Edit or delete it, then start writing! January 24, 2023. Got any book recommendations? Get In Touch …” I check with some articles with deleting posts and deleting database records. also I have done the google index and SEO for this site but its still remain the same. how can I remove this. please give a solution for it

    Hi! Your site isn’t hosted here with us, but I’d recommend making sure that starter article is no longer in your posts. Just go to wp-admin/posts, and look for it there. Trash it if it exists.

    Then, you can ask Google to remove that page:

    Going forward, these forums are primarily for sites that use our free-tier hosting. We’re a little different from the WordPress software itself. This article explains some of the differences.

    You’ll want to create an account at WordPress.org so you’ll have access to the correct community for your site. Or, you’d be welcome to host here; your plan would get direct support. If you’re interested, let us know your goals with your site. We can confirm the best plan for your case and recommend your next steps.

    Cheers!
