I don't think 'vacation' quite covers it. Millions of people are in quarantine or self-isolation in China. Whole cities being told that no one is allowed to leave the house, thousands of livestock perishing because the farmers are in lockdown and can't feed them, US military preparing quarantine...

John Hopkins CSSE has a better map of the current situation in China. Here is the link if you would like to stay informed: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 It is updated daily - unlike Google Earth. I don't care that you don't...

I lived in Hong Kong for 15 years. I am very familiar with the size of China. In case you don't know, Wuhan is the capital of Hubei province not the name of the province itself. The virus is currently affecting provinces across the entire country although the worst hit is indeed Hubei. For...

No, it is not only you. I would rather stop taking sales now and wait for things to get better than be lambasted on social media by angry customers who don't receive their stuff. I also just don't want to disappoint clients that I hope will stick with me for a long time. The people on the...

It's not that I am uptight about the virus. This was my first Christmas doing dropshipping and it was a disaster. Christmas items that were due latest 10 dec, arriving weeks later. Items ordered for gifts not arriving in time for the big day. It fairly took the wind out of my sails. So much so...

I don't believe that any virus would survive the shipping times but I am not confident on the product getting shipped at all. Christmas shipping was shockingly bad and that was before the virus. With all they have on their plate right now, I don't think shipping mugs to US is going to be high...

I agree with @akarpun that this is important. Consistent footer across store and blog and widgetized sidebar would both be excellent.

I don't know if this just auto-updated but my entire site has disappeared! omg. It just came back. 10 mins of panic.

Hi Mar, Thank you. I was not seeing that screen at all. In the end, I contacted Aliexpress and a very helpful agent walked me through the probem.

Yippee, like the title says, I made my first sale. It is a small item, under $10, but still, I am happy to have had this little nibble. I purchased my license for ALDS original on July 27, 2019 and installed it on a year-old domain. The site was quite inactive, but it did have a little traction...

My store is new and I am new to dropshipping. I have just arranged for someone to go through the purchase process on the site to buy a small item so I can run through the steps before I start making hundreds of sales a day. Yes, okay, wishful thinking but better I should know if there are any...

@Sobbee, Look at your store SEO. Even the meta title on your main page is simply the domain name. Aim for every page on your site to have a meta title and description unique to that page. Your products take the meta title from the product title which will work in most cases but your product...

Hi, I have this question too. I have GSuite and the Alidropship original plugin gives SMTP as an option. I have set up a Web API in Google and I can receive test emails from WP Email SMTP, but it all goes pear-shaped when trying to set up notifications.

The blog section should be more customizable too. Especially the footer. Why have it look so different from the store? I have worked around this with Divi Builder too but ideally, future generations of original Alidropship themes will include a more 'builder' oriented functionality or at least...

100% gets my vote. Have worked around with Divi Builder plugin.
