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.

Hreflang in header...should I do a Sitemap?
A client implemented hreflang tags in the site header. MOZ says you aren't supposed to do an hreflang Sitemap as well. My question is how should I do a Sitemap now (or should I do one at all)?

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

1 duplicate I have recently transfered my old html site to wordpress.
To keep the urls the same I am using a plugin which appends .htm at the end of each page. My old site home page was index.htm. I have created index.htm in wordpress as well but now there is a conflict of duplicate content. I am using latest post as my home page which is index.php Question 1.
Should I also use redirect 301 im htaccess file to transfer index.htm page authority (19) to www.example.com If yes, do I use
Redirect 301 /index.htm http://www.example.com/index.php
or
Redirect 301 /index.htm http://www.example.com Question 2
Should I change my "Home" menu link to http://www.example.com instead of http://www.example.com/index.htm that would fix the duplicate content, as indx.htm does not exist anymore. Is there a better option? Thanks0 -
How do I redirect my old PHP website to my new Java website?
Please could you help? My old website is written in php. I've created a new design of the website in Java. I'll be using the same domain name though. example.com and I'd like to pass my link juice to my new redesigned website. When I turn the domain name to point to my new website how do I make sure pages that are ranked in google that don't exist on my new website transfer 301 from my old website to a similar page on my new website. Old Website Example example.com/bootcampuk.php New Website Example example.com/bootcamps.jsp Many Thanks, Rob

Too early? Rebuilt website from .asp to .php... Internal pages not ranking at all!
Am I jumping the gun on expecting results? I recently switched our ecommerce website from .asp to .php (new site went up May 15th) but we did not switch domain names. we seems to be doing better until a few days ago when traffic took a steep drop... (not like we were getting that much in the first place either) I was wondering if I'm doing something completely wrong or do i need to wait longer? Are big swings normal when relaunching a website? am I just being too anxious? The internal pages are getting no juice and I dont know why... I know i need to build on the links to the site? but am I doing something else completely wrong to see the orgranic search results drop down to almost nothing? I'm really new to SEO and would love if i could get another opinion on http://www.moondoggieinc.com. Thanks! Kristy

First Link Priority question - image/logo in header links to homepage
I have not found a clear answer to this particular aspect of the "first link priority" discussion, so wanted to ask here. Noble Samurai (makers of Market Samurai seo software) just posted a video discussing this topic and referencing specifically a use case example where when you disable all the css and view the page the way google sees it, many times companies use an image/logo in their header which links to their homepage. In my case, if you visit our site you can see the logo linking back to the homepage, which is present on every page within the site. When you disable the styling and view the site in a linear path, the logo is the first link. I'd love for our first link to our homepage include a primary keyword phrase anchor text. Noble Samurai (presumably seo experts) posted a video explaining this specifically http://www.noblesamurai.com/blog/market-samurai/website-optimization-first-link-priority-2306 and their suggested code implementations to "fix" it http://www.noblesamurai.com/first-link-priority-templates which use CSS and/or javascript to alter the way it is presented to the spiders. My web developer referred me to google's webmaster central: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66353 where they seem to indicate that this would be attempting to hide text / links. Is this a good or bad thing to do?
