Changelog
On this page, you’ll find the latest incremental updates to The Authority Site System.
This covers updates which aren’t necessarily brand new or updated lessons, but rather small tweaks and edits made to existing content in the course.
Associated Lesson
Change
We have added a warning regarding reported quality issues.
Reason
Numerous students have noted disappointing results from WordAgents recently. We are currently reviewing the situation, but would like to pre-warn members as they go into this process.
Associated Lesson
GeneratePress – Installing GeneratePress & GenerateBlocks
Change
Clarity around activating modules
Reason
In a recent update, a number of modules are now activated by default and you will not see the option to activate them in the same way Gael does. We have added clarity around this to the lesson.
Associated Lesson
Change
Information on Bunny CDN has been added
Reason
If you opt to install Bunny CDN later on in the course, it is best practice to disable SiteGrounds CDN to avoid any conflicts.

We’ve updated this page to make it easier to navigate your available discounts.
Associated Lesson
Change

Associated Lesson
All Lessons
Change
We have added multiple notifications on how to consume fewer Ahrefs credits throughout the course.

Associated Lesson
Change
Information on Bunny.net and Elementor incompatibilities have been added
Reason
The latest version of Elementor has caused issues with Bunny.net. We’ve added steps to resolve this within the lesson notes.
Associated Lesson
Change
Information on the CafeMedia update has been added.
Reason
This lesson previously recommended using disclaimers containing the word CafeMedia to find affiliate sites. CafeMedia is now known as Raptive, meaning these disclaimers are out of date. An updated disclaimer has been added.
Associated Lesson
[Advanced/Optional] Expired Domains
Change
More detail on the advanced nature of this lesson has been added.
Reason
While Expired domains are indeed a lucrative opportunity to speed up some of the processes, we have made it clearer that this is not recommended for people with minimal experience. Unfortunately, due to the time-consuming, high-stakes nature of this process, we are also reminding members that our support team does not have the capacity to assist with Expired Domain purchases and vetting and they should only proceed if they feel comfortable completing this process themself.
Associated Lesson
Change
Information on FEInternationals New UI Has Been Added
Reason
FEInternational has significantly updated its UI since the video was shot in this lesson. Fortunately, all the same information is still available, but it requires a few different steps. These have been documented in the lesson notes for people to follow along.
Associated Lesson
Change
Information on additional Ahrefs Credits has been added
Reason
We have included additional information on Ahrefs Credit usage so that users are able to anticipate and budget better using Ahrefs. We have spent countless hours looking at alternative, cheaper solutions throughout June but have concluded that even with price rises, Ahrefs remains the best Feature/Cost ratio.
Associated Lesson
Change
Cost Sheet Updated
Reason
We have updated the cost sheet to reflect price rises across a number of tools. The overall increases are minimal, but this should help people better set their expectations.
Associated Lesson
Change
A list of resources for AI and its impact on the Internet marketing industry has been added to this lesson.
Reason
While we intend to address AI in The Authority Site System at a wider level in the future, these resources have been added to give students a better understanding of what’s changing and how it impacts them.

Our old Analytics lesson named “Analytics Setup – Now Defunct” has been removed from the course
