WordPress changes Home with Advertising

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m very disappointed for the shameful behavior of WordPress staff. I had decided change my blog’s theme to another compatible and realized that WP, simply and without any authorization of mine, had replaced my Home’s content by sponsored content in updating my theme.

    It’s shameful, really shameful. WordPress staff don’t need this practice to earn money. They want to force free users to upgrade from free plans anyway. They have NO RESPECT for people’s work, simply programming replacement of stuff by advertising. Wish for money can deform people’s minds and WordPress staff seems to have been badly transformed.

    Right now, I’ve fixed that bu**sh*t commited. Not before printing the shame. Screenshor below is located in blog’s (still free) storage.

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

    P. S.: That can be verified with try and personalizing the theme (free plans). I thought it would be displayed only in personalizing section, with no effects. Surprise! It took effect. I had tried a lot of themes. It is happening with all of them.

    Hi there, it looks like at one point you tried the Redhill theme https://wordpress.com/theme/redhill Redhill uses a static front page; what you saw was the demo copy which you would replace with your own.

    It looks like in the meantime you have switched your site’s homepage from a static front page to having your latest blog posts display, so let us know if you have any other question about this.

    Hi, friend!

    It has happened when personalizing otgers themes, tio, Just yesterday. As I said, I highlighted Redhill ‘cos It was the last I Trier and activated.

    I never switch front page to post page. It’s a static page years long. Nor accidentally. I can see that WordPress pretends to clean up its platform from Free plans very fast.

    Thanx, Jennifer, for your attention.

  • Hi there,

    What you’re seeing is the demo content of the theme you have selected. This helps you setup your theme more easily by replacing the demo content with your own. It’s not sponsored content nor advertising.
