In reply to: [Plugin: All in One SEO Pack] – Used to Be a Good Plug-inDid you sign up for Google webmaster tools and submit a sitemap?
That can help.
Bad CSS doesn’t really block search engines and bad html doesn’t really,either. Unless you are doing bad things like having white text on a white background but you wouldn’t do that, right? Generating tons of 404s can hurt SEO so you do want to make sure your redirects are working.
search Google “transferring from Blogger to WordPress without affecting SEO or PR” because a lot of people have written about how to do it. And they seem happy.
You can also recreate the exact same urls you were using on blogger with http://www.introsites.co.uk/33~html-wordpress-permalink-on-pages-plugin.html and using the Permalinks custom structure /%postname%.html
I don’t know all of those plugins you mentioned but All in One Seo Pack is definitely a good one.
good luck!Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: WP e-Commerce] I Give Up!Perhaps there was a little vinegar in my comment.
standing behind this plugin and willing to do research necessary to find the answers and help I need
Bravo!
It would not be not easy to corral all information ever put online into one tidy location. I suspect the developers have their hands full making improvements to their free plugin.I do hope you find all documentation to help you with your issues after upgrading to the gold cart.
What issues would those be?
In my experience it is usually a matter of not having the gold cart files in the correct place or having old copies of them.

In reply to: Not all posts showingHere is some simple next and previous navigation
<div class="navigation"> <div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('«Next ') ?></div> <div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Previous »') ?></div> </div>Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Not all posts showingIts possible your theme doesn’t have next and previous navigation.
Check settings>>reading and see how many posts are set to show –by default it is 10 but maybe you switched it to 5.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: How can I allow other user to sign up in my blog and make post?If you trust this user you can set their status to Editor.
In your dashboard go to Authors and Users, either add them manually or have them register themselves and then set their status to Editor.Forum: Plugins

In reply to: permalink – Post TitleThanks Samboll, the info I had must have been from an old WP Docs page…I used to use just /%postname%/ but I read that /%post_id%/%postname%/ was easier on the database than /%postname%/.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: permalink – Post TitleJust go to Dashboard >> Settings >> Permalinks
Select: Custom,specify below
and put in /%category%/%postname%/
The final slash / is optional or at least it was when I used this setting. I now use /%post_id%/%postname%/ which looks like what is your current permalinks setting.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: whoa-this is weird…I never said to remove 3.0em from #menu. I said to add overflow:auto to #menu. Just adding overflow:auto to a div with no height containing elements with height was not my advice. What I was suggesting was adding height to #header-wrap or #header,respectively.Adding overflow:auto to #menu was just to show you that 3.0em was not enough height for #menu.
In #menu each list item has a height of 48px yet the entire nested header structure only allows for a height of 48px which is about 3.0em. What’s going on is #menu is trying to incorrectly contain at least 96px of elements, #header and #headerwrap are doing nothing to help out and are being used to show background images when they should be being used to hold your blocks in place.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: whoa-this is weird…Is the other wide screen computer using a different browser?
I’m using Firefox on a widescreen and I see the 2cnd level of your menu…
Anyway, just a guess here but you have a lot of list items in #menu which is nested in #header-wrap and then #header. #header-wrap has no assigned height. #header has an assigned height(216px)
#menu’s height is 3.0em which might not do the trick.Anytime you are setting a fixed height and the elements inside that are bigger than the height,things will disappear.Test it out by adding overflow:auto to #menu. If a scrollbar pops up you have to make something have more height.
Try adding more height to #header or #menu or use height:auto…Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How to link tagged posts to headerThis will make a menu out of your categories.
<?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name&title_li=);?>
you can exclude categories:
<?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name&title_li=&exclude=1,193,194,3,34’);?>
Or you can build a static menu of categories(easier because you don’t have to exclude them from the wp_list_cats menu every time you create a new category)<ul> <li><a href="<?php echo get_category_link(1); ?>">category name</a></li> <li><a href="<?php echo get_category_link(2); ?>">category name</a></li> <li><a href="<?php echo get_category_link(3); ?>">category name</a></li> </ul>Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: “Static” Pages and PermalinksIf your website is hosted by godaddy there is a delay before permalinks get working.
But I have seen this mess on other hosts,too.It’s when mod_rewrite is not set up correctly.It could also be that your .htaccess file is not being written to even if wordpress dashboard says “changes saved”.Not knowing what kind of permalink you changed from ?page_id=3 to
Could it be
day and name?
month and name?
numeric?
custom?I can’t give you the .htaccess rules to try for those kinds of permalinks.
To start you want to know who your host is.Then you want to call them and ask them how the server handles mod_rewrite. If you get a big “huh” change hosts!Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How to display post Titles and Excerpts onlyReplace the_content(); with
<? php the_excerpt();?>in index.php.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: boldComment author names and or nicknames are usually in html tags called cite.
Add this to your style sheet:
cite{font-weight:bold}
But if your theme’s css already styles cite find that in style.css and change it to font-weight:bold.
If it isn’t cite…well it could be anything and that is hard to guess. Get the web developer toolbar, a firefox add on, and use the information tab to get element information. Then select comment author’s name and find the class name and html tag. Or just view the source of the comments and try to find it that way.
In the latest default theme comment author names are in a class called .fn (cite class=”fn”) but you might not be using the latest default theme.
