can see blog; however says”page not found”

Open your theme header.php, then copy and paste whatever is in between…
<title>
and
</title>
here..

Sounds to me like there’s a problem getting the title….

I don’t see that the title is closed… I think this is what you are looking for? This is in “Appearance -> Editor -> header.php

<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> RSS Feed” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />
<link rel=”alternate” type=”application/atom+xml” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> Atom Feed” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘atom_url’); ?>” />

Opening the Atahualpa Theme Options for header, there isn’t any html in there. For instance it says “Style the blog title font except the color and font-weight (= next options)” and I have: “margin: 0;
padding: 0;
letter-spacing:-1px;
line-height: 1.0em;
font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light, serif;
font-size: 410%;

Thanks for whatever thoughts you might have

It’s ok i found where the theme handles the title.

bfa_meta_tags.php in the theme functions folder.

There’s alot of conditional checking surrounding the title…

Simply as a test can you replace this line in header.php..
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/functions/bfa_meta_tags.php'); ?>
With..
<title>Test title</title>

And fire up your page, let me know if you see the test title ok…

I did find this in header.php and added the text as you said; it still says “page not found”. I removed the <title>Test title</title> from it right now because it seems to really slow down my blog from loading.

I did a search on my theme “Atahualpa” and the words “page not found”; and found that there are a great many blogs with this same issue.

Looking back at my theme, with your information, there are “Atahualpa Theme Options”

Inside of it is a tab called “SEO”

Inside of it is a place for “Homepage Meta Description” (mine is blank)

and “Homepage Meta Keywords” (mine is blank)

and “Use Bytes For All SEO options?” I have “no” clicked. Next to it is this explanation ” Leave this at “No” if you’re using ANY SEO plugin such as “All-in-one-SEO”, or any plugin that deals with meta tags in some way. If both a SEO plugin and the theme’s SEO functions are activated, the meta tags of your site may get messed up, which might affect your search engine rankings.
If you leave this at “No”, the next SEO options (except the last one, “Nofollow RSS…”) will become obsolete, you may just skip them.
Note: Even if you set this to “Yes”, the SEO functions listed below (except “Nofollow RSS…”) will NOT be activated IF the theme recognizes that a SEO plugin is activated.

I don’t want to mess up my search engine rankings; should I fill the description and key words to see if that makes a difference?

I appreciate your taking the time to look at this issue.

PS; also it might help to know that in that SEO file is this:

Nofollow RSS, trackback & admin links? It explains “Make RSS, trackback & admin links “nofollow”? Same purpose as above.”
I have it as “No”

You’d be better off asking these questions on the Atahualpa website, were they can give you a solution more suitable..

I’ve never used the theme myself…..

It was the Redirection plug-in; once deactivated the problem went away.

Thank you so much for your help!
