I thought I could just download it and follow easy instructions, but they're dashboards are asking for things that I have no idea what they are.</p> <p>I'm truly a noob when it comes to all of this.</p> <p>Can you please help me? I desperately need Search Engine Optimization to drive traffic to my site. How do I implement these plugins optimally? Are these plugins sufficient to do the job? If not, do you recommend another avenue?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Chaz </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/329467#post-1273980 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:57:10 +0000 kricfale 1273980@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>This is my first post to this forum. I did a search re. my issue but didn't find anything.</p> <p>I'm building a WP site on a Yahoo host using the Thesis theme.</p> <p><a href="http://www.elizabethkricfalusi.com/blog" rel="nofollow">www.elizabethkricfalusi.com/blog</a></p> <p>The site currently only includes static pages and I have a couple parent/child situations, e.g. How to Help &gt; Donate.</p> <p>I have set the Thesis design options so that the parent nav link and background colors are the same as the child ones. So, for example, if I'm on Donate, I want the How to Help nav item to have white text on a green background. However, that's not happening. It seems like the How to Help page is not being assigned the current-parent class.</p> <p>I asked about this in the Thesis forums and nobody was sure of what was causing the problem. However, one person suggested it might be related to the Yahoo Customizable Permalinks plugin and that it's causing WP to not recognize the parent category if permalinks aren't configured a certain way. But she didn't have an idea of how to solve it.</p> <p>I wonder if anyone here has experienced the same problem and found a solution to it? I tried installing some other permalink plugins and deactivating the Yahoo one, but that only resulted in the URLs breaking.</p> <p>I'm also not clear on how the permalink structure applies to static pages, since the default URLs generated don't reflect it at all.</p> <p>Thanks for any help you can provide. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/253933#post-1261921 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:25:56 +0000 bh_WP_fan 1261921@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>CaseyChesh: What problems are you having, and what is your domain name?

Yahoo support claimed that it was because my theme was too old or that my plug-ins were not current. However, I have two separate sites and it happened to both of them. I upgraded all of my plug-ins and there was no change. My themes could not be upgraded.</p> <p>I panicked, because I would have had to convert numerous posts into pages and then fix the hyperlinks. My estimate is that it would have taken 4 or 5 days of work.</p> <p>I solved the problem by using the p2pConverter plug-in, available here:<br /> <a href="http://www.briandgoad.com/blog/downloads/p2pconverter/" rel="nofollow">http://www.briandgoad.com/blog/downloads/p2pconverter/</a></p> <p>Amazingly, I did not need to update my hyperlinks. It took about 1.5 hours for both sites. I just clicked 'convert to page' on each post that I knew to be a page and the hyperlinks were properly restored.</p> <p>If this has happened to you, give it a try. I am EXTREMELY grateful. Yahoo did not help at all after a few hours of phone calls and this plug-in resolved my issue within the same amount of time. No thanks to Yahoo. Many thanks to Wordpress! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/316470#post-1230454 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:03:52 +0000 marcal63 1230454@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Please help!!!<br /> I will insert my sitemap meta tags from Yahoo and bing, then soon after i get my site verified with Bing and Yahoo the meta tag has been written out of the script. i am not sure but I thiink this causing my site to bounce up and down and sometimes not show up at all.<br /> Thanks for helping </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/215387#post-1229976 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 07:33:40 +0000 quest13 1229976@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi, I am using 2.8.4 of wordpress. I want to know why wordpress is throwing a warning message when i try to keep my 'Front Page display' (Settings/Reading)to show as a static page by keeping both Front page and Post page the same one ? </p> <p>What is the reason for the warning message of "these pages should not be the same!" ?</p> <p>However, If I want to keep like this anyway, is there any solution to it ?</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/295972#post-1216100 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:20:43 +0000 Anonymous 1216100@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>This is a fabulous post.

The site redirected to some junky euro sites. I went through the FAQ and cleaned the directory out after backing up the table on the database.</p> <p>The problem is now two things:<br /> 1: WordPress is a blank page, admin/root folder/everything. I can't get in, and have reuploaded the files manually half a dozen times.</p> <p>2: PHPMyAdmin cannot start a session without errors. Since reinstalling it through the Yahoo "admin interface", I've had problems.</p> <p>The log file says:<br /> '[16-Sep-2009 13:32:12] PHP Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp/sess_6cfcb7422e560bf980084bc0ee5d6c93, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /phpMA/libraries/session.inc.php on line 87</p> <p>[16-Sep-2009 13:32:12] PHP Warning: Unknown(): open(/tmp/sess_6cfcb7422e560bf980084bc0ee5d6c93, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0</p> <p>[16-Sep-2009 13:32:12] PHP Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files).

I'd probably use an e-mail for that...and I'd rather prefer sending the password in the same mail instead of sending it separately.

I am using Wordpress as part of my Yahoo Merchant Solutions account and I had to perform the upgrade install manually. Now none of my posts show up in Internet Explorer. They show up fine in FireFox if I set my Permalinks to the default with the post #, but if I change my Permalinks to any other setting my posts don't show up in FireFox either. I have searched in both my File Manager in Yahoo and through my FTP software (FileZilla) and I cannot find a .htaccess file anywhere. I created one in Notepad and named it 1.htaccess, FTP'd it to my root WordPress directory and then tried to rename it to .htaccess but I get an error message in my Yahoo File Manager that says "Rename failed for 1.htaccess.txt<br /> --- Invalid filename".</p> <p>I see numerous posts about similar issues but most of these are unresolved. Could someone please help? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298764#post-1168703 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 14:48:03 +0000 whooami 1168703@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>As an end user, you have very little, if any, control over what yahoo or postini (google, hotmail, etc.. flags as spam.</p> <p>Be content that its actually going through at all, and ask your users to check their spam folders. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/298764#post-1168550 Sun, 09 Aug 2009 08:44:41 +0000 nikhil010586 1168550@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Recently, I set up a WordPress Blog on a public IP and got it working. I want this to be used by a known set of people and hence, I won't open the registrations for all. Due to the above, I tried registering the users manually with their respective e-mail addresses. Everything worked fine except for the fact that the Account details that go in an e-mail to the registered user are being marked as spam. I have checked this on Gmail and Yahoo as yet.</p> <p>Is there a way in which I can get these notifications through the spam filters? In near future, I'm planning to register some more users and I don't think it would be a good idea to spend some more time sending them emails manually just to make sure that their account details reach them. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/297868#post-1165468 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:30:59 +0000 kmessinger 1165468@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Bing and Google are the same grabbing from site description in meta.</p> <p>Yahoo seems to be grabbing from meta, all in one CEO and your footer.</p> <p>If you turn off all in one does it still happen?
