Does anyone know how to find functions/codes/etc in WordPress?
-
Right now, I'm working on solving a relatively easy WP issue (easy, because someone told me what to do. Thanks iNetSeo). I have to replace:
<span class="post_date"></span class="post_date"> and replace it with <span class="post_date date="" updated"=""></span class="post_date> But, I can't find the "_<span class="post_date">"</span class="post_date">_For a number of my WP problems, the hardest part is just located the code/function/markup I need to replace. Does anyone know where this might usually be stored on a website? Also, does anyone know if there's any tool that would allowed to just put "various function" in a search box, and wordpress take you to where it was on the backend of your site, so you could edit it?
I included a screenshot of our editors, but I already opened them all, pasted the code in Ctrl-F to no avail, but maybe I missed something.
Thanks for helping with my frustrating scavenger hunt!

Turned out to be under functions.php under entry-date.
Thanks everyone!

Turns out it was under entry-date, just not a file I had looked at.
Thanks so much!

Hi Dave,
Not in index, nor single, but thanks especially for pointing out single. I wouldn't have thought to look there. We don't have an archive for some reason.
Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm actually trying to fix a bunch of the structured data errors I have from GWT. I have a ton of them, and they all have to do with this one piece of code. Apparently, it's a common WP problem. I will try to find those files now. Thanks!

P.S. I also checked my functions.php via someone else's suggestions, but I didn't see it there either.

I'm guessing you are doing this to add data to a snippet?
I would check these three places. Most WP themes have them here:
index.php (main Blog Page)
single.php (single Post Page)
archive.php (archive Page) -
To no avail, but thank you. Excellent idea! I actually just realized I don't even have

I assume this has to be in the Single Post Php file somewhere, so I'm just going to post that to see if there's some synonym for entry date or post date that, I"m not seeing:
get_header();
setup_postdata($post);
get_sidebar();
?>get_template_part( 'loop', 'single' );
?>Kemp & Ruge Law Group
$off=1;
query_posts('cat=5&orderby=DATE&order=ASC');
while(have_posts()):the_post();
?>$off++;
endwhile;
wp_reset_query();
?>query_posts('p=109');
while(have_posts()) :the_post();
the_content();
endwhile;
wp_reset_query();
?> -
Try searching for <span class="entry-date">in your single-post.php file and see if that turns up what you are looking for.</span class="entry-date">

Does a similar CMS fabric/theme used by 2 colleagues, cause SEO issues?
Does using the same CMS fabric/theme with substantially different content for each website but the same business address (on google places and the websites) cause SEO issues? For example: 2 colleagues with somewhat similar services located at the same business addresses desire to use the same CMS fabric /theme but will have different content on the sites. Will this hurt their SEO / should they use a different website skin/theme?

Tips on finding the right Senior Designer / Design Director
Hello Everyone, I manage a fairly large educational website that we are looking to completely redesign to improve the overall site user experience and usability. In the past I, a non-designer, business person, would just roughly draw how I thought the site should look and our developer (who is good, but not a web designer) would just try his best to make everything look profession. Over the years, it has become painfully obvious that we need to invest in more design expertise and move towards a modern, smartly designed website. So my question: Where are the best places to find good freelance designers? I have of course conducted web searches, browsed elance, and asked my network for referrals. However, I am finding that most of the really good ones, ones who have to ability to take charge and lead us through this entire process, and who have at least a basic understanding of SEO principles, work for larger integrated development shops who also expect their people to develop the new site as well. We already have a developer and are primarily looking for the design expertise. Does anyone in the Moz community have any suggestions or even referrals? Thanks! Eric

Anyone using CloudFlare on multiple sites?
We are considering using CloudFlare as a CDN for a large group of sites. The fees are $5 to $200 depending on many factors. We tried the free trial on one site and were impressed with the results. I am wondering if any of you have any longer term experience with this and performance metrics, etc.

Is there any negative SEO effect when using Wordpress for your Blog?
I have a site entirely done in html, no CMS used. The blog page however, is wordpress. Wondering if this will effect us negatively in terms of SEO, having the blog that is linked to our site, a wordpress site. My gut is absolutely not, but the questions was asked....what do you think?

Missing Meta Description Tag - Wordpress Tag
I am going through my crawl diagonostics issues and I have lots of "Missing Meta Description Tags". However when I look at the url's they are Wordpress Tags, which do not have a meta description. Shall I just ignore these errors or should I find a way to add a meta description? Is it important?
