Widgets won't delete

  • Unknown's avatar

    I cannot remove a number of widgets “archive” and “meta” from the right hand side of my screen.
    i have attempted to drag them out of the widgets menu a number of times but they are still there when I update my page.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there!

    I currently don’t see these widgets on your site. Were you able to remove them? Is there anything else you need help with?

    Hi there!

    Just wanted to check in. Were you able to get your widgets set up the way you want?

  • Unknown's avatar

    yep. there seems to be a bug because I couldn’t get rid of them no matter what. I tried re-adding them and then re-deleting them but they wouldn’t go.
    IN the end I think I added in every widget, then deleted them all and this somehow got rid of the “archive” etc that would not go.

    Thanks

    Hmm.. I’ll do some testing and see if I can replicate this.

    Let me know if I can help with anything else!

    Hi Shawna
    Thanks for that.
    I’ve just mapped my domain: http://www.silvergumfarm.com to my blog and it has stopped my email from working.

    Can you tell me where I can go to re-enter my mail server and IP address to get my mail back up again?
    thanks very much

    Hi there!

    You can edit your DNS settings through Store > Domains. Click “Edit DNS” button on the right of your domain name.

    For detailed instructions on updating your DNS records, please visit:

    Let me know if you need help formatting your MX Records!

    Hi
    I have NO IDEA how to write a new DNS record.

    I have the mail server. and I have the IP address.
    That’s it.
    I’ve read the link you put there a number of times both before and after trying the support line. It doesn’t tell me what I need to include and I’ve got Zero experience with DNS records.

    Can you please help me to sort this out. It is urgent as I have customers emailing me who aren’t getting bounce backs but I am not aware that they are emailing.

    I know these records can be really confusing to get formatted correctly. I can definitely help! I just saw your mail server information posted in another thread.

    I’ve formatted your MX Record and entered into your DNS settings. Your DNS records are currently:

    A mail 103.254.137.18
    MX 10 mail.silvergumfarm.com.

    Can you contact your mail host and confirm that those are correct? DNS changes can take several hours to fully take effect (and theoretically up to 72 hours). Let me know if your mail isn’t working in a day and I’ll look into it!

    Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with in the meantime!

    Thanks. those are the correct DNS settings.
    my mail seems to be working now.
    but in trying to get my mail to work, i swapped out the primary domain back to the wordpress one.
    now that you’ve entered my DNS details, I assume I can make silvergumfarm.com my primary domain again?
    Goodness, it was very frustrating not being able to get a hold of anyone yesterday and last night. But i’m guessing you are US based?

    oh dear. now I get a redirect loop error and the website loops from silvergumfarm.com to silvergumfarm.com/wordpress???

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi Shawna
    my email has stopped working again now.
    can you please tell me what would be causing this?
    I have left the primary domain as silvergumfarm/wordpress which stops the redirect loop error.
    but cannot receive any emails to my (email visible only to moderators and staff) email address this afternoon. I received emails on this account this morning.
    thanks

    OK. Final status is:

    I have changed primary domain back to silvergum.com
    email is now working again.

    And when I type in my URL http://www.silvergumfarm.com it redirects to
    http://www.silvergumfarm/wordpress.com
    But I don’t want my clients to see the wordpress in my URL address bar. How can I avoid that?
    Thanks

    Hi there!

    I am US based. Sorry that we keep missing each other.

    You should be able to change your primary domain without affecting your mail settings. It may have caused a glitch because the DNS settings hadn’t fully propagated yet. Can you try making that change again?
