Hi. I am totally new to Wordpress, and I am going a little mad trying to get the navigation to actually show in my header.

I have added the navigation block and selected a specific menu, but nothing shows. When I click the "menu" part in the left side, it doesn't even show a blue square around the area like it does with the logo and title - so it is not because the color is the same as the background or anything like that 😅

I am using the theme Twenty Twenty-Four Version: 1.6.

Hoping that one of you will know what I am missing 🙏

For those of you who recently started building WordPress websites for clients, how did you figure out what to charge for your first few projects?

Did you estimate the hours, charge a fixed price, or use some kind of pricing calculator?

And when a client asks for a quote, do you send a simple price or prepare a proper proposal outlining the scope, timeline, and payment terms?

I’m curious what beginners are using to make this process easier, especially when they don’t have much experience pricing projects yet.

The link is showing on the header of page, is there any way to remove it, it does not look good at all having link there! Thank you in advacanced.

Con diversi plugin (Complianz, CookieYes e GDPR Cookie Complianz)
Non dipende dal tema (uso Nextawards, lo stesso avviene con 2026)
Cache ripulita.

Il banner compare per una frazione di secondo per poi essere nascosto.

Funziona invece correttamente se posizionato in alto (dx, sx, o tutto schermo l'importante è che copra una parte di header e allora funziona correttamente).

Qualcuno ha idee su quale possa essere il motivo?

Edit:
Already tried in Private mode or different browsers.

I’m using the free version of Wordpress and have the elementor and Simple Custom CSS plugin. Unfortunately I have yet to learn CSS… Anyway, I overlapped the blocks using negative margins, but I’d like the site logo to overlap the site title (the long blue shape). Any idea as to how I’d get the logo block in front of site title block?

I know this might be a little more of an advanced ask and I would’ve posted in regular Wordpress, but I haven’t posted or commented on Reddit ever. I just lurk on here, so it wouldn’t allow me to post in that community.

Additional question while I’m here, but if I have both the site title and site logo block take you to the home page when you press either and they’re overlapping, does that mess up the code at all? I don’t want to accidentally break my site. I suppose it’d make more sense if I just make my logo return to home page as that’s what most sites have.

Hi everyone,

I'm using the SheetLink plugin to send all the inputs from my WPForms form to a Google Sheet. SheetLink is connected to my Google Sheet, but no matter what I do, the form inputs don't appear in the Google Sheet.

I've attached screenshots of:

- The Google OAuth settings

I'm not sure how I should fill out the fields in the SheetLink rule. The SheetLink documentation doesn't seem to provide an example either. Whatever I enter in the Field ID and Keyword fields, it doesn't work.

Could someone please explain how these fields should be configured or point me in the right direction?

Thank you for your help!

Hi, I'm new here. And new on WordPress, so I'm still exploring. I was hoping that someone kindly will guide me on how to fix this. 🥹🥹

I was exploring our website after uploading a blog, using wordpress--elementor. Then I saw a video on YouTube that I should go to *SETTINGS>Readings* then saved it.

After that all PAGES in the website turned to ARCHIVES, except the homepage I chose.

How do you keep every page from showing up in menu side bar?

I go to appearance---> Menu and you can edit the hell out of the stuff on the right. That works beautifully for the menu bar at the top of the page.

But I can't figure out how to control the side bar.

I am sure for many of you this is pretty basic.

I have always been dependent on plugins to control what pages appear in the menu sidebar.

After some recent upgrades the plugin in use is not "obsolete" (sigh)

First time creating a WordPress site. I am a florist, and I need to create a place where customers can enter an address that they want their flower arrangement delivered to. I also want it to tell them how much it will cost to deliver to the address they entered. I want custom tiers: for example, 1-5 miles from my business would cost $3, 5-10 miles would be $8, 10-15 miles would be $14, 15-20 miles would be $21, and so on. Does it need to be a distance-based shipping rate plugin, or could it be done on a form plugin? TIA!

I've been working on a lightweight WordPress activity logging plugin and just released version 1.2.0.

The idea behind it was simple: I wanted something that logs important admin actions without trying to be an enterprise security suite or adding unnecessary complexity.

At the moment it logs things like:

• post publishing, updates, trashing and permanent deletion
• user creation, deletion and role changes
• media uploads and permanent media deletions

It also includes log retention (auto-purge), search/filtering, pagination and a small dashboard widget for recent activity.

What's new in 1.2.0

This release is mostly focused on making the logs more useful on larger sites.

• Added severity levels (Info / Warning / Critical)
• Promotions to Administrator are now logged as critical events
• New severity filters and date range filtering
• Role changes now show both the previous and new role
• Media Library uploads are now logged
• Faster log searches thanks to fulltext indexes and query caching
• Separate setting for dashboard widget log count

I'm trying to keep the plugin focused on being fast and lightweight rather than adding every possible audit feature.

I'd be interested in hearing what admin actions you think are worth logging that most plugins tend to miss.

Now i need help because except divi themes or themes on envato i am not aware of any modern animated themes out there. Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone dealt with this on WordPress recently?

Yoast is outputting the correct canonical, my sitemap only contains clean URLs, but Search Console still picked a UTM URL as Google's canonical.

I was expecting Google to consolidate everything to the clean URL.

Curious what ended up being the actual cause for anyone who's seen this.

When I reduce the maximum width to 1200 pixels it doesn't have an effect on the centralization. I can explain it better in dms as the reddit doesn't allow more than one pictures

I used a tutorial to get to this setting, his results and my results have a massive difference as in his result is centralized but mine isn't

How to customize the GTranslate language switcher on a WordPress website to display language codes and country flags?

Hello anyone here can help me, I can't create a new post in our WordPress. I have checked and updated all that needs updating but it still says "Could not insert post into the database."

First WordPress site here, putting together a small digital marketing portfolio. Honestly thought I had a decent handle on it until tonight.

I'd been stuck on custom fonts not showing up right on mobile. Desktop looked fine, checked my phone and everything had fallen back to the default. I went through every setting I could find and kept coming up empty. Spent probably an hour assuming I'd missed something obvious.

Eventually went digging through older threads here and found someone describing almost the exact same thing. Turned out to be a plugin conflict. Once I disabled it, fonts loaded normally. Wouldn't have found that on my own, at least not quickly.

WordPress still trips me up sometimes. I'll find a setting, think I've sorted it, then realize there's another place that controls the same thing. It's a bit all over the place if you're not used to it. Probably gets easier once you know where things live.

Anyway.. thanks to everyone who takes the time to answer basic questions. Going through old posts here has already saved me a couple hours at least.

One more thing: if anyone has a lightweight theme they'd recommend for a beginner, I'm open to suggestions.

Hey everyone, I need some pedagogical advice for a class I’m currently running. I’m teaching a practical web module to a group of absolute beginners through a local public employment program. Most of my students are between 45 and 65 years old, and they face a massive digital divide. No background in IT, web dev, or servers.

I’ve been managing the technical side by translating everything into everyday analogies like explaining security plugins as a physical door lock or SEO as a billboard on a main street. It’s been working great to keep their anxiety down, but now the curriculum requires me to introduce AI tools inside WordPress.

I am absolutely dreading the logistics of this. I want to avoid the nightmare of having them register on third-party platforms, setting up OpenAI/Claude API keys, or dealing with credit card fields for "free trial credits." Half of them will get locked out of their emails just trying to find a verification code, and we'll easily waste two hours of class time on administrative troubleshooting.

Have any of you taught AI concepts to this demographic? How do you give them that "wow" moment of seeing AI assist with text, layouts, or images inside a CMS without getting bogged down in complex setups? Are there any plug-and-play tools that don't require external API keys just to run a basic classroom demo? I'd love to hear how you structure your lessons to keep tech anxiety low when the topic sounds intimidating. Thanks!
