    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><a href="<?php // echo get_settings('home'); ?>">
    <?php // bloginfo('name'); ?>
    </a></h1>
  <div class="description">
    <?php // bloginfo('description'); ?>
  </div>
  <?php // include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>
</div>
<!-- /header -->
<div id="left-col">
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<!--<li class="page_item current_page_item">
<a href="/" title="Welcome...">Home</a></li> -->
<li class="page_item page-item-55"><a title="Home" href="http://www.steam-uk.com">Home</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-49"><a title="Blog" href="http://www.steam-uk.com/?page_id=49">Blog</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-14"><a title="Clients" href="http://www.steam-uk.com/?page_id=14">Clients</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-540"><a title="Case Studies" href="http://www.steam-uk.com/?page_id=540">Case Studies</a></li>
<li class="page_item cat-8"><a title="Social Stuff" href="http://www.steam-uk.com/?cat=8">Social Stuff</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-572"><a title="Awards" href="http://www.steam-uk.com/?page_id=572">Awards</a></li>
<li class="page_item page-item-592"><a title="Contact Us" href="http://www.steam-uk.com/?page_id=592">Contact Us</a></li>
        </ul></div>

    where as mine, is using this code:

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

<!--
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>

      <div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
-->

<!--searchform was here-->

    </div>
    <!-- /header -->

    <div id="left-col">
      <div id="nav">
        <ul>
          <!--<li class="page_item <?php if ( is_home() ) { ?>current_page_item<?php } ?>">    <a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/" title="Home">Home</a></li>-->

		  <?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&depth=1&title_li=');?>
        </ul>
      </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
