In reply to: 3.5.1 Update problemTry deactivating all plugins and while all deactivated, try again. If still issue, then try switching to default twentytwelve theme and test again. This could help eliminate the problem. If still same issue, make sure all files are being transferred ok during the WP core update.

In reply to: php echo the_time('Y')Try this:
<?php echo date("Y")?>the_time references the publish time of the post/page and gives inconsistent values when used outside loops. the_date should be used in templates/footers etc.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Contact Form 7 to include post name and custom field infoI managed to sort this. I used a plugin called ‘Contact Form 7 Modules’ to create hidden fields in the form. These hidden fields can be used to grab post titles and custom fields from the post and then use like any other shortcode in the email – including the email subject.
I then dropped the shortcode for the form into my post template and voila, it worked perfectly.
Hope this helps, but it worked for my Job Board application form.

In reply to: Meta Tags questionTake it out of the header and install a plugin such as Yoast SEO. It will handle everything for you and more. You can then write custom titles and descriptions for every page/post from the post edit screen.
PS – keep the title tag in the header though like this:
<title><?php wp_title();?></title>Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Custom Menu IssuesIf your WP install can only save X number of menu items, you need to get your host to increase suhosin limit on your server. I’ve had it happen numerous times and it always fixes it.

In reply to: Funky problemWhat I would do:
1. Switch to default Wp theme (twenty twelve)
2. From control panel, rename ‘business-lite’ to ‘business-lite-OLD’
3. Reupload fresh copy of business-lite from WP.
4. From WP admin, switch to new fresh theme and check if issue is still there or not.
Hosting control panel is great, but much quicker using FTP and simplifies everything.

In reply to: facebook like button modification?Sounds a bit dodgy that, capturing people’s info when they click ‘like’. You need to warn people first or risk getting kicked off Facebook. Check FB’s policies as they are quite strict.
I have seen ways of capturing this data, but it’s no easy feat.

In reply to: Funky problemChrome is pretty good too, you can right-click on something, then ‘Inspect element’ – it does a good amount of the firebug stuff.
Sounds like you haven’t made any modifications to the theme, so why not try installing a fresh copy of the theme again.
Are you using ftp?

In reply to: Funky problemTheir demo looks ok to me so I think it’s something you’ve done afterwards.
To help steer you, looking at the structure of their demo:
<div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div id="content" class="eight columns"> <div id="sidebar" class="four columns">you see their sidebar is inside the ‘row’ div, and this itself is inside the ‘container’ div. Now, looking at your current structure…
<div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div id="content" class="eight columns"> </div> <div class="post_container"> <div class="post_container"> <div class="post_container"> <div class="post_container"> <div class="pagination"> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="four columns">Your sidebar is not only outsite the ‘row’ div, but outside the ‘container’ completely – it needs to be directly after the closing ‘content’ div.
What is useful is downloading ‘firebug’ plugin for firefox and it can show you where errors like this occur. I couldn’t live without firebug now!
Hope this helps.

In reply to: iframe on whole site?…and you can still view the source of the iframe to see all the code anyway.
There is no real point and is a very bad idea from an SEO perspective.
Don’t expect to appear anywhere decent in any search engine listings.
