Hi yep i have the same issue on my Genesis powered blog. Is there a definitive fix for this.
Currently, we have override the CSS wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/css/metabox-tabs.css?ver=3.6 . through firebug or jetpack CSS edit?
In both cases you remove display: none; as described by aliosha75 in the comments above.I would have thought Joost would have applied a fix to his excellent plugin by now, or am I missing something ;-0
Hi drekaz21
Ok I understand what you mean now. I have been trying out the Page Speed utility – every time I try my score goes up!
The preview laptop view looks a bit small to be real useful other than as you say, indicating whether it page is broken or not.I think your post will be very useful given the potential issues with W3TotalCache. I myself have nearly finished a post on my blog which a few images so wish me luck The related article you mention is good btw.

Cool I guess I will need to clear all my browser caches and try and see the faveicon.
Back to the ff issue, could we do this via email and maybe paste the results of your inspection here – after many admin hack attempts a few months ago, I am a little paranoid.

Thanks for the offer, it is Daniel’s blog . Last night I worked on a new faveicon and also tried to fix the FF icons issue. Could you please test both.
Hi drekaz21
Thanks for your reply. Could I clarify a number of the points you make.,
When I update plugins and any posts then log out ( as Admin) , are suggesting that I won’t see the updates ( due to non caching / not updating CDN). I know the HTTP code 404 but I have don’t think I have ever encountered the 404.php as yet but I guess it gets routed to when there is 404 error.Ok I deactivate all plugins inc firewall, twitter tools etc then clear cache and then reactivate all. I will need to activate W3TotalCache again.
Finally, I had a look on your site – which has some useful stuff btw but could not find anything on the Google Page Tool – I think you are referring to . I have signed up for this as this invite only apparently.
The first sentence should have read: “Have configured W3TotalCache to work with my chosen CDN”

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] Icons don't work in FirefoxHi community
Just to clarify as where to put this fix. Do I place this in
/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simple-social-icons/.htaccess
(which I notice does not exist yet)
or/public_html/.htaccess. ( which in fact I have done.)
I am still getting this issue in FF and I am trying to isolate a caching issue.

In reply to: XAMPP WordPress Installation not workingHi
I hear your frustration.
1) try IE
2) confirm nothing else is running on port 80 … sometimes Skype does. I made the initial mistake of installing XAMPP and Apache on the same server. A marriage made in hell!ALso go to the XAMPP Control panel and ensure you have apache + mysql running ..
3) are your wordpress files in the default c:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress
Remember to isolate the issue. If apache is not running then forget wordpress so that is first point in your test.

In reply to: WAMP & Windows 8 – Fail to access phpmyadminHi
I think I am nearly there following these steps:
1) ftp copy of blog files from remote site
2) import SQL backup into my local db
3) run WordPress db Search and Replace ToolThat is, I can see an exact copy of my remote blog home page: posts, tweets etc when I go to my local home url
Also, I can see that when I mouse over each of my posts the correct local link is set correctly to
http://localhost/myblog.biz/my-category/title-of-postHowever, looks can be deceiving 🙁 as when I actually click on any of the posts I am redirected immediately to
http://localhost/XAMPP and so not viewing any of my prosaic text….. ouch!!!!Any thoughts anyone in the community. I will try and enable wordpress debug as MySql debug seems to want to whinge about a few depreciated function calls

In reply to: WAMP & Windows 8 – Fail to access phpmyadminI have done a bit of searching and there is a process out there I have come accross
MIGRATING A WORDPRESS/WPMU/BUDDYPRESS WEBSITE
This makes use of a php script :
WordPress db Search and Replace ToolLooks straight forward . The only reason I have tried it out is that as I am copying http://mydomain.biz to http://localhost/mydomain.local I want to try and run the script on my local (XAMPP) install not on the public facing site – the instructions seem to indicate the converse.

In reply to: WAMP & Windows 8 – Fail to access phpmyadminXAMP is similar and has a nice control panel. You can optionally run Apache etc as a service. I didn’t get on with WAMP.
Anyway, I am trying to recreate my blog site locally and so for I have imported the posts. Not sure what I do next to import the plugins (via ftp), themes and settings. Is this sort of thing you have done.

In reply to: WAMP & Windows 8 – Fail to access phpmyadminI gave up yesterday and when straight to XAMP which worked on Windows 8… Got the missing DLL bug and I thought life is too short.

In reply to: setting up WordPress on a local hostHi MarkyBoyz/dang21
So far so good on XAMP – thanks for your help. I have all my posts imported. I don’t however have my child theme(s) and the myriad of plugins I use. What is the best strategy for getting these on to the local install … I guess I need to ftp over the entire
/wp-content/themes
/wp-content/pluginsIs there anything else.

In reply to: setting up WordPress on a local hostdang621 , that link looks really useful – what is best Xamp or Wamp?
I want to do this on a Ubuntu or windows 8 virtual machine ( running under hyper-v). Previously I tried to do this with XAMP on a machine running IIS 7 and entered a whole world of hurt! Yep port 80 contention.
When I finally resolved this and imported my amended mysql files I kept getting errors due hard coded links in the database e.g.
I have found 10 occurrences of
/home/sites/myblog.com/public_html/wp_content….
Has had anyone else had this issue and is it a case of search and replace or should I install on my local Linux vmAlso, if say my blog is called myblog.com then to run locally I guess you will need to ensure the the host file points to the local XAMP or WAMP instance and not the myblog.com on the internet.

In reply to: [Limit Login Attempts] Can I customize the failed attempt screen?I would like to second this. I am getting over 10 login attempts a day by unkowns who are “kindly” offering to my admin. Why or why are we allowing these bots to harvest the next_attempt_duration which must be added to some last_attempt_made or_this_domain variable.
Instead we should have a quite mode and even weighted random lockout times ….
