Having a hard time translating these tips to the Kale theme instead of Astra. I tried Kale first and then Astra when I realized there was no starter pack or demo... but now I've got something that looks like a combination of both and it looks terrible. How do I start over from scratch? And can you give some tips on how to set up a blog with the Kale theme please? Thank you in advance!
If you delete the theme and then re-download it you would have the default settings for the theme again. For how to set up your site with a different theme, we would recommend taking a look at the documentation for your specific theme: help.lyrathemes.com/
Great video, thank you! I’m looking to start a blog and sell print on demand products for my chosen niche...can you recommend the best e-commerce platform/plugin to use with Wordpress (or is that covered in another video)? Please & thanks 🙏🏼

so if I wanted to sell items and also blog at the same time. Do I need the shared hosting plan? Because I am looking at the website now and they have so many things from wordpress hosting to shared hosting. I want to make sure I get the one where I can both blog and sell items on one website. (if possible)
You can use most plans for what you are wanting to do, you can consider the type of hosting how powerful it is or if it is optimized for a specific goal. If you want to go with shared hosting you can use that for what you are wanting.
My content gets indexed but for some reason, google keeps ranking the homepage for every keyword instead of the post. Using MH free theme. basically, I mean to say it shows the wrong post titles in Serps. Picks up keywords from the homepage and shows in SERPs with homepage title. It is set to the Latest posts instead of static. I hope you will give me some valuable advice!
You may need to check your SEO plugin settings to ensure you have meta descriptions set for your homepage as it may be inheriting settings or markup from your posts. There is also a chance that depending on your search questions, your results may be cached by the searches you are using instead of showing you the normal ranking. If you haven't done so, you may want to take a look at our guide on checking your ranking below: www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-check-if-your-wordpress-blog-posts-are-ranking-for-the-right-keywords/
@@wpbeginner Well that really was helpful advice indeed! I hovered over to Yoast Seo > Search Appearance > General > Homepage Section under Site Title my Meta Description was missing! Thanks for the "REAL" valuable advice! Typically, how much time it should take to rank the posts now? The next time google bots crawl the site, Right? As per the cached thing, Can I check that in incognito mode too? I hope google does not rank the homepage now, its a nightmare for me TBH
This is quite unusual but my sitemap is submit successful and google is able to fetch it but Url is Unknkown to google It doesn't even Discover the Url.

Can a person start a blog wet a phone
You can start a site using a phone if you wanted :)
@@wpbeginner I mean a blog
Is it okay to submit both sitemap_index.xml and post-sitemap_index.xml in gsc cause google often not updates sitemap_index.xml urls in my case
You can have multiple sitemaps if you want and that is normally what very large sites use.
This is quite unusual but my sitemap is submit successful and google is able to fetch it but Url is Unknkown to google
It doesn't even Discover the Url.
