I did not install Genesis first. Think this caused some problems.

It looks like your current theme is called "Focus", rename that to something different and it will uninstall the theme for you and you will be able to access WP again.
You mentioned you deleted the old theme also, so make sure you have either twenty ten or twenty eleven installed as a fallback theme.

this is what you need to do laid out right here fixes problem by the way give the thumbs-up to Casey as he did tell you what was right http://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-got-a-warning-and-now-cant-access-wordpress
it seems to me because I do a lot of Genesis/studio press WordPress work. That this gentleman tried to do a simple change that would've worked if he was using the same themes that are out there for 90% of what is offered to WordPress users. However if you are using studio press you must 1st install the Genesis framework is the framework is separate from the theme. If you are actually trying to change the name of the theme itself I don't understand why you would want to do that if you're talking about something that wouldn't be seen by anyone however if you are simply talking about naming it whatever your website is this make sense. Also one thing I strongly advised everyone is use a managed WordPress host when using WordPress you could very simply sign up for WP engine, Zippy kid, pagely or web synthesis and they would fix your problem for you. Give you a hint Zippy kid is the best value and least expensive and extremely high-quality. If you move to any of the hosts I just named you will get these types of problems fixed for free by the host.
Sincerely,
Thomas Zickell

Hi Casey,
Think it's a dumb question but how do I know which theme I am in?
As I said, I was installing a different theme (studio press) from Seneca (graph paper) and whole thing got messed up. - Just a click -
Then I tried to rename Seneca theme (which was originally installed & activated), and finally deleted it.

You need to rename your current theme, not the old theme. Once you rename your current theme that will uninstall that theme and revert to the default theme so you can access WordPress again.

SSL Certificate Install Conerns
Hi guys I've recently had an EV security certificate installed on the site and have seen a drop in search visibility ever since. It was installed on Nov 27th. Though I was expecting some tracking hiccups as a result of the install and that this is a particularly competitive time of year (I know that others are bidding more aggressively on our brand terms which constitute the vast majority of our traffic) I have been quite concerned by the following: Under Acquisition > SEO > Landing Pages this has dropped to 0. In GWT, the certificate has been identified as self-signed which we know not to be the case. We've checked with the SSL provider that the certificate has been properly installed and obviously with our developers. We're just at a bit of a loss as to whether there is actually an issue and it's not just due to tracking issues and external factors. Does anyone have any advice as to confirm the existence of a problem with the install? Or how to rectify the GWT error as obviously if Google thinks it's self-signed we're not going to get the ranking benefits we were expecting? Thanks in advance for your time. Kind regards

Yoast and Standard theme: Fatal error
Hi all- A client has tried installing Yoast on her site and received at fatal error (below). She's been able to restore her site and get it functioning again, but I'm wondering if there's a work around so we can use the plugin. It's a Wordpress site using the Standard Theme. I've searched the forums (and here!) and haven't found anything helpful yet. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks! "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare yoast_breadcrumb() (previously declared in /vservers/nwconstructi/htdocs/NWCL/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/inc/wpseo-functions.php:108) in /vservers/nwconstructi/htdocs/NWCL/wp-content/themes/StandardTheme_272/lib/standard_yoast_breadcrumbs.php on line 280"

Wordpress - Missing Meta Description and Title Elements Too Short
I have a wordpress site. When SeoMoz runs the crawl, my report shows 0 errors, but a lot of warnings in two areas: Missing Meta Description and Title Element Too Short. The only thing is, the URL's it shows under both of these categories look like this: http://www.millerhypnosisatlanta.com/author/Michael/page/4/ http://www.millerhypnosisatlanta.com/category/anxiety-panic/ http://www.millerhypnosisatlanta.com/tag/goals/ These are tags, categories, and author pages. How do I hide these from being seen by SeoMoz and Google? I mean I should do that right? Because there is no way I can add a description to these pages, or extend the title - right? Thanks in advance for your help!

Joomla problem, title tag too long
Another problem SEOMOZ reported is that my title tags are too long. However, when I type in the title and the description for a particular page on Joomla, the description later appears not only as the meta description, but as part of the page title as well, thus the title appears to be too long. I have no idea how to seperate those two. Anyone?

Duplicate canonical URLs in WordPress
Hi everyone, I'm driving myself insane trying to figure this one out and am hoping someone has more technical chops than I do. Here's the situation... I'm getting duplicate canonical tags on my pages and posts, one is inside of the WordPress SEO (plugin) commented section, and the other is elsewhere in the header. I am running the latest version of WordPress 3.1.3 and the Genesis framework. After doing some testing and adding the following filters to my functions.php: <code>remove_action('wp_head', 'genesis_canonical'); remove_action('wp_head', 'rel_canonical');</code> ... what I get is this: With the plugin active + NO "remove action" - duplicate canonical tags

With the plugin disabled + NO "remove action" - a single canonical tag
With the plugin disabled + A "remove action" - no canonical tag I have tried using only one of these remove_actions at a time, and then combining them both. Regardless, as long as I have the plugin active I get duplicate canonical tags. Is this a bug in the plugin, perhaps somehow enabling the canonical functionality of WordPress? Thanks for your help everyone. Robert Dempsey0 -
SEO friendly way to move a wordpress installation
Hi Mozzers I am working with a client who currently has 2 wordpress installations on their site - one is in the root domain and one is in a subdirectory /hub which is where the majority of their content is. They want to move all of their content over from the /hub directory into the root installation. Any ideas of the most SEO friendly way to do this? Thanks for any suggestions.
