How long would it have been? * If you’re writing that long on one page, you’d be better writing several pages( In which case earlier pages would have been saved). * Who is going to scroll down a single page that has taken five hours to write! * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Will google index updated blog title?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/will-google-index-updated-blog-title/) * [technonow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/technonow/) * (@technonow) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/will-google-index-updated-blog-title/#post-2144984) * Just cos you change the title, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll increase your traffic. Google will re-index your title, and your page, but where it lists your page will depend on the page content more than the page title. * Google doesn’t want to send people looking for “Apples”, to pages named “Apples”, but with page content about “Pears”. * It would rather send people looking for “Apples” to pages with content about “ Apples”, even if the page itself is called “Pears”. * Hope you followed that! What I’m trying to point out. Page content is the thing that really matters, not the page title. * Ideally, both would match, but if they don’t, it’s the page content that carries most weight. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Install but no Cpanel](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-but-no-cpanel/) * [technonow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/technonow/) * (@technonow) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-but-no-cpanel/#post-2146207) * kingwt. * CPanel, if you’ve got it, is software supplied by your hosting company. * WordPress, if you’ve got it, is software you supply on your hosting. * The two are completely unconnected. * It’s a bit like asking, “Can I access my WordPress Admin via Adobe Reader”. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Install hangs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-hangs-1/) * [technonow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/technonow/) * (@technonow) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/install-hangs-1/#post-2145516) * c:\wordpress\wordpress\install.php implies that you are trying to install WordPress on your own computer. * To install WordPress on a windows computer, you first need to set up a WAMP server. W for Windows, A for Apache, M for MySQL, and P for PHP. * ‘PHP not installed’ implies that PHP is not installed on your computer. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Twenty Ten Theme – TextScrolling round Google Ads](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-ten-theme-textscrolling-round-google-ads/) * Thread Starter [technonow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/technonow/) * (@technonow) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twenty-ten-theme-textscrolling-round-google-ads/#post-1547486) * Thanks for that.

That’s what I was looking for. Thanks. * It’s not a duplicate. * This post is about moving the URL from the **registration page**, by editing the users-new.php file in the **WP core files**. * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/369221?replies=11](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/369221?replies=11) is about moving the URL from the **comments page** and editing the comments.php file in the **theme files**. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Removing User Profile Website](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-user-profile-website/) * Thread Starter [technonow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/technonow/) * (@technonow) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-user-profile-website/#post-1403556) * Well I’m still trying. * It seems I need to change one of the WP core files rather than one of the template files, but I’ve tried all the ones starting ‘users.’ but without success. * If you’re reading this for the first time: * What I’m trying to do is remove the ‘Website’ entry when a user registers. I’m talking about ‘registration’ not leaving ‘comments’. * When someone registers, there’s a non-required question asking people who are registering to add their website address.

But if someone makes 100 comments on my website that’s 100 separate outgoing links. * It seems to be a case of all or nothing. * Reciprocal love is great.

Presumably this deletes the requirement for an‘ url’ when someone leaves a comment, but this isn’t what I want. * What I want, is to remove the ‘url’ from user profile. * If you look at [http://beliefaith.com/hindu-right-to-cremation-in-uk/](http://beliefaith.com/hindu-right-to-cremation-in-uk/) you’ll see what I mean. * Peter Goble has left a comment, but his name is a link to his own website, and that’s what I’m trying to avoid. * Incidentally, I did what you suggested on the other post and changed the comments. php file. I found `input type="text" name="url" id="url"` and changed it to ` input type="hidden" name="url" id="url"` BUT it didn’t get rid of the URL label. I found out I could get rid of the whole thing by commenting out the paragraph the above code was in by placing , and –> after the

It confuses people that don’t have a website and I’d like to remove it but don’t know how. * At the moment I’ve got the “Comment author must fill out name and e-mail” box ticked, but it also adds an “Url” box.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. * I deactivated all the other plugins and switched to the WP default theme, and I could immediately see the form. * I activated all the other plugins one by one and I could still see the form. * I then changed back to the ‘Amazing’ theme I was using and the form dissapeared. On a closer inspection the form was there, but there was no line surrounding the input boxes so I couldn’t see them. Neither would visitors to the site. * Seems this is a theme problem not a plugin or shortcode problem * Maybe this forum topic will help someone else in the future with the same problem. * As for me. I think I’ll just try a different theme. * Thanks again, Michael, for your help.

Much appreciated. * I’ve tried both of these, but with the same result. * On the actual page, the form shows all the headings such as Your Name, Your Email, Subject, etc., but there is no line on which anyone can type the answers. * These plugins obviously work for everyone else, but not for me, so it’s obviously me that’s doing something wrong or have missed something out. * I’ve read most of the posts on the subject, and as far as I know I’m doing what I ought to. But I’m obviously wrong and missing something. I don’t know what. * I’m currently trying to use clean-contact at [http://whatto-do.com/contact/](http://whatto-do.com/contact/) and contact form 7 at [http://www.my-fix-it.com/contact/](http://www.my-fix-it.com/contact/) but I can’t get either of them to work. * I’ve never used shortcodes before. I’m assuming that I only need to download a plugin that uses a shortcode, activate it, and type the shortcode into the HTML of a page. I take it that there isn’t something like a ‘activate shortcodes’ plugin that I also have to install? * Help! Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total)
