Current WP version have pretty decent SEO support. IMHO you don’t need any external SEO plugins (except something to generate Google Sitemap maybe), yet you should pay close attention to two things:

1. take a great care of the content – optimize it, learn to write good titles and headings (with SEO AND readers in mind), give some meaningful names (I mean titles as well as filenames) to your images and so on; but be careful not to “overoptimize”

2. check out the theme that you use – is it SEO Friendly? Does it validate (W3C) without any errors? Does it make a proper use of h1,h2… tags and paragraphs (<p>)? The images and links – are they properly formatted (“alt” and “title” attributes)?

That being said, if you take a good care about these things you should go well without any seo plugins ??

It might be the case of your hosting account. I once used shared hosting that didn’t even allow manual update via dashboard, I just had to update everything via FTP.

Check file permissions and check if you can force WP to update by manually clicking relevant link in you WP dashboard. If it doesn’t work it means there’s a problem with the hosting. If it does then we’ll investigate it further ??

It cannot work. Should be:

if ($company=="site/en/listing/bpa") {
echo "It works";
}

notice the brackets and operator. By single “=” you do not compare the value of the variable but just set the variable value.

BTW, I don’t think this is a strictly WordPress related question. It’s a PHP question so I guess it should be asked e.g. somwhere there: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/php

Synfidie,

Your websiite loads quite fast on my PC too, however there are a few things you could probably consider. After a quick check with Firebug I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of various JS libraries loaded. According to the Firebug stats they take quite a lot of time to get downloaded.

Perhaps then you should try any of the caching plugins like for example W3 Total Cache? Some of the libraries are downloaded directly from google or WordPress api sites and you probably can do nothing about it but the plugin should allow you to minimize and cache all other scripts and also pack them into the one library called at the end of website download. The same is about CSS.

I think it should help a bit. If not, why not to ask your host to check their logs – maybe the server isn’t that fast…?

Probably there’s some kind of jQuery issue. If you feel like you could manage it try to force WordPress to use newer version. If not, just contact theme designer.

Perhaps you should…. upgrade your WordPress installation? Maybe this message is a bug but maybe it should be taken literally… ??

Not really. I’m myself also looking (however it’s not urgent) for a reliable and not too expensive hosting, preferably in UK (with UK IP). Now I use linuxpl.com here in Poland and I’m really glad of what they offer ??

Good luck anyway ??

Your welcome ??

I know it’s not nice to “up” my own post, but 4 days and I still didn’t find any solution. Does anyone have any ideas maybe…?

Thanks!

I’m glad I could help at least a little ??

All right! I’m glad I’ve helped. So let’s get to the “white screen of death” ??

First FTP to your WP directory, open the wp-config.php file and try to put this directive:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

somwhere near the top (after the <?php tag). Save the file, clear your browser’s cache and try to login. If it doesn’t help try to increase memory limit like setting it to 128M or 256M instead of 64M.

If it still doesn’t help just delete whole the /wp-admin directory and reupload it via FTP.

And if this won’t help either, we’ll try to try other solutions ??

Take a look at this thread:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/php-error-notice-when-updating-plug-ins-since-37-update?replies=19

Although it’s about update to WP 3.7 the problem seems to be similar. Also from what you’re saying I’m pretty sure this has nothing to do with WordPress itself as the error means that your system cannot establish connection with WP servers.

I guess there might be some kind of DNS isssue on your server, maybe also some kind of weird firewall setting or misconfigured hosts blacklist. Anyway you should just wait a few hours, a day maybe – if there’ll still be the same problem you should definitly push your host (admin or support team) hard, because it’s almost certainly their fault.

Good luck!

Skottyboy,

Indeed, you were a little too fast. In fact the URL setting in WordPress dashboard isn’t really the way to move your site from one address to another.

In order to change WordPress URL (or – let’s say – move your site) you need to log into your database. Whith mySql manager like phpMySql you need to find two places where the URL is stored and change it directly in the database.

Here is the step-by-step information (just scroll down to the “Changing the URL directly in the database” section):

Nandasi,

Most likely there was an error in the code that you used or, what’s even more probable, you made a simple mistake while copy-paste. It’s quite hard to tell you exactly how to make it work without seeing the actual functions.php file, but around line 40 you should look for things like:

– if you new code starts with <? or <?php then before it should be ?> tag

– if you new code doesn’t start with aforementioned statements then it probably should be before ?> tag

However, if you’re not a php programmer and we can’t see you functions.php file getting things back to work would be a kind of trial-and-error process…

Another idea:

The statements you previously had in your .htaccess are the Apache directives. You deleted them so maybe try putting them back (and it has nothing to do with the WordPress cache plugins, so don’t activate it back) – put them back but set the time for someting about 1 second like perhpas:

ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access 1 second"
...

Then clear your browser’s cache wait a sec or two and check it out ??
