Confused, confused - Questions please
Hi,
I started using Classipress in middle of Feb. 2013. I don't always have time to work on the site so therefore, I've NEVER had it function properly from day one. I get close but never have I been problem free. I've locked myself out, reinstalled and started over numerous times. Even made a second site thinking I could use it for back up but that hasn't worked well either.... HELP !!
1) I'm relatively functional with code and html but I still don't understand the "changing of permalinks", where to change it (specifically) and what effects it has on the site.
2) I've reinstalled classipress and updated both
WP and classipress and my home page is apparently the "blog" portion and what should be my home page is actually "categories"
Here's the site:
http://www.rideshareusa.com This is what is supposed to be my home page:
http://www.rideshareusa.com/wp/categories
3) As crazy as this may sound, do I have to have the "
wp" on the end of the url link?
www.rideshareusa.com or do I have to use
www.rideshareusa.com/wp ??
4) Basically all ads are free (no charge) However, I have an option for $4.79 "featured ad" except it doesn't work properly in posting or collecting $'s
5) Is there a widget that can display 160 or 200 x 600 pxls ads on the sidebar?
6) How do I make the site
SEO friendly?
7) Oh yes, I also lost my "featured ad slider" in the reinstall, as well as, "recent posts" below the categories - now, this may be because I don't have any ads anymore... not sure about that one.
In advance, thank you so much. Any/All help greatly appreciated. Bob
