 * Are you the only person working on the site you’re trying to build? If not, then
   you may have different permissions that don’t allow you to publish anything.
 * Also, there’s a very good chance you’re not going to find a quick and dirty explanation
   of WP, considering how vast it can be/is, and how many moving parts it has. But
   if you want “simple”:

 * Not saying this will help but maybe try manually downloading this file and putting
   it in wp-includes?

 * Allowing registration or single-login function with Twitch is definitely possible,
   and I’d assuming checking to see if the user is partnered prior to displaying
   site registration forms would be done by checking the broadcaster_type field:
 * [https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/channels/#get-channel](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/channels/#get-channel)
 * However, I don’t think you’re going to find a plugin to do exactly what you want
   on the WP forums and a basic search for one that is integrated in that way into
   WP doesn’t yield great results. Sorry to not be of much more help.

 * You can either link directly to the category page in the blog post, which will
   depend on your permalink structure, i.e.:
 * [https://journeysintolight.org/category/awakening-larger-life/](https://journeysintolight.org/category/awakening-larger-life/)
 * Or, add the category link to your blog post template, which would be something
   along these lines (sorry, I can’t test it right now):
 *     ```
       <?php $category = get_the_category();
       $firstCategory = $category[0]->cat_name; echo $firstCategory;?>
       ```

 * You’ve got the body set to have text-transform set to Capitalize.
 *     ```
       body, button, input, select, textarea {
           font-family: 'Karla',sans-serif;
           font-weight: 700;
           font-size: 1rem;
           text-transform: capitalize;
       }
       ```
   
 * Which will capitalize the first letter of all of the words within the body. Change
   it to inherit or none or something else.

 * Make sure the permissions of the uploads folder are set correctly. You can change
   them either via your hosting file manager or your FTP program.

 * You could wrap your ads in something like this:
 *     ```
       <?php if( current_user_can('subscriber') || current_user_can('administrator') ) {  ?>
           // user is a subscriber or administrator, do nothing, or something it's up to you
       <?php } else { ?>
          // ad code goes here
       <?php } ?>
       ```

 * 1. Yoast is by far one of the best SEO plugins, and one of the most popular to
   use, but you’re only going to get out of it what you put in. If you know nothing
   about SEO and don’t do the proper research, simply having the plugin isn’t going
   to improve your search rankings.
 * 2. This will give you a better idea of Single page sites vs. multiple page ones
   as they relate to SEO: [https://www.searchenginejournal.com/single-page-websites-good-bad-seo/190095/](https://www.searchenginejournal.com/single-page-websites-good-bad-seo/190095/)
 * 3. As for theme choice, that again is really just up to you, your audience, what
   you know about them and what would be appealing to them as customers. One theme
   isn’t going to necessarily be any better than another one and there are tons 
   of them out there that I’m sure would suit your needs. The only suggestion I’d
   give for this is that if you decide to buy one, then make sure it’s one that 
   is properly maintained, is updated regularly and has developer support.

 * Oh that’s good I can see it now! Excellent. And that CORS error isn’t showing
   anymore.
 * Okay, so, what it *looks* like is happening on your page is you’re trying to 
   add a full width image and text to the home page, but your text is being positioned
   by using a lotttttt of   (spaces) and margins and paddings and etc etc.
 * Is that right?
 * Are you using the free or paid version of Tesseract at the moment?

 * [@cphilippou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cphilippou/) Hmm, welp. First
   thing’s first. Add this to your htaccess file:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_headers.c>
         <FilesMatch "\.(ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff|woff2|font.css|css|js)$">
           Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
         </FilesMatch>
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * Your site is throwing a CORS policy error when trying to load your fonts. This
   might fix it. Tho, I still can’t see any buttons or dogs on your site, despite
   trying both URLs. It looks like it tries to load, but then redirects to whatever
   this basic site is.

 * Do you have a page with the text and two buttons and dog head on it? I just see
   a basic theme layout when I visit your URL.

 * Looks like this could be a W3 Total Cache issue. Do you have that plugin installed?
   If so, try this:
 *     ```
       If the error message “The required directives for fancy permalinks could not be detected” appears, follow these steps:
       On the left sidebar, hover over Settings, and then click Permalinks.
       Choose a method of Permalinks other than the default setting, and then click Save Changes.
       To return to the W3 Total Cache Settings, hover over Performance in the left menu, and then click General Settings.
       ```
