I can add them, but if I want to create one, the only time that I see the plus sign is when I have either a Page or Post to insert a pattern in. When I choose Patterns in the Editor, I see the existing patterns, but not an option to create a new pattern, but only to add one. * Thank you. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Cookie Check Failed – Unable to Use Social Service](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-check-failed-unable-to-use-social-service/) * Thread Starter [velanche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/velanche/) * (@velanche) * [3 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-check-failed-unable-to-use-social-service/#post-16676410) * One other thing; I did check the configuration for Sharing, and I do see that Facebook is linked to Pages I’ve created, but not to my personal FB wall. Can this be done? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Cookie Check Failed – Unable to Use Social Service](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-check-failed-unable-to-use-social-service/) * Thread Starter [velanche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/velanche/) * (@velanche) * [3 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cookie-check-failed-unable-to-use-social-service/#post-16676368) * Hello Cena; thanks for getting back to me! * Yes, I am still seeing the error message after clicking on the Jetpack link on the WP sidebar. When I was on the phone with Bluehost yesterday, the tech cleared the cache on its end, and I too have clicked on the option to delete the cache from the server, and the same with the browser cache. Still, no change. * Thanks for clarification on the Socials. It had been awhile since I checked the functionality of the postings, as my posts have been infrequent until recently. I did see the LinkedIn and Twitter seems to work fine. As for Facebook, when I saw that nothing posted, I disconnected and reconnected, but nothing today. What is causing the post to be skipped, and how can I resolve this? * All this is to say that perhaps the Social tools are working. Not seeing the “ social” options on the sidebar of the editor, including any notifications of socials that need refreshing, threw me off for a bit. How would I know when a refresh is needed? I did see the screenshot in your link, so will look for it, but not sure why it’s skipping posts except perhaps when I have deactivated my FB account for a few months. * Thanks, Cena! * V. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Looking for Specific Type of YouTube Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-specific-type-of-youtube-plugin/) * Thread Starter [velanche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/velanche/) * (@velanche) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-specific-type-of-youtube-plugin/#post-16623616) * [@abretado1985](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abretado1985/) Thanks so much for the recommendation. I actually installed it, and it works as advertised and posts nicely. The only thing that I need to figure out is to not have the thumbnails be used as “featured images” because they take over the default header of my WP theme. But I do like that the thumbnail and video are part of the posts. * I appreciate the help! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Looking for Specific Type of YouTube Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-specific-type-of-youtube-plugin/) * Thread Starter [velanche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/velanche/) * (@velanche) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-specific-type-of-youtube-plugin/#post-16615110) * Hey thanks, [@akramul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akramul/); I’ll test that one out, sometime in the next day or two. * [@george](https://wordpress.org/support/users/george/) – Looks like potential solutions, but gonna stick with plugins for now because they are self-contained and aren’t dependent on a third-party service, kinda like using my own cloud service instead of Dropbox. I appreciate your sharing though, so will keep them in mind if need be. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WPForms - Easy Form Builder for WordPress - Contact Forms, Payment Forms, Surveys, & More] reCAPTCHA Not Displayed on Contact Form](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recaptcha-not-displayed-on-contact-form/) * Thread Starter [velanche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/velanche/) * (@velanche) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recaptcha-not-displayed-on-contact-form/#post-15466214) * Greets Prashant: Thanks for getting back to me. * You are correct ab out the form; I’ve spent last night attempting to get another contact form plugin working, but have given up on it for the night. * I did replace the code with the same shortcode that I have been using for WPForms Lite, but weirdly this time, unlike the last several times I tried, the captcha info is now displayed. Not sure if it had anything to do with me finding out yesterday that I needed to increase both the PHP and WP memory limits, which I’ve done yesterday. Still, I could never get the captcha to appear, and that’s a good development. * However, for some strange reason, when I click on the Submit button, I get a message about a field that needs to be filled out, but it’s not visible. Also, the submission did not take. I seem to be close to resolving it, but not quite. * Thanks for checking up on this. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed – Easy Social Feeds Plugin] 6.04 Does Not Fix Display Issue](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/6-04-does-not-fix-display-issue/) * Thread Starter [velanche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/velanche/) * (@velanche) * [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/6-04-does-not-fix-display-issue/#post-15458313) * Hello Louis: Thanks so very much for getting back to me on resolving this issue. I am as delighted as can be to share with you that the AJAX fix, indeed, fixed the issue; the IG images have reappeared. * That’s one major item down; again, very appreciative of your assistance. * Best Wishes, V. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WPForms - Easy Form Builder for WordPress - Contact Forms, Payment Forms, Surveys, & More] WPForum and WP Site Admin Address](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpforum-and-wp-site-admin-address-2/) * Thread Starter [velanche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/velanche/) * (@velanche) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpforum-and-wp-site-admin-address-2/#post-15238459) * Okie doke. After I pulled away and calmed down, I went in to complete the Gmail process for WP SMTP Mail, and thankfully the instructions, like before, did as was written until the end. * Test message from the plugin was successfully sent, and now my contact form is working. I will need to test site-admin, as I added my Gmail address to the “ send email” area, but now I’m good to go. * Thanks for putting up with me. I’m sure to dive into the app more, in due course. * Best, V. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WPForms - Easy Form Builder for WordPress - Contact Forms, Payment Forms, Surveys, & More] WPForum and WP Site Admin Address](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpforum-and-wp-site-admin-address-2/) * Thread Starter [velanche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/velanche/) * (@velanche) * [4 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpforum-and-wp-site-admin-address-2/#post-15238357) * I followed the basic directions you’ve linked to for checking my WPForms installation. I did miss a few things, so thanks for that. * But I tried using my Gmail address for where why default email should go to, and even though it appeared that my test email was sent via the form, I did not receive it. I suspect that you could be right in that if I wish to use my Gmail address, there is another process. * And a few days ago, I started following directions on configuring WP Email SMTP, and it was such a long process, that I stopped after my Client ID was created, and decided to return to it, which I will do maybe tomorrow. This is a such a long process, that maybe I should have just created another address from my domain instead of using my Gmail, but it seems that since my site-admin email is also my Gmail address, that I’m guessing there’s some sort of filter, which is ridiculous and makes the process less than desirable to use. I am just ranting, but really this process should be a lot less painless. * Anyway, I’ll return to it when my mind is clear and I’m ready to tackle it again.

I will try it within the next few weeks, as some of the plugins are big deals to turn off (especially PowerPress, which I use for my podcasts). * Thanks for the suggestion; I will post an update on this.
