Creating a business page rom the premiums I have already made

  • Unknown's avatar

    G’morning. So the urls redirect now… I want to add http://www.themusicalforest.net – and – http://www.thephantastictheater.com

    You’ll need to register both of those URLs on soundartus.wordpress.com following the steps here:

    Register a New Domain

    It doesn’t look like you have those setup yet at WordPress.com.

    When do the followers come? … and then I assume the old sites will disappear… and there’ll be only Soundartus, Anna FIlameno and Meet Me B The River…? — is that right.

    The followers haven’t been moved just yet. I can move them now though if you would like! Just to confirm, we’re moving them from

    talesoftheoceancity.wordpress.com

    namethatopus.wordpress.com

    squiggletbuglet.wordpress.com

    to

    soundartus.wordpress.com

    Correct? Leaving the others intact?

    Regarding the sites, we can either leave them up (so talesoftheoceancity.wordpress.com would still exist) or you can delete them all following the steps here:

    Delete a Website

    I also have a question about ‘re-posting’. In ‘Name That Opus’… I put out composer’s birthdays. I’d like to just keep them going year round… is there a way of just rescheduling them en-masse? – thanks.

    Unfortunately, the best way to do this would be to create a new post for each year. The trouble with scheduling already existing posts is that when you schedule them for the future. They’re no longer available until the scheduled date.

    For example, say you had a birthday coming up on 5/1/15. You posted on that date, but you would also want the post to go up again on 5/1/16. In order to do that, you would have to edit the post and schedule it again for 5/1/16. If you did that on say 5/10/15, the post would only be available from 5/1/15 to 5/10/15 until it republishes on 5/1/16. Does that make sense?

    Having problems connecting tumblr and linked in – they keep saying… there was a problem with authentication or some such…

    Can you try to login to Tumblr and LinkedIn first through your browser and then try to add them to your site?

    Thanks – went to MY SITE – and, before removing old blogs, all the email followers are there right… I saw them – but want to be sure before taking big step.

    Very good – back to the other things…thanks!

    There’s no reason to leave the old ones up is there?… it doesn;t help with SEO or anything? – best.

    Done.

    Is it possible to make different pages different colors? thx.

  • Unknown's avatar

    The reorganization is complete! The old blogs are deleted… !

    Sent out my announcement to all followers… one question. I placed, in the post a headshot and linked it to Soundartus. IN the email in my gmail… I pressed on the pic and it gave me this message “Are you sure this is a trusted site? Security override…” Is everyone going to get that?.. and why did it happen? … it even said “A real business wouldn;t need for you to do this..!” ??

    Excellent!

    Is it possible to make different pages different colors?

    That is possible. Are you trying to change the background color of the pages? Let me know what portion you’re trying to change, and I can help with the CSS to make it happen!

    Did you happen to use https for the link like this?

    https://soundartus.com

    If so, the issue is that the certificate sent to the browser is from soundartus.wordpress.com. Since the URL the browser sees is soundartus.com, the mismatch triggers an error. Currently, we cannot issue certificates for custom domains. However, if you stick with the http version of your domain, you shouldn’t have any trouble. Can you double check the link?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I checked and it was the httpversion just as above… I hope others didn’t get this…

    Yes – I guess it’s the background color… would that encompass the color of the post? — so that each page (tales, mus forest, etc) can have more of their own look. Thanks!

    Hey there!

    Your theme is set up so changing a page color will be universal, rather than being able to set a different color on unique pages.

    However, if you have more specific CSS/formatting questions, you may like to address them in the specialized CSS forum:

    For more detailed instruction on how you can make CSS adjustments on your own, take a look at these two links:

    Thanks so much!

    Hi – thank you. Quick question…

    Is it possible — when creating new pages and introductory sticky blog posts as I organize my site… for posts NOT to go out to people? .. when it’s organizational…? People don;t need to see every post, or experiment post I create…? thanks.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hey Christopher!

    The only way to make sure that posts don’t go out when you are still in the experimentation/setup stage is for your to make your site private.

    Here’s how you can do that:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

    When the site is ready to go live, and you are happy for those posts to go out to followers, you can change the settings to Public.

    That should do the trick! If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)
