The difference between the originalfile URL, the protected /_pda/ URL, and private download links was notimmediately clear during setup. * Thank you, Anthony. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [All Categories Not Showing Up In Gutenberg](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/all-categories-not-showing-up-in-gutenberg/) * [expertcomputerhelp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antmarweb/) * (@antmarweb) * [7 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/all-categories-not-showing-up-in-gutenberg/#post-11024726) * Yep, I have the same issue. The category drop down shows none of my 15 categories. Yuck. Any ETA on the fix? Thanks. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [X Theme-co CornerStone vs. Avada Fusion Builder](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/x-theme-co-cornerstone-vs-avada-fusion-builder-1/) * [expertcomputerhelp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antmarweb/) * (@antmarweb) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/x-theme-co-cornerstone-vs-avada-fusion-builder-1/#post-8653959) * I bought these themes about 2 months ago and so far I really like both. After building a few sites in each, I would say Avada is the more polished theme and has the faster more intuitive backend workflow. Avada feels faster no matter what I’m doing. And even though x theme has a front end builder that is visually nice, it still needs work. With that being said, I can see how Avada would be able to get the job done more efficiently. Even though the Avada page builder works in the backend, I think it’s still better. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [WordPress.org – You've been blocked.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpressorg-youve-been-blocked/) * Thread Starter [expertcomputerhelp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antmarweb/) * (@antmarweb) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpressorg-youve-been-blocked/#post-6387870) * Jan, I love your response. 🙂 Yes.

I was searching Google for WP plugins etc, found a link that brought me to WordPress.org. That’s when I realized I was not logged in. When I tried to log in I got that error. I hope that clears things up some. Let me know.

What am I looking for exactly? Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total)
