In reply to: [Polylang] Can you use English (international) as a language?I see, the hreflang is indeed just ‘en’, not something like ‘en-us’. Still, the code of my website starts with <html
lang=en-US>. I’m not sure what that means, u=but you say that should not matter for google?Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [ColorMag] Use additional lay-outs without ElementorI tried, but when I install demo’s like the Dark Demo, elementor is automatically installed and gives me access to the widgets which aren’t available in any other way.
But in the end, I decided to just go with elementor, so no problem ??

In reply to: How to properly change URL of live siteIn the end I bought a new ssl for my old domain, and used the .htaccess lines as recommended by tobifjellner. Thanks for your help! Works flawless now.

In reply to: How to properly change URL of live siteAlright, seems it worked – almost.
In the end, I only added this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} meerdangames.nl$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://beyondvideogaming.com/nl/$1 [R=301,L]As Polylang already implemented redirects for the English part (to /en). So I only had to worry about the Dutch part.
Thing is, I also had to switch my existing ssl certificate over from the original domain to the new one. When I use https://, the redirect as set by htaccess works like a charm. However, when I use https://, I get notifications about the expired/not valid ssl. Is there a way to enforce using HTTP instead of HTTPS, ONlY for one domain? I tried including the following:
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}but that caused an overload in redirects. Even including RewriteCond !%{HTTP_HOST} beyondvideogaming.com$ [NC] (to avoid endless loops of being forced https and http back and forth on the NEW domain) didnt work, but as you might have figured out by now I’m a complete noob in this. So maybe I’m just messing with stuff I dont understand.
Any ideas if I can solve this?

In reply to: How to properly change URL of live siteDefinitely be making a back up before doing all this. I’ll let you know how it went. Might try it tomorrow.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: How to properly change URL of live siteSounds great! Thanks! Not just for the solution, but the great explanation as well. Might try it out tomorrow, but to be honest I’m actually quite scared to change the domain name, haha.
Should I have to think of anything else? Both domains are already pointing towards the same hosting. I’ll deactivate the Multiple Domain plugin and probably set the international domain as the wordpress address and site address in the settings (that’s currently the dutch domainname)?
Sorry for asking so much, I’ve never done this kind of stuff and I’m kinda scared I will wreck the website.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: How to properly change URL of live siteThank you for the input! Really appreciate it.
I think my initial explanation wasn’t clear though. I’m actually using one website. One wordpress install, one login, one hosting, one… everything. Except for the domains, I’m using two. I use Polylang to manage both languages, and a plugin called Multiple Domain to use both the domains for the same wordpress.
As I have a ton of posts and pages, I’d rather not manually add a redirect for every single page/post. I’d rather have some logic rule saying:
if [domainname1.com] replace by [domainname2.com/nl]
if [domainname2.com] replace by [domainname2.com/en]Does that make any sense? Meaning everything after .com stays the same for every single redirect (i.e: if it was domainname1.com/post123, it automatically becomes domainname2.com/nl/post123. Is that something I can accomplish by editting the .htaccess?
Hi there, sorry for the late reply. I thought I did but… apparently I didn’t :/ Thanks for fixing it so soon, great support!
Hi, thanks for your quick reply. I immediately downloaded the update yesterday and checked the behavior of the anchors, but it seems to be still the same. You can have a look at my page again as an example.
Can I provide you with more information to make it easier to sort this out?
Thanks a lot.

In reply to: Remove old (oprhan?) metadataThanks for the advice. I just tried WP-Optimize, but it did not removed the data strangely enough. When I export my articles, I can still see the data once added by an now no longer installed plugin. Any other ideas?

In reply to: How to COMPLETELY hide a category?Thanks for your input. I tried this one and it does exactly what it says, but not more than that. For example, the default Categories-widget will still show whatever you’ve excluded. And I am using the Glob theme, using widgets to create a dynamic frontpage with optional even random articles, and if I’d use that the old ones can still show up.
Maybe whatever I want is just too complicated, but I’d stil wanted to try ??

In reply to: Different static home page for smaller screensManaged to make the website responsive with CSS media queries ??
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Different static home page for smaller screensThank you for your suggestion. CSS Media Queries resize images automatically to fit the size of the browser, right? Isn’t that already implemented in Twenty Thirteen? The problem with my static front page is that I’m using a few widgets instead of plain text or standard images, and those widgets get all messed up when rescaled. Therefore, I wanted to set a limit. All screens with a width equal or larger than a certain amount of pixels should see my front age as it is right now, and if the screen size is smaller, you should automatically see either a different front page (for which I can use more simple text and images, suitable for rescaling) or the standard blog roll, which should be fine on a mobile website. I already locked the front page as it is now on a minimum width of 990 px.

In reply to: Different static home page for smaller screensAnother idea just popped into my head: Use my current, wide, static front page for people with big screens (desktop users), and show the standard blog roll (the default front page for wordpress) if you use a smaller screen. Is this somehow possible? Maybe easier than managing two different front pages?
