    Hi there!

    https://madeit40s.wordpress.com/

    for the above website, has it been published yet? why i can’t see any post under my profile?

    I visited https://madeit40s.wordpress.com/, and I can see your site just fine. It is now published, so anyone with the link can view the site.

    I also don’t see any posts published on your site. If you click My Site → Posts, you’ll see that you are yet to publish any post. You can learn more about publishing and managing posts here:

    Posts are individual pieces of content on a blog. This guide will show you how to create and manage the posts on your site. Video Tutorial Video Transcript Welcome. In this video, we’ll take a look at posts, which are individual articles or other pieces of content that usually appear on the blog page of your site. To create a new post, click the “Right” button in the top toolbar,

    I chose the comment button, but why it wasn’t displayed on the website?

    Comments option will only appear on Posts and Pages (depending on the individual post/page’s discussion settings). Here’s how to enable them site-wide and on posts/pages.

    As of now, your site doesn’t have any posts or pages published. Your homepage content comes from the homepage template, which you added directly via the site editor. Do you want to display a comment section on the homepage? If yes, you’ll need to create a page, move the content to that page, and make it the homepage of your site.

    We can share the specific steps with you once you confirm if you want the homepage to have a comment section.

    If you publish posts, they will have a comment section (again, depending on your site’s discussion and post settings).

    and how to categorize my website content so to get more search?

    You can start adding tags and categories to your posts by following these guides:

    Many thanks for your reply.

    I just want the existing template layout for the page I created. So does this layout available both in blog and website?

  • Hey there,

    Many thanks for reaching back out there.

    I just want the existing template layout for the page I created.

    What is the page you’ve created exactly? It’s possible to switch a page template in the page settings on the right hand side:

    The layout would be present throughout the site, to be used as it needs to.

    Are you looking to use this template for a page in particular?

    please kindly refer to the above conversations before replying. I created this website, https://madeit40s.wordpress.com/. it was published, but I can’t see any post I posted nor can anyone search for my website so i can’t promote it nor categorise it. I like the layout of the page I created, so what shall I do to make it searchable? How to add more page using the same layout?

  • Hello

    Thank you for getting back to us.

    I have checked your site and can see that you have configured only your homepage to display content. You did not add any Pages nor Posts to your site yet.

    Can you please tell us a bit more about your site? What’s the main purpose of it, and what kind of content would you like to publish on it? Are there any examples of sites you would like your site to look like? Can you share them with us?

    so what shall I do to make it searchable

    By searchable, do you mean displayed in the Google Search Results?

    Thanks in advance for your reply!
