In reply to: [ACF Option Pages] Option page does not show contentJust quick note that ACF 5.5.2 is the latest version it wouldn’t effect this plugin directly but if your site had some database problem upgrading might fix it you should have prompt to upgrade at this point from the 5.4.8 you mentioned is in place now.

In reply to: [ACF Option Pages] Option page does not show contentCan you clarify when you say “i wanted to add another option” you mean you’re adding a new Options Page? And what does “found this admin-page empty” mean. What admin page is empty? Are you referring to the new Options Page?
When you first make a new Options Page it should show up in the admin menu with the title you specified. At this point there is no ACF field group associated, so if you visit that page it will be empty and have the notice from ACF: No Custom Field Groups found for this options page. Create a Custom Field Group.
If you’re visiting an Options Page you already created, and no ACF fields are showing there I’d visit the field group settings in ACF and check if it’s associated with the correct options page?

In reply to: [Registration Honeypot] Honeypot Field Not HiddenI should add we are using WC (WooCommerce) login for the registration. I looked into this plugin and the action login_head() is used to output the display: none CSS. Maybe login_head would not be called by WC registration?
I suppose I can just add the CSS manually, but I wonder if the other hooks used will run or not with WC registration, or WC social login? Any thoughts on that?
Thanks.

In reply to: [ACF Frontend display] Seems like not to work with ACF PRO versionGrzegorz, message me if you want the code (for ACF Pro) as it works without activation. The license is only to get updates, so once you have code you can use the version you have on any site.

In reply to: [SlimStat Analytics] Problem with linksGot what would seem to be the same issue on http://cochrane.equityonyourside.com and other sites. Only affects chrome, and only affects external (http://) links. Click the link, nothing happens at all.
Temporary fix is to add “noslimstat” so that SlimStat skips the link, which I believe means so tracking of the click but at least we can use hyperlinks… what would the web be like if we can’t even use hyperlinks. Might as well go back to reading newspapers. Thanks SlimStat, you’ve broken the entire internets.
Yes I’m also seeing that validation error. Not sure if Ninja is using rel somehow but they seem to increment it for each field produced. We might be stuck with it for now?
Right now we use ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) for this reason. Pods is interesting, but it’s got to catchup. Rarely do we have a situation where we don’t need repeating fields.

In reply to: How can I improve my website?I didn’t notice the tags at first, okay well for a tag page like this http://tafkaga.com/tag/takashi-shimura/ you’d want to have maybe 4-5 posts using that tag. So look at that over time as you grow the content base, how many of your tags are really getting used across multiple posts. That goes back to focus around a topic, it’s better to have a few posts with common tags than lots of tags with only 1 post.
The title of the post is usually shown as an H1 tag. In your theme it seems to be an H3 tag in the header. I’d want to edit the post template to put an H1 tag in there. Generally the post title should be in an H1, then your headers are all H2 and if you have subheaders those are H3.
On a post like this: http://tafkaga.com/drama-movies/ikiru-1952/ you should have headers above each block of text. That’s not only important for SEO it’s how people read, they don’t read the body text most of the time. They scan headers, reading the body text if the header is interesting. No headers means no readers, no SEO, nothing.
Let’s suppose the keyword for that post is “Kanji Watanabe”. Here is an example of adding some headers to that post with the keyword:
Kanji Watanabe Finds Out He Has Six Months to Live
After finding out he has only six months left to live, bureaucrat Kanji Watanabe (Takashi Shimura) takes an introspective look at his wasted life and sets out to discover the best way to spend his remaining time. Here, director Akira Kurosawa reminds us that life is brief, and that today will never come again.Kanji Watanabe as a Man to Pity
In the opening sequence, we are introduced to Kanji Watanabe, an ordinary bureaucrat, who for 30 years has meandered through the day to day routine of ineffectual busyness, never reaching or even imagining beyond the humdrum of his uninspired existence. We feel pity for this man, even contempt, until the more discerning of us recognize that we are all Kanji Watanabe, at least in the beginning of the film. From there, Watanabe begins to set himself apart from us, as he is fortunate enough to experience that ultimate collision that awakens him from his self-induced slumber and drives him out of his mediocrity to find purpose and embrace life.The Profound Transformation of Kanji Watanabe
The profoundness of this film becomes apparent in the polarizing effect that Watanabe’s metamorphosis has on the people around him. Not satisfied that a man can simply make up his mind to transcend mediocrity and aspire to more, they seek a reasonable explanation for his behavior. Once they have invented that explanation, they are more easily able to discredit it and go back to feeling safe and comfortable in their insignificance. This is why the narrator presents Watanabe to us as a hero, not because he decides to make his remaining days count for something, but because he is leading the way for all of us, especially those of us who still have an entire lifetime ahead of us to waste.Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: How can I improve my website?For me the site seemed to load slowly. I’d look into testing it with some tools like Google PageSpeed http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
Slowness can be a negative factor for SEO, obviously the bigger issue is it’s a big negative for users.
Your blog posts are where you should focus on getting rankings. Install WordPress SEO by Yoast. It will tell you if the basic SEO factors are met by your post right in the WP admin when you are writing.
A few specific issues right now:
1) Lack of tags. Use tags to create context but also to make tag pages which have the potential for rankings.
2) Lack of categories. Similar idea as tags you will end up with pages that have multiple posts listed but also it gives context to your blog and creates links back and forth between related posts.
3) Headings. Your blog posts have either no headings at all or you’re not using keywords in the headings consistently. If you’re goal is to rank for “The Ultimate Warrior” then you need to have that exact keyword or variation in several <h2> headers.
4) Pick a keyword. WP by Yoast will help you do that, it requires you to enter a specific keyword for every post. Once you pick a keyword, then you can see if that post is really optimized for that keyword. Right now scanning over your blog posts, I’d say you just don’t have any specific focus. The titles and headers and content are all saying different things, there is no keyword focus to base a ranking on.
There are other more technical factors to consider, but SEO increasingly is just about how you write the content and structure it. And then the next thing to consider is social integration and whether your content is getting traction on social networks.
I can confirm fix above from ricardo_s works as it gets around the check for the legacy forums.
I’d sure like to see this plugin brought back to working order and for development to continue. If it needs funding or contributions from developers let’s get on it! Otherwise we’re just letting all the premium learning system win without a fight, and I for one think having a true open source option that is comparable is worth fighting for.

In reply to: [BuddyPress Courseware] need to activate forumsI found this same issue, installing is impossible because it requires the legacy forums that used to be bundled with BuddyPress. I have bbPress installed already yet BuddyPress Courseware does not seem to notice that.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Wish there was premium supportJulian, have you considered hiring a developer with WooCommerce experience to help? That’s essentially what “premium support” is, and there are thousands of developers (probably over 100,000 actually) with WooCommerce experience in the world.
I used to develop f/t and sometimes ran into situations where I wished I could quickly get paid support rather than waiting. It’s almost a little odd that doesn’t exist as a service.

In reply to: Advice for Multi-Blog SiteI’m not sure there is a right answer to this but to me it sounds like having multiple blogs inside 1 WP site would make the most sense. You are going to have to deal with “finding” a single blog in a list of 100+ no matter how you do it, but at least that problem is simpler to tackle inside 1 single site than it would be if you have 100 distinct sites.
I would ask yourself also about “why” you need 100 different blogs. Meaning double-check if that is really the best approach. Because often people who are new to things overlook the obvious. Like if you plan to have lots of different authors… that’s no reason to make different blogs, you’re site will be richer by merging all that different content together. Think in terms of the audience, search engines, social media. From that perspective you are much better having 1 content-rich site than 5 or more weak sites. And what makes a site content rich in part is not just the blog posts individually but how they can form into category lists. So maybe 2 different authors tackle the same topic… if it’s sports maybe they both write about the Rangers and they both use the tag “rangers” now suddenly you have a tag page with 2 items, and over time that grows to 10 items and it can then bring you traffic.
I hope this helps maybe somebody else who is familiar with Role Scoper can comment on whether that will help in this case.
