Hello David,

Thanks for the great question. Google will send you this message if you have submitted a sitemap that contains pages marked as "noindex" inside your Google Search console. 

There are two ways to resolve this, depending on your needs. You can either remove the "noindex" from the posts and pages it is mentioning, or you can remove those posts and pages from your sitemap, if the noindex directive was intentional.

Judging by the link you posted, it looks like you're using the popular plugin Google XML Sitemaps to generate your sitemap files. In order to exclude posts and pages from your sitemap, navigate to Settings -> XML Sitemaps and scroll down to Excluded Items. Here you can add a comma-separated list of the post ID's you need to exclude from your sitemap. 

Here are the instructions from the Plugin's developer on excluding items.

I hope this helps!

Hello David,

Thanks for the great question, I checked out both your /finance and /energy pages and it does look like the SEO Meta Description has been correctly filled out for both pages:

If you recently changed these, it's a good bet that Google hasn't had time to update its indexed descriptions for you yet. This can take weeks or even months in some cases. You can request that Google re-crawl the affected pages, here's the documentation they provide for doing so.

I hope this helps!

Hello David,

Thanks for the question, I'm sorry to hear about the frustrating experience adding spaces below text.

Since WordPress content is built in HTML, extra whitespace (like space and newline characters) is ignored unless you take some steps to ensure that it is rendered. In general, adding spaces with text isn't the recommended way to accomplish what you're looking for. Here are two ways you can add space below content using the Post and Page Builder.

You can add space in between different rows:

Or, you can add padding to the bottom of a block with the Advanced Control menu:

If you would rather use text to add spaces, you should switch over to the Text Editor and add code similar to the following:

<br /> 
<br /> 

These two bits of code, the HTML "Break" element and a Non-breaking space will allow you to add one newline per pair. The above code would look like two newlines.

I hope this helps!

Hello,

Thank you for the question, I'm sorry you're having trouble with no rules defined in <div class>.

When you see the error, "No rules defined in <div class>," what steps did you take that led to this error? What were you trying to accomplish when you saw it?

Generally speaking, CSS classes will need to have the tag look something like, 

<div class="your-div-class">

And once you have a class defined, you can add CSS rules in your Customize -> Advanced -> Custom CSS & JS menu.

I hope this helps, let us know some additional context so that we can help further.

Hello,
Thanks for the excellent question. The easiest way to accomplish this is to actually create two rows, and then use the Advanced Control -> Responsive Utilities menu to only display one of your rows for mobile, and one of them for desktop.

Hello,

Thanks for the question, I'm sorry to hear that you're not being notified for new questions or comments.

The settings for WP Mail SMTP will depend on your email provider, but in general, they should be the same settings you use to set up an email client like Thunderbird or Outlook. If you need to troubleshoot these settings, I recommend using the "Test Email" tab in WP Mail SMTP.

There's more information available on the WPForms website as well.

I hope this helps! If you do need additional assistance, be sure to file a private ticket from your account in BoldGrid Central, so that we can keep your information confidential.

Hello,

My apologies, the animation is a GIF so there is no control bar. Let me try to clarify.

If you have uploaded the media to a specific post or page, then there will be an attachment URL for your media that is related to that post or page. 

However, if you visit your Media -> Library menu, and locate the media, clicking on it will bring you to the Attachment Details screen, where you can copy the permalink for the file.

Additionally, in your Customize -> Background menu, you should also be able to locate any media that you've uploaded, regardless of which post you attached it to. 

I hope this helps!

Hello!

Thanks for the excellent question. The short answer is yes, and no.

The HTML for your WordPress website comes from two main sources, the content and the theme. 

The Post and Page Builder works with the content of your web pages, and you can use either Visual or Text editing mode. In text mode, you can change the HTML layout of your content, as demonstrated in these two screen shots:

Editing the HTML for the Theme, however, is a little more complicated. This is because the HTML is generated by PHP code, and this is what makes WordPress so customizable and flexible. However, it does take more advanced programming knowledge to make adjustments. If this interests you, I suggest checking out our documentation on creating child themes for BoldGrid.

I hope this helps!

Hello!

Thanks for the question, I'm sorry you're not able to see your uploaded images when you're setting your home page background.

It is true that if you upload an image and insert it into a post or page, it will be given an "Attachment" URL associated with that post, as you can see in the following video.

However, there will still be an "Uploads" link to the image, which will depend on the month and year that you uploaded your image. You should still also be able to access your image from the Media Library when you're selecting your background, as demonstrated in the following video.

You can also locate the "Upload" URL by visiting your Media -> Library, selecting your image, and locating the Copy URL field in the right-hand side:

I hope this helps!

Hello David,

I'm sorry if I missed another question. You're right that the typography size options aren't completely explicit for each type of text and heading.

This is because the BoldGrid Theme Framework automatically computes the font sizes of the various headings programattically based on the option you choose in the Customizer.

However, you can of course always get full control of your text and heading sizes in your Customize -> Advanced -> Custom CSS & JS menu by using CSS rules similar to this:

body h1 {
    font-size: 24px;
}

You can adjust the selectors and sizes according to your needs so that you can get fine-grained control of your typography.

I might also recommend the plugin TinyMCE Advanced which lets you control the font sizes from directly within the editor:

I hope this helps!
