@devnihil Thanks for the quick response. I suspected the FB social sharing feature would continue to work because I didn’t think it used oEmbed, but I wanted to make certain since my organization uses that feature often.

Also, I understand why the Facebook app ID box is part of the social sharing feature, but can you give me an example of a FB app that might integrate with Yoast SEO where a FB app ID would be needed? I trying to understand and find a real world example of that feature in the event that it would benefit my organization.

Thanks!

Thank you for clarifying that our problem was more likely due to Meta Slider Pro, rather than the free plugin (Meta Slider).

At this point we have updated all sites to be running the latest versions of both plugins. So far (knock on wood), no slow queries have emerged. We will continue to monitor things, but I am hopeful this solves our problem.

Is there a functional limit (or best practice) as to the number of slides a Meta Slider should contain? I know for usability reasons more than about a dozen photos are probably a waste, but I’m curious if there is a point at which too many slides creates resource issues on the server?

Sorry forgot to click the code button:

<div class="post">
<div class="entry clearfix">
<a href="http://wp.mw.k12.ny.us/guidance-news-attention-juniors/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Guidance news – attention Juniors!"></a>
<h3 class="post-title"><a href="http://wp.mw.k12.ny.us/guidance-news-attention-juniors/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Guidance news – attention Juniors!">Guidance news – attention Juniors!&nbsp;<i class="fa fa-chevron-circle-right"></i></a></h3>

As you can see….the 3rd line is an empty hyperlink and the 4th link repeats that link as part of the post title. The last part of that code between the <i> tags is an arrow that is part of the hyperlink.

I struck out the hosting provider. How do I contact you to so I can find out what you need to take a closer look?

@mattyrob,

I’m not opposed to that, but I would need to get authorization. Do you think before doing that I should try to completely uninstall and delete that plugin and reinstall?

Of course I would have to save a copy of everyone on the subscriber list, along with all settings. But, if I do that will I be able to manually add people back in?

Correct….the widget I am using is the Subscribe2 widget that allows me to change settings like the re-direct page, etc.

I just opened the wp_subscribe2 table in phpMyAdmin and its kind of weird, while it has those columns listed in the database the data in them is somewhat inconsistent.

For instance in some cases the ip field says “admin” and others it has the actual IP address listed. Also, in the conf_date, conf_date, conf_IP all but the two most recent entries have these fields listed as “Null”? The two latest ones show the actual date, time and ip?

Now that you mention it, I just noticed a message on the Subscribe2 settings page:

You appear to be sending notifications from an email address from a different domain name to your blog, this may result in failed emails

We haven’t changed our E-mail address for a while and I believe the form was working after we started using our GMAIL account as our default sending address.

Would you recommend that I change that email address to something ending in @educationspeaks.org? It won’t be a real, working email address but would it help in troubleshooting this issue?
