In reply to: [Stop Media Comment Spamming] See my reviewHey guys,
Sorry – I wish these forums would email plugin authors when there is a support query.
Can you give me some examples of when it’s not worked please. Screenshots would be ideal.
We have this running on many client sites and working fine.

In reply to: [Better WordPress Minify] Bad Requests 400Hi, thanks for the response.
Just re-enabled it and everything works fine now. Strange.
We have WP Super Cache installed so perhaps there was an issue with caching.
Happy that it’s working.
Cheerz,

In reply to: Double WP installation errorFYI – make sure you mark your primary content as such and mark the others as alternative, otherwise you risk the change of Google seeing your primary content as duplication and downgrading your SEO.

In reply to: Double WP installation errorHi again.
From what I can determine you have a WordPress installation in http://www.natural-academy.it, and another in /french and another in /en
I would probably start looking at the .htaccess in the /french and /en folders.
Make sure that they are including the folder and not the root /index.php.
e.g. .htaccess for /french
line: RewriteBase /
replace with: RewriteBase /french/line: RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
replace with: RewriteRule . /french/index.php [L]Repeat for /en installation.

In reply to: Posts or Pages for Everything?Hi Jim
It’s a good and relevant question especially regarding Google and SEO.
Yes, if your content has a date associated with it then Google will take that into consideration.
One of the SEO tips I started using a couple of years ago was to remove the post date/time on “timeless” articles to keep their SEO relevance.
Seems to have made a difference.
We use pages for all our timeless content – which includes general services pages, company info, contact info etc..
We also use custom post types (CPTs) for some of our specific services so that we can link those into custom developed processes.
We use posts only for our blog area.

In reply to: Change my site's URLIf you are using WordPress.com then you will probably have to purchase a domain name from them, turning:
wordpress.com/myusername into http://www.mynewdomain.com
If you are using WordPress.org then it’s in Settings > General

In reply to: functions.phpNot really no.
Not unless you download and use a script which is able to detect mobile devices e.g. https://code.google.com/p/php-mobile-detect/
Why not just develop two menu separate divs, content fed from two separate php functions and then hide one of them using CSS and media queries?

In reply to: create a website with pay per viewWhat research have you currently done?
You can check out WordPress.com, Envato, Themeforest, WooThemes or CodeCanyon for themes. They all have pretty good filters for keywords to drill down to the type of theme you may need.
For the content you may want to look into a membership plugin such as Easy Digital Downloads or S2 Member. They both have the ability to restrict content and offer payment gateways.
Tracking the user & visitor activity is dependant on what you’re looking for eactly. S2 Member can provide some good stats as can Google Analytics if you set up tracking.
Or you could use WP Security Audit Log to monitor everything every user does on the site. http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

In reply to: High local usageHey,
Try running the site through pingdom tools to see what the breakdown of files and resource requests are like for your top content pages.
Look for long loading times of images or resources and take a note of the size being downloaded (times by 10,100 of course to get an average daily download size).
Also you may want to install P3 Profiler http://wordpress.org/plugins/p3-profiler/
It will give you stats on the site’s resources and can help identify those plugins which are making many requests.
Pay particular notice to the number of MySQL requests being made by each plugin.
Should at least get you some good metrics to guide your investigation.

In reply to: taking down old website and keeping WP filesHey Bernd
To locate your WordPress folder find your .htaccess file in your public_html, www or htdocs folder.
Have a look for the lines:
RewriteBase /
or
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]/ indicates that your WordPress installation is in your root web folder. Anything else before there will tell you the sub folder that your WordPress installation is in.
The best way to figure out what are WordPress folders and files is to download the wordpress .zip from wordpress.org and unzip it on your local machine.
That will give you a clean WordPress installation and files to search for.
Note: wp-config.php will is not in the .zip file as this is the main configuration file you create on your host from wp-config-sample.php. Don’t zap that file from your server!!
IF you’re using cPanel, grab a backup of everything and download that to local before making any changes. Worst case scenario is that you’ll have to upload the zip file and unpack.
As for URLs, you can map these using 301 – it’s not that dirty – millions of sites use them.

In reply to: Double WP installation errorUse WP Migrate DB to properly move the database over to the new URL.
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/
You can’t just copy the DB over as is because it contains URL links to the current domain you’re copying from.
Don’t use a text editor to do a search and replace on the URL either because that will break serialized data.
You’ll of course have to edit your wp-config.php file with the new host and database details.
