I don’t remember how I used the plug in. Or which one it was because I have tried several, yes I deactivate them when I am not using them. Right now I have to learn NextGen like the back of my hand. That requires a short code as well. I would change settings, delete the page I had the slide show running on, and redo the whole thing because I do know you can’t change the settings once you have made the slide show. So I would go in and redo it all. Same result. I am not sure I am making sense here, so let’s start with the simple YouTube.

I take the code youtube gives me I copy and paste it on it’s own line. I publish. I see the short code, I go back… copy and paste HTML. Publish, nothing shows but blank area where the show is suppose to be. Same thing with the embedded code. Start all over. Eventually something works but not the same thing every time. I got frustrated and downloaded a plug in called youtube, wow that didn’t do anything.

Now I am going to be working on putting a shopping cart in a password protected area, to sell some photos. If the shortcodes are not working I can’t see the shopping cart. It was a couple days ago that I did it. I have to refresh to tell you exactly what I saw.
