Back to Bigfoot Eruption LLC Stuff, main page…
April 25, 2025
We have surgery for a gall bladder stone in late June 2025 so we are waiting for that time period to commit to one month of professional web design help. We will get one hour per day for onempnth.
Top Concerns:
Why doesn’t the Bigfoot Eruption menu allow us to alter/update the drop-down menu?
Is it because we have so many pages already? Over 1,200 so is there a limit? None of our other sites have this problem, but they don’t have nearly as many pages.
We want to compare the other menus in the other sites to see the difference. Will be able to tell what is different enough to make a change?
Answer: They confirmed that the drop-down menu is failing because it is too big. Too many drop down tabs.
We loved having all the drop-down tabs because it helped us manage the site. So, we had to create a new menu that was a skeleton compared to what we wanted. Example: Now if we want to update something like, putting a new podcast link in “Sasquatch Podcast Library (Utah),” but instead of just going to it, we have to flick on the Mountain Region first, then click on Utah, and then click on Sasquatch Podcast Library (Utah), what a pain!
This created a whole new problem…
We created subsites to take on the new content instead of making the current site too much bigger. This meant creating a new format. Bigfoot Eruption was based on everything being based on what region it was from.in. Now the chance of failing is high. Evidence Eruption is flawed when I try to create new region sections that are meant to be linked back to Bigfoot Eruption. Example: We feel we can’t create new pages in Bigfoot Eruption, so make them in Evidence Eruption, and link them to the sections they belong to in Bigfoot Eruption. We feel we are causing new unexpected problems.
But all we have to do is learn from it. We will work on it.

Why doesn’t our fulfillment shop let us add new products?
This problem has haunted us for over a year now. We can order the current products. Sometimes we order something just to make sure it is working.
Why is no one buying for our online stores?
Making each page better?
Monetizing?
Fix Donation feature?
Create a member email system?
Advice on structing the websites better?
We learn as we do it, as we build the sites, so it may not look as it should. And then eliminating or restructuring a section does not work because then you have a gap in the ability for every link to actually work.
Evidence Eruption is a good example as we struggled to create the right categories; thus, putting things in odd places.
One problem is that Bigfoot Eruption was structured to be regional. We did not want to duplicate that, but how then do we do it? To be different; meaning, Bigfoot Eruption the main site got too big, so making categories for each State and Country is redundant and not a good way to keep the number of web pages down.
Instead, have categories, like “Bigfoot Researchers” in a section called Bigfoot Researchers. Actually, we still need to make a section for that. Then we can link each of those pages to the State or Country they represent in the Bigfoot Eruption main site. So, we just created a new resource (a source) to feed links into the main site Bigfoot Eruption.

This next problem has happened off and on for at least a year now, but is most prevalent when trying into bigfooteruption.com/evidenceeruption…
We log into Bluehost and select the website that we want to work on. Instead of going to the dashboard in that site it instead puts up a login for the Worpress site. This is not helpful as the Worpress site is just for a few basic managerial decisions but has nothing to do with the designing of the website. If you login to WordPress, you don’t get to do the designing. So, why?
We will need to do another Instant Chat for help.

Suddenly none of our sites would let us log in to do website management. The answer on the Instant Chat:
“We cleared all of your login history there were too many.”
Hey, it worked.
April 23, 2024
Our subsite “Evidence Eruption” would not let us login in to manage. We would log into Bluehost and when we would select this subsite it would not let us go there.
On the Instant Chat it was fixed. We asked what was done and the response did not get recorded by us, but it was like Greek to us. So, we had to just be happy that it was better.
