In today's episode we're chatting in regards to WordPress updates . 

Why are there so many?  
Why do we need to keep on top of them and 
What are some  tips to help you tackle frequent WordPress Updates. 

Backups and updates are part of maintenance for every WordPress website owner
However it can understandably be confronting with lots of updates coming through.

There are things you can do to mitigate risks, but most importantly, know that as long as you've got regular backups of your site and you learn how to reinstate it, you won't lose your site. 

If in doubt and you need a hand please feel free to reach out. 
I host a weekly Q&A call for WordPress + Tech Help on Zoom designed to support non-techies with WordPress. For less than a few $ a day.

In today's episode,  we're talking about how to go about moving your WordPress website or migrating your WordPress website.   

Recently had a chat with one of my lovelies, in regards to how we tackle this obstacle. She's had problems with her developer and the performance of her website, it's costing her too much and she wanted to know  how we go about migrating a WordPress website from one hosting provider to another. 


We talked about the 3 different possibilities. 
I added in an added extra about options available if you've lost access, or you've had a website online in the past, but it's been shut down and the potential of salvage some of that website.  Whilst we can't restore a site without a backup of some variety, we can rebuild and use  archived versions of the site to guide us . 

As always if you need a hand with WordPress + Tech, I'd love you to reach out - Check out The NCD Tech Sessions membership for weekly live calls with me on Zoom.  https://bit.ly/ncd-tnts

In this episode  we're chatting about DOMAIN NAMES also known as Website Addresses or URLs.    

•  Is it possible to have  more than one domain pointed to your WordPress Website?
• Why you'd want multiple domains
• How do you connect the dots?  
• Ways you can tackle issues if there's a typing error in the domain name  given out for a publication.  
  
  For example your main website might be nataliecrowedesigns.com.au but the publication lists nataliecrowe-designs.com.au    - What options you have to correct that.
• Using domain names to make it easier to  your audience to find you.
• Setting up a domain to point to your Facebook Group

And so much more!

Today's episode covers a pet peeve of mine for the industry.   After 14+ years in a male dominated tech industry (no shade to those developers with integrity)  however  more often than not,  I see many non-techies who have fallen victim to fear mongering tactics of developers and  put in a position where they feel the only option is to pay a fortune to get their site developed, or even just  get help.

Because of the unknown, deal with subpar services or continually be told "tech IS complex" and made to believe it's too hard to  DIY, particularly if you are a non-techie.

I call garbage on it, and call a spade a spade.

No left-handed screwdrivers in sight!

If you are a non-techie, You most certainly can  build, maintain and improve your own website.   You can learn WordPress and Tech.   You do have plenty of options available and this doesn't have to be a massive obstacle.

Having the freedom to make changes when you need,  the knowledge to take care of your site,  and ability to be able to make the most of WordPress. 

I'm here to empower and guide you along the way and help make it possible for you to ditch that dodgy WordPress Developer and tackle your tech your way.

You've got this!  If you need a hand with WordPress feel free to head over to the WordPress Help Hub on Facebook

In this episode we're chatting in regards to what's needed if you ever run into the situation where you and your Developer need to part ways or you need to move your WordPress website to another hosting provider. 

I specialise in Self Hosted WordPress Websites rather than those held at WordPress[dot]com . It is possible to migrate your content from  .com however that's another conversation.  This is for those who pay hosting to another company other than WordPress[dot]com 

We'll be discussing what options are available  depending on what level of access you have. 

Levels of access include:  

• Full Access to your Hosting &  your WordPress Dashboard
• No access to hosting but Administrators access to WordPress Dashboard
• No Access at all - the site has gone offline -  options to explore 

We also touch on: 

• Hosting Backups
• Having your new hosting company migrate your site & emails for you.   
• WordPress Plugin Backups 
• Web Archive   /  The Way Back Machine website  

If you need a hand exploring your options -   reach out - https://www.ncdacademy.com.au/contact
