Titel in header.php
-
I have noticed that in theme file I have 2 header.php. First of all I have no clue why I have 2 of them. I guess that is not correct.
Especially I wonder on difference in the title tag. I wonder what the difference it makes on the site. I have always name of the site behind every title, can be this causing this?

Hallo Lewis,
I hope you had nice weekend:-)
Unfortunately the error still appeared:-( It just did not want the: require('./wp-blog-header.php')
But was looking for this one in the error require('wp-blog-header.php');
So I did all the steps back as I thought it did not sorted out:-(
-
No problem - Glad I was able to help.
Best of luck in the future!

Thank you very much Lewis! I just did it exactly as you said. I appreciate your time very much. You know I was looking into this already 1week from morning till evening and was quite desperate. Normally this error was in error logs every day, so I will now monitor it in cpanel if it will not appear again. I hope I will never see it as was nearly ready on some medication
Thank you so much Lewis!

Sorry, I copied the wrong file path. I meant this one:
public_html/villasdiani.com
-
Thank you very much Lewis,
But here the index.php looks very different:-(
-
Glad it worked!
Yeah, you just need to make the same change to the following index.php file and that will solve that problem too:
public_html/villasdiani.com/wp-content/themes/decorum/index.php
That should get you all up and running.
-
Thank you
-
It should just be the one inside the standard public_html folder as this is what is referenced in the PHP error (/home2/damian/public_html/index.php on line 17).
Hope this helps! Let us know how you get on.
-
Thank you very much Lewis. Now I am not sure which index.php you mean:-( I have so many:-(

Hi Iris,
It's hard to debug the problem without being able to see the issue, but it sounds like it's an incorrect file path. Open up your index.php file and find the following:
require('./wp-blog-header.php'); change it to this:
require('wp-blog-header.php');
Hopefully that will help fix your issue!

Thank you very much Alejandro and Lewis. The reason why I was asking this with header is because I am receiving all this errors regarding the header in hostgator cpanel: So I guess I have screwed up something with header?

As regarding of the title tag, I am using yoast seo. So does that basicly mean that I have the name of the site behind every titles. Oh my god I do not want this:-( how can I disable it please?

Like Alejandro has explained, the header.phpxxx isn't actually being used. .phpxxx is not a valid php extension, so they've added the xxx in so it isn't used in the wordpress theme.
Looking at the code in header.php, your title tag is here:
<title><?php if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) bloginfo('name'); else wp_title(); ?></title>
This basically means:
If you're on the homepage or on the front page of the website, show the blog name (which is pulled from your wordpress settings). If not, show the wordpress title (this will be pulled from the name of the page which the user is on).
If you wanted to make it so the order of the title page is different, for example, if you wanted your title tag to show 'Page Title Here | Site Name', you could go into your wordpress settings and should be able to change the order in which this is done... Alternatively, download a plugin such as Yoast's SEO plugin and you'll be able to customise everything there!

header.php is the valid file showing the head of your page.
header.phpxxx is simply a replacement file, so that in case you modify the header.php you have the option to save the original(header.php) file and replace it for the replacement file (header.phpxxx).dunno if i have explained.

Top hierarchy pages vs footer links vs header links
Hi All, We want to change some of the linking structure on our website. I think we are repeating some non-important pages at footer menu. So I want to move them as second hierarchy level pages and bring some important pages at footer menu. But I have confusion which pages will get more influence: Top menu or bottom menu or normal pages? What is the best place to link non-important pages; so the link juice will not get diluted by passing through these. And what is the right place for "keyword-pages" which must influence our rankings for such keywords? Again one thing to notice here is we cannot highlight pages which are created in keyword perspective in top menu. Thanks

Is there anything I need to worry about if... We show/hide header navigation based upon visit from external traffic?
Scenario: So imagine if LinkedIn turned off their main navigation/header if you landed on your personal profile via a search engine or via an external link. But if you were on LinkedIn when you found it, the navigation remains the same.

Change in sitemap from XML to PHP caused to lose all organic rankings
Hi MOZers, I need some advice for my website: http://www.scorepromotions.ca/ I recently changed the sitemap submitted to GWT from http://www.scorepromotions.ca/sitemap.xml to http://www.scorepromotions.ca/google-sitemap.php I deleted the previously submitted XML sitemap from GWT on Friday & submitted the PHP sitemap on the advice of our developer. On Saturday, I noticed that all our organic rankings disappeared. So, I changed the PHP sitemap back to XML sitemap on Sunday. I am hoping to see my organic rankings recover to previous levels. Does anyone have any advice or experience to share about this issue ? Ankush

How to solve a PHP problem to increase user experience ?
Hi all, I am having a peculiar PHP problem that is affecting the user experience of the site and thus, the SEO. The site is www.atlantiksurf.com and as you can see I use the QTranslate Plugin to manage the 3 different languages: www.atlantiksurf.com (Spanish) www.atlantiksurf.com/en www.atlantiksurf.com/de If you enter the german version: http://www.atlantiksurf.com/de/ , and you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you will notice there are a couple of posts that have (Español) in their Titles. This means that this particular post is written in Spanish and should only appear in the Spanish version of the site. Every single post is published on the three versions even when they are language orientated. The result is that when you press that specific Spanish title on the German version, you get nothing but this: http://www.atlantiksurf.com/de/aritz-aranburu-tendra-que-estar-un-mes-sin-competir/ Because obviously there is nothing there. If I go to the wordpress admin panel and search for the post manually, I can solve the problem by erasing all the default code of the different language versions that should not appear. But this is only a manual and non practical solution. The problem, I think, might be in the PHP orders that the Wordpress Theme is receiving from somewhere. I come to all of you SEomoz users as my last chance, because I've been months in discussions with Qtranslate users and php amateurs that cannot solve the issue. I know that this question isn't strictly about SEO, but in a way it is, because it must be affecting the way that Google look at us. Please, some help or orientation would be highly appreciated. rTqZI.png

Sitewide Header Link to Sister Site
Hi, I've just added a sitewide header image link (60 pages) from our general company site pointing to homepage of another brand site of a product that we also own (which focuses in depth on that one brand). I haven't put a nofollow on it as it's just info for those who'd like to reach our other site. Should I expect anything negative out of this for either site? Could it seem like it picked up 60 image links suddenly and raise a flag?
