In reply to: Duplicated Site Domain Mapping Effects On SEOThis question requires research as there are search engines that use Google’s organic search algorithm while others don’t.
Either way, here’s a good tool to find out more about your Website and how it interacts with Google, it’s SEO, it’s Open Graph, and all that jive.

In reply to: Which method is bestI can only tell you what I would do in any situation regarding WordPress and you can take it at your own risk. However, to answer your question: I would use Network because I would begin with a solid infrastructure on the business site.
Additionally, the subdomain or subdirectory option is very cool, especially if I’m looking to set up different domains (via plugin) with different marketing campaigns, customer relations, a SSL employee memo and handbook site, etc. WP Network is a versatile tool.
Here’s how to create a Network
http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_NetworkIf you want to set the infrastructure to enable other domain names, here’s the ticket
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/I’m not saying that the single install isn’t cool, it’s awesome if you only represent a singular voice, however, Network is the way to go for business.
There are user settings for the entire site and for individual sub sites.
Hope this helps.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Which method is bestDepends on what your needs are: Networks (either for subdomain or subdirectory blogs) are respectively different blogs on one network. They can be exported all together (via MySQL) or individually by the respective user of the sub-blog (via Dashboard).
If you’re looking to have two separate installs share the same database, then it’s probably a better idea to use a Network. The reason is your server only carries one set of core files to take care of the entire Web site. In addition, you can map out domains on top of subdomain blogs. It makes maintenance easier and updating a snap with only one set of core files.
Just remember to research the installation process in detail before you attempt. You can run into some silly problems if you skips any steps.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: Twenty Eleven on the iPhoneI know it can be somewhat tedious but you’ll get the hang of it 🙂 Also check for his explanation on redesigning “the Wall” – it’s an awesome reference when it comes to mobile adaptable themes, elements and images.

In reply to: search widgetso one more thing won’t make any difference…
Well then get ride of the input value, “Search…” in your theme’s searchform template or add a line of CSS
display:nonethat prevents displaying the “Search” button.I’ll have to break down and learn how to use the child theme – if its as simple as the codex says
It’s actually easier.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Page Position Not Displaying CorrectlyMy suggestion is the long way around but what I would do is re-install your theme as is, then create a child theme using Mainstream as the template as per the guide in the link on my previous post.
I know it’s a bit of work to go back and do it again, but you’ll find that is probably the least frustrating methods of approach.

In reply to: Page Position Not Displaying CorrectlyIf it’s a premium theme from Woo, you’ll have to check with them. However, chances are, you did a custom set up on the theme without creating a child theme.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
Always remember to create a child theme so you can make ANY changes you want and not worry that your site will revert upon theme update.
Hope this helps.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: search widgetYou can change it with CSS or hacking into the theme. Best course of action is to create a child theme (even if you don’t have that much invested into theme, it’s a good idea), you can edit the theme any way you like and not worry about losing any changes when you perform a theme upgrade.
With your own child theme, you can add your own searchform.php file to fix this issue.
I know, it’s not fun. It’s one of those times where redundancy is not cool.
Best Wishes

In reply to: Twenty Eleven on the iPhoneWhat you’re talking about is “elastic” elements (something like that), either way, Nick La over at WebDesignerWall covers these topics but you’ll have to research them.
http://webdesignerwall.com/?s=elastic
I know how to code elastic elements however, I don’t feel like explaining it and you’ll learn best with the proper resources.
Best wishes.
FYI: I do not endorse WebDesignerWall; it is simply a reference.

That’s the forum for Magic Blue Theme. I think.

In reply to: users being autochanged to adminsYou head the nail on the head regarding plugins. I’m not aware of a bug that does that within WP but if you deactivate plugins, you’ll quickly find out which one is making this happen. If it were me, I’d deactivate all the plugins one by one until I found the culprit.
Of course, if this is a production site (which sounds like it is), then you’ll want to do this on an off-peak hour so you can perform maintenance comfortably.
Best wishes.
