    Oh my gosh. I found myself holding the bag to set up a website for a nonprofit I've been involved with for a while. I have a very strong background in systems administration and tech in general, but web design has been something I've avoided like the plague. This video right here? Probably the best value on RUclips, and I watch a LOT of educational RUclips.
    Thank you so much for bringing this video to the world, I'm subbed and will spread the word.

    • @npally
      @npally  Год назад +1

      Sounds like you have the pages transparent background turned on. You can turn this off on the page, by going to pages > edit... then once on the edit screen click the astra logo in the top right. This will open a sidebar with some settings. I believe the transparent options are in the Advanced setttings. If you want this to be done on all pages that is in the customizer. I would suggest just searching RUclips for tips on that - "how to remove transparent header in Astra theme". That should get you more details. Hope this helps.

    • @npally
      @npally  5 месяцев назад +1

      There are a lot of ways to do this. But I do not have any resources on this. Here are some ideas - if you have access to cPanel, you can create emails directly in there. Just do a RUclips search for "creating emails with cPanel". Other than that you can either sign up for Microsoft 365 for Google Workspace. Again, this is worth a RUclips search as both these products can be complex.

      This could be a permalink issue. See if changing the permalinks to a different type (like plain) and see if that works go to Settings > Permalinks. Be sure to click Update at the bottom of the page. Ideally though your permalinks should be set to "post". In the end, this can be a tricky one to diagnos.

    If I want to align the top image section with an added video where are the controls to align the video

    • @npally
      @npally  Год назад +1

      Hmmm. That would depend on how you added the video. But most likely the alignment would either be in the row or column settings and not the actual video. So it you mouse over the column/row and icon (usually at the top left when you scroll over the element) should appear. Click that to engage the settings for the column/row. Some times there are settings within setting within settings, so you may have to dig down to find which setting is controlling the alignment.

    • @npally

      Be sure the page you are editing is the actual page that is being linked to in your main menu. 1. First in wordpress > pages menu, scroll over the page you just updated. When you scroll over it a menu will appear below it and you should see "view page" there. Click that and confirm that your updates were made. Then in the browser address bar copy/REMEMBER the URL. Now, click on your main menu of the website to view the page. Is it the same page? Same URL? If not, then it is your main menu that needs updating. Let me know if that helps.

      Hi, Sounds like the page hasn't been created yet. When you go to "Pages" in the lefthand sidebar, can you find your donation confirmation page? It should install when you install the plugin. If it is not there you can try deleting GiveWP and reinstalling it. It could also be a cache issue. Here are two articles I found about this - wordpress.org/support/topic/confirmation-page-not-showing-2/ and givewp.com/documentation/core/frequent-troubleshooting-issues/understanding-troubleshooting-user-access/. If the issue continues to persist just submit a help ticket to their support forum at wordpress.org/support/plugin/give/. Hope this helps.

    • @npally
      @npally  Год назад

      There are a lot of reasons an email may not get recieved when sent from a Wordpress website. It many be you need to add an SMTP plugin to your website. I would suggest just searching RUclips for "not getting emails from Wordpress website", you'll find lots of potential fixes that way. But first check your Donations > Settings > Emails > Email Settings. And go down to "From Email" and be sure the "from email" is using the same domain as your website. If your website is "savechildren.com" your "from email" should use the same domain, for instance no-reply@savechildren.com or info@savechildren.com. If these don't match the an email server may reject the email as spam.
      Then in Donations > Settings > Emails > Admin emails, you can still have this send to whatever email you want.
      Hope this help.

    Why are you using WordPress plus another website builder? Doesn’t WordPress host domains and websites on its own?

    • @npally
      @npally  Год назад

      Wordpress is the platform. It has a very basic and difficult to use page builder built in (Gutenburg). Most designers will install page builders like Beaver or Elementor as they are far more powerful and a lot easier to use. Wordpress is a stand alone application that gets installed on a server (as we demonstrate) and it is FREE. I think you are referring to WordPress.COM - which is a fee based service that will install and host WordPress on their own servers. It also limits your use of plugins, upsells their services and has a go-between interface that makes it difficult to customize wordpress and install plugins. We do not recommend Wordpress.com. We recommend getting your own hosting and installing Wordpress (wordpress is FREE). I realize this can be confusing. Hope this helps clarifiy things.

      Technically, you can start getting donations within minutes of setting it up. But you will need to let people know they can donate. You can use your email list, Facebook page, blog post, etc. to get the word out. So people will need to be directed to your site and inspired to donate. This video is mostly about setting up the website. Here is a playlist with videos on getting donations - ruclips.net/video/cmTJL3Mf5iU/видео.html

      @npally  11 дней назад

      Oh yes. This can happen. When you installed the template it would have used all the free widgets. But if you want to customize the design it can often mean you want to use the pro widgets. So you either have to just use the free ones, or purhase the pro plugin. I find, as long as I keep my design simple, I can use the free version for most anything. You could try using a free plugin that gives you more addons to elementor. Something like this may help - wordpress.org/plugins/essential-addons-for-elementor-lite/

      That is not an uncommon issue. It could be that your domain and website are so new that it just hasn't propagated yet. If you are using hostgator just give their customer support a call (866-964-2867) and let them know. They usually can fix it right away.

      Not exactly sure what you are referring to. Payment for what? Hosting? GiveWP donation page? Either way, a standard CC should work.
