Sure! I don't use hostinger, but here is a link to their support doc on migration; support.hostinger.com/en/articles/4455931-how-to-migrate-a-website-to-hostinger
stop using too much cuts on video. It's irritating

Thanks for your explanations, can you please make a playlist and assemble geodirectory videos in it? Also i would really appreciate if you can make a video about booking marketplace add on from GD, thanks 🙏🏼
You're welcome! I actually already have a playlist for GeoDirectory videos, and you can view it here: th-cam.com/play/PLmUhpM0vsFns7JJ-CyGw4fRaQRIsO_4FA.html I haven't worked with the Booking Marketplace add on yet, but I'll get it on my list to research. Thanks!

Is there a way to charge a one time set up fee?
Yep! Just go to CPT settings, click packages, edit the package you want to add the one time fee to, set the price, set the lifetime, but turn off the "is recurring?" option
I'm wondering about long term registrations. On Porkbun there is the 10 YEAR OPTION! I could choose it now; pay the fees; expect to be clear of the renewal issue for the next decade ... however, what happens if Porkbun goes belly-up in say 5 years? Anyone have a guess what happens to "paid up" domain registrations in such a scenario?
ICANN accredited domain name registrar, so it's as safe as any other registrar. I can't say exactly what would happen in that situation, but I would assume it would be something similar to when Google Domains closed. Everyone got moved to another registrar. This article may be helpful for you: www.buycompanyname.com/registrar-out-of-business/ Porkbun has been around since 2014 though, and has been growing in popularity, so I feel comfortable with my domain names there.
I was setting up GetPaid today and was a little excited when I saw your face in their documentation. I shouldn't have been, though, since you and one other channel have been my go to whenever I need to figure out anything with getting my GeoDirectory website up and running. Your instruction has been much better than the documentation offered by the plugins😉
How to get to google domain tho
Unfortunately, Google Domains doesn't exist anymore
Thank you very much its a lot easier now. Can you add food menu choices ?
Hi! I'm actually in the process of making an updated video for this topic since this video is 2 years old, so I don't remember it exactly, but I would assume there's a place to do that with the RSVPs
I am new to using WordPress, so this may be a silly question. I don't know how the different plugins interact when they are plugged in. In the video you said you don't link Ninja forms - which is what geodirectory suggests, so I assume you have another form plugin. Did it automatically work together or did you have to do additional configuration to connect them?
Not a silly question! That's right. Lots of time plugins will recommended companion plugins they work well with automatically (like GeoDirectory and Ninja Forms), but if you wanted to use a different one you still could, but it would need extra configuration

Folks , any idea how to market a plugin. I could not find a better platform to ask this question . I have a plugin approved and available in plugin directory.
Hi there , I have created a AI bot plugin. It is approved and available for installation in wordpress plugin directory . I was wondering what is the most effective way to market it ?
Hi! I would suggest making TH-cam tutorials for it 🙂
Hello! I'm new to learning about hosting. If I want to create my own domain, is this applicable with Clouways, or would I need to purchase the domain elsewhere and port it?
Hi Samantha! You would need to buy your domain name somewhere else, a domain registrar, and then point the settings to Cloudways. This video will show you how to point the settings. My favorite domain registrar is Porkbun, and I have a video showing how to buy a domain name there here: th-cam.com/video/kl3a76CBwX4/w-d-xo.html
how about the size as in the kb size instead?
If you right click on Chrome, and then choose 'Inspect' you can hover over the link in the code and it will tell that size
Thank you! :)

Do i have to wait 60 days until i can transferr my domain?
Unfortunately yes, but that's a policy with all domain registrars, not just Porkbun
Hi, I found that a client has ordered and then when I try to found the transaction I find the status draft. I don't understand what happened is there something has missed up in the order or the transaction? Help please
Hi there, I'm not sure about your specific situation, but I did a quick search, and it looks like that happens when the order was submitted, but not paid. This page may help you out more: woocommerce.com/document/managing-orders/order-statuses/
Hey, Thanks for these tutorials. I have a question though, Im on a 4 months membership plan on Geodirectory. My site is all done and working great. I have a few more weeks for the membership to end. If i choose not to extend the membership, Will i be able to add more listings after that? Incase one day the site needs an urgent update, can i take the membership then and update the plugins/theme? Please help me as im very confused. Thanks ❤
Hi, thanks! I'm glad you like my videos ☺ After your GeoDirectory membership is up, you won't be able to update your plugins anymore. It probably won't stop working right away, and you should still be able to add more listings, but eventually you'll probably lose features, and possibly have security issues. Like most premium plugins, you should be able to update again when you restart your membership later, but I don't recommend that, because fixing issues later often ends up being more expensive than just keeping things updated and secure the whole time.
Hi there!! :) is it possible to consider mult currency over wp ultimo checkout by geolocation? :)

What a terrible video. Already got a headache because of the constantly changjng image on the right hand side
Hi Bob, thanks for your feedback. Is it just the moving graphic that made you dislike the video so much? Or was there something I didn't cover that you would like me to go into more in another video? I take a lot of time to record these videos to be helpful, and if they aren't hitting the mark, I'd love to know how I can improve.
I have watching 4 videos but nobody explain how after delegate the access how to set up the web site. :(
Hi! This is just domain access. Building a website is a whole different process. You'll need hosting for that
very helpful video. thank you, Nicole!
You're welcome! Happy I could help
it looks diferent and it,s so confusing!
Hi! This video is actually 2 years old, and I'm sure they've updated their process since then. I'll get it on my list to record an updated video, though it will probably be a while
I got majorly hosed in June. Four of six domains on my single plan came up with "A critical error . . . " and only two were possible for myself or the hosting service to rectify to something like it was before. So this video reinforces for me that sites need a constant commitment to tend to them, even if no one asks me to update their content for months and months. The attitude of "don't fix it if it's not broken" clearly doesn't apply to websites.
Exactly! You really want to think of it like a car or home maintenance.
Nice Videos
