Where is the signup form on the page? All I could find was a link.

This is just a thought, but I was reading the Codex page for is_page, and I noticed the examples use arrays for multiple is_page evaluations. Might be worth a try.

So instead of:

elseif (is_page( 'page1'||'page2'||'page3'||'page4' ) ) {

you would have

elseif (is_page( array ( 'page1', 'page2', 'page3', 'page4') ) ) {

Thanks, Mika! I’ve never tried the plugin myself (nor have I tried the trunk), so I wouldn’t know.

I can’t say for sure, but did you import all of the media (photos, mainly) from the old sites?

Yeah, it’s just a visual thing. The button that usually says Publish changes to say Schedule.

So if you’re ever scheduling a post and the button still says Publish, stop and double-check the date you put.

Yeah, I agree. You’re good to go.

Are you able to access the files on your server? If so, find the robots.txt file, which should be in the same place you installed WordPress. Open it up and see what it says.

You want to make sure that the robots.txt file is actually fixed before submitting your site to Google.

Wait, are you saying that your robots.txt is still blocking all of those folders, even though you unchecked the box? Could you double-check and see what the robots.txt says right now?

Yeah, Google only checks your website once in a while (no idea how often that is, probably not often if they think you’ve blocked them).

Try manually submitting your site to Google.

This is possible, but not recommended, because it annoys visitors. Even forcing links to open in a new tab/window is frowned upon.

Visitors nowadays are fairly web-savvy. If they want to go back to your site, they know how to use the back button, and if they don’t, you really can’t stop them from leaving. Focus on making a site that people will want to come back to.

Could you change max-width: 100%; to

max-width: 600px;
max-height: 400px;

If you don’t want that applied to all images, you could create a special image class for it, and give the needed images that class under Advanced settings.

Go to Settings > Reading, and find the section that says Search Engine Visibility. Is the box checked? If so, that’s the problem.

Go to the Pages overview, find the page, and select “Quick Edit”. Some options appear, and one is “Allow Comments”. Uncheck the box, hit the Update button, and check your page. You should be good to go.

Skype is doing this, I remember that from when I used it more often. There’s a setting somewhere that can disable it.

If you want to fix it without disabling Skype, you can either shrink the text size or widen the sidebar.

Can’t argue with that.
