In reply to: Last 2 Weeks of Posts Disappeared!This can happen if your web host had problems and restored your site from a non-recent backup. If you had your database backed up see:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup
Otherwise, I’d recommend backing up in the future:

You can check to see if Google or any other search engines have cached your missing posts so that you can recover the text from them.

In reply to: It seems so easy – PHP and the_titleYou don’t need $changetitle echoed for a second time in the else condition because it’s already echoed once by default. Also, the apostrophe in FAQ’s may be being returned by the_title as:
AndHash039;
Note: This forum will not display the actual code for an apostrophe.

In reply to: Can someone help with simple question? Please please!You do not need to preserve the URLs to maintain your backlinks, SEO, and rankings with 301 redirects, and it’s odd that your SEO specialist is telling you otherwise. I converted a static html site to WordPress and I used hundreds of 301 redirects, and Google updated the new URLs without problem and my rankings were unaffected. WordPress does not have a problem with 301 redirects as long as you keep them out of the WordPress section of the .htaccess code.

In reply to: Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent byDownload a fresh copy of wp-login.php from this site and use FTP to replace your current copy.
Certain text editing applications (MS Word, etc.) can leave behind invisible formatting and text gremlins that mess up edited files, typically wp-config.php. If a file is just not behaving, download a fresh copy of the affected file and then use a different text or code application to customize it if needed.

In reply to: Can someone help with simple question? Please please!I’m migrating a site to WordPress that has very extensive SEO work on it so we want to keep all the old pages.
Use 301 redirects. It’s a webmaster standard because it’s easy and preserves your backlinks, SEO, and search engine rankings.

In reply to: How to achieve this idea?Look for portfolio themes for WordPress. There are lots of nice ones out there (free and for purchase), and if you can’t find one that’s exactly how you want it, you may be able to modify one of them to suit without too much effort (as opposed to building a portfolio theme from scratch).

In reply to: Help! Trying to add php session_start() to headerI don’t know if there is anything wrong with the session code, but I do know that WordPress itself doesn’t use sessions.

The issue may also be your splash page, as these are not simple to set up with WordPress.

In reply to: Importing a WordPress.com Blog to my self-hosted WordPress BlogAre the missing posts in the export file? If not, try checking with wordpress.com support.
Also see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content
Personally, I have found the WordPress to WordPress export/import process to be a bit buggy, but others have used it successfully.

In reply to: google custom search…no search results!Your site needs to be set as public in your WordPress privacy settings and Google needs to have time to crawl and index your pages first.
I pasted the code for the search results in the html section of the search results page I created specifically for that purpose.
If this isn’t working (search results on your site), you could always choose the option to let Google host the search results. That’s what I did, and it works fine.

My Account? Do you have a blog on the free wordpress.com? If so, then as far as I know you can’t have ads or install plugins.

In reply to: invalid markup problemMost of your errors are due to having a plain & instead of the XHTML code version in your code.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: invalid markup problemWordPress uses XHTML and most add-on code from other sites is HTML, so it will generate code errors. If there is an XHTML option for the add-on code, then use that instead. If not, you can typically ignore the errors unless they are causing display problems.

The other main cause of bad code in WordPress is using the visual editor. You can disable it somewhere in your dashboard.
