Hi,

Did you update WordPress to 3.5 recently ?

I had a similar issue since WP 3.5 update…
I had created [clear-both] shortcode to output :
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
This allow me to render content just after an image, this add a return line feed after the image. So the text goes at the bottom.

Since WP 3.5 update, the shortcode [clear-both] appeared in the content instead of the output code.
I remove the “-” from the shortcode in my functions.php, then the shortcode works.

If this could help you…

OK, I understand what you mean. I did the test.

As far as I know, the cache of your page in Google will be refreshed soon (it could be in some days/weeks) by itself (normally).

I understood that you do not want to remove totally the page from Google to prevent to loose visitors, but if you do not have too much visitor (less than 100 per days on the Home page), don’t worry, you can remove it totally, Google will explore your website in the next few days and your Home page will come back in Google.

Step 1 :
To proceed this way, first you have to use a file called robots.txt, if you already use a robots.txt file, do a backup of this file onto your local computer because we need to change it temporarily.
As Google said with the message “For permanent removal, the content must be blocked by robots.txt.”
With a text editor, create a new file called robots.txt and copy/paste this :

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /

Then save the file and upload it in your www web folder. This will block Google indexing in your entire website (always temporarily)

Step 2 :
In the Google Webmaster Tools, simply click “remove URL”, click “New remove request” then leave blank the URL field and click “OK”
Now, Google has the request to remove the Home page URL, but you’ll have to wait 1 or 2 days, it’s important that you wait while keeping this new robots.txt file present in www.

Sometimes, You can check removal requests status in “Remove URLs” in the Google Webmaster Tool. Once the URL seems to be deleted from Google, delete our robots.txt file from your server and/or replace it by the one you backuped before this operation)

This page is just composed of the title of 2 categories (of your choice) at the top, the 2 thumbnails of the 2 first posts in these categories and the listed related posts in these 2 categories.

FPW Category Thumbnail will allow you to attach thumbnails to categories.

You can do all the rest with WP coding in PHP templates.

Hi,

I don’t think you can do that.
Only the post-attachments URL will be available for each post. but not the post thumbnail.

If you have this kind of error (by WordPress), this means that WordPress accesses successfully your DB, but was not able to load certain data in the DB (which is not normal). This means your data could be corrupted. This kind of thing never occured on my site.
So it’s necessaire to fix errors in your DB.

First thing you should do is to make sure that you are getting the same error on both the front-end of the site, and the back-end of the site (wp-admin). If the error message is the same on both pages “Error establishing a database connection”, then proceed onto the next step. If you are getting a different error on the wp-admin for instance something like “One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired”, then you need to repair your database.
You can do this by adding the following line in your wp-config.php file:
1
define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);
Once you have done that, you can see the settings by visiting this page: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/maint/repair.php

You can do this by 2 ways…
With HTML in your template or CSS in your style sheet.

To place 2 thin lines using HTML code, use the HTML <hr> tag like this :

<hr>
{Your WordPress PHP Meta}
<hr>

Or using CSS by adding border-top:1px solid white and border-bottom:1px solid white in your WordPress PHP Meta container.
