    Hello everyone, I have been handed a job of looking after our work website. The previous company have made a few mistakes and I have been given the task of cleaning and setting up proper SEO as we have no page ranking with google.

    I downloaded the same theme (iTheme 1-1) and have customised it locally to match the site online. I have created a static home and allowed the blog to appear on another section all with a little research.

    But when looking at our current site online not all the URLs display the correct title, the blog page has a Data base quary. I have checked the permlinks and they are setup to Day and Name which is correct. AFter a little investigating I noticed they have hardcoded the site links in the navigation, where as my local site is generated.
    here is the current header.php code online code:

    <div id=”page”>
    <div id=”wrapper”>
    <div id=”header”>
    <h1>“>
    <?php // bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
    </h1>
    <div class=”description”>
    <?php // bloginfo(‘description’); ?>
    </div>
    <?php // include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>
    </div>
    <!– /header –>
    <div id=”left-col”>
    <div id=”nav”>

      <!–<li class=”page_item current_page_item”>
      Home –>
      <li class=”page_item page-item-55″>Home
      <li class=”page_item page-item-49″>Blog
      <li class=”page_item page-item-14″>Clients
      <li class=”page_item page-item-540″>Case Studies
      <li class=”page_item cat-8″>Social Stuff
      <li class=”page_item page-item-572″>Awards
      <li class=”page_item page-item-592″>Contact Us

    </div>

    where as mine, is using this code:

    <body>
    <div id=”page”>
    <div id=”wrapper”>
    <div id=”header”>

    <!–
    <h1>“><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>

    <div class=”description”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></div>
    –>

    <!–searchform was here–>

    </div>
    <!– /header –>

    <div id=”left-col”>
    <div id=”nav”>

      <!–<li class=”page_item <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } ?>”> /” title=”Home”>Home–>

      <?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=’);?>

    </div><!– /nav –>

    the current website is http://www.steam-uk.com

    Now Im a slight novice when it comes to wordpress, so hopefully someone could help with some advice on how to change this or just to get the URL titles correct so I can sort out the SEO Problems…

    sorry for the long post
