Hey MarkRDobbins,

Your link doesn’t seem to be showing the site.

But that’s cool. Did you try to upload an image/photo to your post as a Featured Image? You probably know how, but here’s a quick video in case you don’t:

Upload A Post Featured Image in WordPress

Hope that is of help.

Cheers! :)

It can certainly get scary when our client’s sites, aka our paycheck, is on the line!

Not really sure what you might have done, dannedude. We would have to see the code.

When you created and activated the child theme was everything working groovy like? Then, when you added a copy of the header.php file to your child theme (it was a copy from the parent theme, yes?) that is when things went south? I.e., “messed up”?

We would likely need to see a copy of the header.php file you were using in your child things when the site stopped behaving the way you wanted it to.

Cheers! :)

Hey Dannedude,

The best way to deal with this issue is to:

1. Make sure you are using a child theme so changes you make to the header.php file won’t get overwritten should the theme receive an update. And,
2. Create a new header.php file in your child theme folder (just create a copy from the parent theme) and then replace whatever code you find between the title tags in the head section. Like this:
   <title><?php whatever code you find in your existing theme ?></title>

   Replace that with:
   <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

If you have a specific requirement for a separator character, just place that character between the two ticks inside the parenthesis. Like this:

wp_title('|');

This is what I have to do on most of the sites which I install WordPress SEO. But I feel it’s worth it because it gives me control over those SEO aspects and takes it out of the realm of the theme.

Hope that helps.

Cheers 🙂

Hey carrnell,

I’m guessing the answer to your question is no considering this little snippet that I found on the Ari’s description page:

(the theme switches to a two-column layout when viewed on a horizontal iPad screen, and to a one-column layout on iPhones)

Advanced Search Widget might work for you depending upon how you are categorizing and tagging your articles.

The redirection plugin can be a little tricky to get just right. This is how you’d set up the redirect for the former About page:

Source URL: /about/
Target URL: http://phoenixhealingarts.net/about-mimi-rhys
HTTP Code: 301

Try that and see if they work for you.

Good for you Snowyn!

One thing I’d suggest now that you are “good” is to make sure you create redirects for the search engines. Do you have a Google Webmaster Tools account? If those former 404 pages were listed in the Google search index, they are going to show as broken. You’ll want to get in there and make sure you show Google that you have “fixed” the problem.

And you’ll likely want to use a plugin like Redirection to point the old pages to their new, working counterparts. Or not, if those 404s don’t show up in GWT!

Cheers!

@snowyn What Mika said :/

Thought I’d already asked that. Upon review I realize it was another thread. Bad Jimbo 🙁

LOL
