Esmi, you are awesome
thankyou that worked a treat..

Thanks esmi I’ll look into that now.

I’ll let you know how I go

Playing around a bit more, it seems as thou the media library has been disabled.

Images are uploading & displaying ok on the blog.

Just cannot not use or add to the media library.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix.

I have full permission, have no idea why I cannot edit the header.php.

Working with the theme editor is normally a walk in the park, if you know what you need to do.. I’ll keep trying, frustrating thou..
Otherwise FTP the a new file just might be the only way.

I have also contacted support of the theme creator, see if they can shed some light on the subject. As every owner of the theme will have a first link priority issue.

Cheers

Zeniph

I have tried to implement the changes you suggested.

Had no problems with making the suggested changes to the style sheet, but the header.php wont update my changes.
When I press update instead of staying in the theme editor, I am redirected back to the home page of the site. When I check go back into the theme editor and check the header.php, no changes have been made.

This is what I am doing

Deleteing

<div id="logo" class="left">
	<a>/"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/MHI_Banner D.jpg" width="960px" height="150px"" alt="" /></a>

	</div>

and REPLACING with this:

<div class="left" id="logo">
<a href="https://michaelhomesinc.ca">Edmonton Home Builders</a>
</div>

Not sure what to do or what I am doing wrong.

Cheers

Hi,

Chip.. I agree with you, this did confuse me a bit.. (mind you it seems that is easily done these days)

Internal links are, by definition not outbound links.

Zenip. Thankyou very much for you help on this, you I will implement and let you know how I go. I agree about the inbound links but I like to follow all good SEO practices, giving the site as much SEO EDGE as I possibly can.

Hope you are all having a great Easter break.

Cheers

Hi Chip,

Thanks for your help and suggestion

I must admit I am more confused now thou. What do you mean by ‘content issue’. I understand that the content will help the sites rankings, I dont understand how the content on the site can fix how google actually views the site on arrival.

Are you saying that first link First Link Priority has no value.. That I should not worry about it. As it makes perfect sense to me what Ben is saying in his video.

First Link Prioritisation occurs when Google looks at a webpage and analyses its outbound links.
Anchor text links put there for SEO value is what we want Google to see, (the anchor text in the link infers meaning), however, Google will completely ignore it. Instead Google only sees the graphical link (which contains no anchor text). ??

(And no, for the curious, putting an “Alt” tag on the image link won’t serve as a substitute to anchor text).

The First Link Priority rule states that when a page links more than once to the same target page, Google will completely ignore all links after the first, often with negative SEO consequences.

When I disable styles and view the site that I am working on this is
the layout that is viewed. Which is exactly the problem as described in Ben’s post.

Header Banner Image.jpg.
* Home
* Contact Us
* Privacy Policy
o Disclaimer
o Terms & Condition
* Sitemap
o Resources
* Edmonton Home Builders (THIS IS THE ANCHOR TEXT LINK THAT SHOULD BE FIRST before the Header banner Image)
* About
o HomePro New Home Warranty
o Careers

and so on etc. etc. etc.

Thank you for offering you help.

Cheers

Hi, esmi.

I have a reasonable understanding of SEO and how to link to external sites in my content. That is not my problem. Thank you for your help :).

The test shown in the video shows you exactly how the search engines view your site on arrival. On doing this test, the first thing the search engines see on arrival on the site I am working on is the header that links to the home page

To optimize the site properly the first thing the search engine should see on arrival is your main keyword in a anchor text link, then the header.

The code below will fix the problem. My problem is I dont know where to paste it. Should anything be deleted, and what parts of the code should I change.

This is the code that has to be implemented
>>>>>>>copied from Noble Samurai Blog <<<<<<<<

First Link Priority

creating first link priority.
CSS Method

Using CSS you can have a simple anchor with desired text and replace the text with an image.
HTML Required

Your link text

CSS Required

.logo{
display:block;
text-indent:-1000em;
background: url(images/noble-samurai-logo.png) no-repeat 0 0;
width:90px;
height:90px;
}

Any suggestions..?

Is this post no long active

and another

Hi, I have been having this same issue for some time. Still haven’t managed to get it working right.

I have already posted this here on this forum , but the post has gone cold..

I have contacted my host and this was there response.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quote <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Mod-rewrite is enabled. However, we utilize php-suexec, i believe that requires a slight mod with the wordpress code. You can post this additional info, and I am sure someone will pop in with the correct answer, if not let me know.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> End Quote <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As much as I would like to have a pretty permalink using just the %postname% like Chanel. I hear everyone’s warnings not to do so, not that I have a clue of the consequences. But must be for good reason..

I just would like to see the ‘index’ part disappear, and be left with only /%post_id%/%postname%/

A little note here, in regards to Chanels comment:

Sidenote: My frustration is with responders who just redirect you to something on wordpress codex that you’ve already thoroughly read thru. If you’re unable to assist, just do not reply.

I will appreciate all advice, whether it gives the final outcome I am after or not. The fact that you are willing to assist me is always graciously appreciated. For that I thank you in advance.

I have a reply from my host.

Thank you,

My host is Thirdsphere and I can only find this reference to
PHP being:- PHP version: 5.2.8/w Zend.
Thats it, no other mention that I can see anywhere

I will send a email to support and see how we go.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I have just upgraded to 2.7 hoping that this some how would fix this problem of having to have /index.php/ displayed in every permalink.
I would like to find out how to get rid of the index.php

If I remove index.php from the Permalink Settings Custom Structure to just read :- /%post_id%/%postname%/

I get this error message :-

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I have read and reread so many posts and FAQ topics on this subject I have totally confused myself with it all.

Does anyone know of a easy fix for this problem..

Thanks for your help. ??
I have got WP up and running and have not had it crash for
24 hrs… Yeah…..
But still no visual editor.
I tried using FireFox and IE both are the same no visual editor.

My host suggested that I download a copy directly from
WordPress and Install it myself manually.

I think a new host might be a better answer.

I’ll let you know how I go..

Thanks a heap
