In reply to: Private blog still showing up in searchWait a minute – that’s confusing. Your blog on WordPress.com should be in the form of gymlion.wordpress.com (not blog.gymlion.com). I checked and it’s giving a 301 as it should.
The URL gymlion.com/blog returns a 200 which is exactly right – it’s the live site.

In reply to: Private blog still showing up in searchA redirect won’t do it alone. That’s why you need to be sure it’s a 301. The search engines will attempt to crawl the old site and get the 301 redirect. The 301 tells them the page(s) have a new permanent home at the new site. They will slowly remove the old URLs from their indexes and crawl the new site for the new pages.

In reply to: Weird search URL at my siteThat looks like the results of someone testing an exploit kit and didn’t get the settings right.

In reply to: Private blog still showing up in searchMake it public so the redirects can actually be seen.
FYI – I can’t remember if this is an option so look for it: those redirects should return a 301.

In reply to: Image will not go to the top of pageIt looks like you have an Adsense plugin that’s taking up that spot. From your source code:
<p><!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http://quicksense.net/ --></p> <div style="float:right;margin:10px 0 10px 10px;"> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><br /> <!-- VGM ad 1 --><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle"<br /> style=”display:inline-block;width:120px;height:240px”<br /> data-ad-client=&xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;<br /> data-ad-slot=&xxxxxxxxxxxxx;></ins><br /> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div>Variables removed.

In reply to: wordpress installed running homepage and backend but nothing elseDid you check your permalinks settings?

In reply to: Private blog still showing up in searchWhat’s likely happening is that Google just hasn’t removed the entries from their search index yet.
Option 1) Pay the fee at WordPress.com to redirect traffic to your new site
Option 2) Submit removal requests to Google for each of the URLs you wish to have removed

In reply to: If empty on screenLooks like you’re missing a plugin or some function/code block. If you look at the source code you’ll see that code at the top.
<div id="inner-body"> if(empty($z)) { $z = "<script type=\"text/javascript\" language=\"javascript\"></script> "; echo $z; } #/3a64a9# ?>It looks like the issue stems from a lack of a the opening <?php tag

In reply to: If empty on screenThat’s PHP code. Is it way off to the side or where a sidebar should be?

In reply to: manage lots of menu itemsWhoa.
<podiumspeech=on>While you CAN have everything in the menu, it is NOT user friendly. General rule of thumb is to have no more than 5 major nav items. If you need more, consider another, secondary, menu located some distance away from the primary.
Likewise, for pull downs, they shouldn’t have more than 5-7 items either – if you can help it. IF you need a few more once or twice – it should be fine. But if every pull down has 8 or more links in it then it’s too much. Divide and conquer.</podiumspeech=off>

In reply to: manage lots of menu itemsRe: menu suggestions – the WP menu is actually pretty good IMO. Which leads me to wonder how many items she’s including.
I was having the same issue but noticed in the “official” support forum
that it seems that NextGen Gallery was causing issues. I noted NG needed updating and did so. All works fine now.

In reply to: Does embedded you tube video helps for seo?Short answer is no. In fact, you’re helping the owner of the video instead of helping yourself.
