    Thank you for that code for the .htaccess file!! I couldn't quite get my code correct and had changed domains today and none of my backlinks were going to the correct place. You save me from loss of SEO and traffic!! Thanks again, been looking for hours for this fix.

    Alex, I've been meaning to ask, for the articles you write on roofbox, there's a space between each paragraph. How do you write like that?
    Do you double tap enter after H1 or what exactly, give me a formatting rundown please.

    • @WPEagle
      @WPEagle  Před 4 lety

      Just press enter within elementor - if not just add a space then another block.

    • @zakaria_chana
      @zakaria_chana Před 4 lety

      ​@@WPEagle Let me be specific.
      For example on one of your articles, you have this H2 title: "Loading Your Roof Box
      "
      Then a gap, then the text: "The focus of this article is what you should put/load in your roof box..."
      Now I want to replicate the same gap. By the way, enter on elementor and also on Word is a newline and doesn't create a gap. I tried double enter, or double alt+enter, but the space created is not the same.
      I want to replicate exactly your format.
      There has to be something I'm missing here, I can't see anyone creating a new block of text after every H2 or H3, do you?

    Thanks for the video. Probably a stupid noob question but does siteground take care of all the 301s automatically than (so there is no manual 301 redirecting needed on any of your .com pages)?

    Hello!
    Your videos has been really helpful. I have a question about namecheap. I don't recall using any sort of other domain name website. I did everything on Siteground so does that mean I can skip that step? Also, changing your primary domain name is free correct?

      @@WPEagle I had asked someone about changing my website into a different one and if it would cost me. This is what I got “You physically can’t. That’s not a thing. You literally just have to buy a new one”. How true is this statement? I just don’t want to waste the money I spent on my first domain so if it’s mandatory to purchase for renaming, wouldn’t it be better to just add another website with the name I wanted?

This shows my new domain...a thorough search ...the Wordpress does not show at all. I was on Wordpress.com with the domain of gleaningknowledge.com.
