Move Weebly Website to WordPress

In the past I dismissed ideas from my clients about the possibilities of moving their websites from Weebly to WordPress.

My dismissal of such inquiries had nothing to do with the effectiveness of WordPress which is quite obvious.

My primary reason for such dismissals were centered around the understanding that compared to Weebly, WordPress was much harder to use especially by clients who were/are very particular about being able to manage, edit and update the websites on their own.

I was against those intentions because it went contrary to what they (client) kept requesting for which was to help then build a website that they can easily manage and update on their own.

How To Protect Weebly Website With Password

There are a number of reasons to make a website password protected. One of the major reasons is usually to restrict everyone from having access to the website thereby making the website accessible only to few people with the password.

Password protection in Weebly can be applied site-wide or to individual pages.

Site-wide Password Protection For Weebly Websites

By site-wide password application we mean setting the password to protect the whole website so that no part of the website (including pages, blog posts, products, files, etc.) can accessed without a password.

This method of password protection can also be called “full password protection” and is particularly helpful in situations where the website in question is not meant for public use, or the website is under development/updates, and so on…

Un-publish or Deactivate A Weebly Website

By un-publishing a Weebly website we mean deactivating the website so that it is no longer online which means can no longer be viewed.

There are a number of reasons you might want to un-publish your Weebly website, it could be because:

  • you published it by mistake (before you are ready to take the website public),
  • you are temporarily deactivating it,
  • you finished a new website and want that domain pointed to that new website,
  • some changes in your business that requires a rethink of the website, etc.

Avoid Publishing Weebly Website By Mistake

One of the disadvantages of the Weebly website builder is an inability to undo changes made. This of course is due to the fact that after all these years, Weebly is yet to introduce an “undo button” which would allow its users to revert to previous version after making some changes.

The undo button is very useful in building websites and most (if not all) online publications because we are prone to mistakes which can be rectified by simply hitting the “undo” button.

Create Custom 404 Weebly Page

A 404 page also known as “Page Note Found” is an error page that a website user is shown when trying to access a website URL that no longer exist.

A website URL might no longer exist if that URL has been deleted, renamed, or moved without a redirect created for that URL.

In such cases, trying to access that URL will return a 404 error which indicates that such URL was not found or no longer exist.

How to fix Uppercase For Weebly Sub Menus

There are lots of reasons you might want to have your website pages appear in bold letters, usually to match your logo or business branding.

This article will focus on how to capitalize the Weebly menu and sub menu without having to go page-by-page to type with caps lock on.

For those familiar with Weebly, you must have noticed that you can turn on “Uppercase” option for the menu via the Fonts panel. This option unfortunately only capitalizes the main menu but doesn’t capitalize the sub pages (or drop down menus).

This means that we can easily capitalize the Weebly main menu but we need to do a little more work to capitalize the sub menus.
