Thanks for the explanation, Otto.

I don’t think there’s any evidence that implementing Facebook comments in this way will improve SEO. I’ve read that Google has already gotten better at crawling and indexing JavaScript comment systems like Disqus, LiveFyre and Facebook comments.

Personally, I’ll just continue to use the normal Facebook comment implementation on my sites.

So, what did you end up doing to solve this problem?

Hmmm, I have this add-on actually. I’ll try to disable it and see if this problem continues to occur. Thanks!

I would’ve said it’s a browser extension that’s causing the issue, but I’ve tried in Chrome, Firefox, and IE. The problem occurred in all of them, as far as I can remember.

I’ll just post it here for everyone’s benefit.

It’s a very annoying problem, but it’s hard to debug.

I think I tried to reproduce it on a fresh WordPress install, but couldn’t. However, I wasn’t able to pinpoint the source of the problem after activating plugins and a custom theme.

The way I’m dealing with this issue now is by switching to the HTML editor after finishing the article and saving. That way the divs don’t get added.

Check your website for TimThumb vulnerability. I know someone who was hacked because of this vulnerability and his website was returning blank. Your problem may not be related to WP Super Cache.

I solved the problem by manually uninstalling WP Super Cache and then re-installing it.

But I’d still like to know what caused that problem and is it going to happen again?!

Hi there, I woke up this morning and found my site returning a blank white screen. First thing I did was rename ‘wp-super-cache’ to ‘wp-super-cache-disabled’ and the website came back up. I don’t have any errors in ‘error_log’.

I’ve been using WP Super Cache for a long time and it’s always worked. Recently, I made some modifications to my .htaccess

I added these instructions:

ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 1 seconds"
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2 years"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2 years"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2 years"
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 2 years"
ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 2 years"
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 2 years"
ExpiresByType image/ico "access plus 2 years"

Also recently I installed WordPress SEO by Yoast.

I’m thinking there might be a conflict between WP SEO and WP Super Cache, because the .htaccess instructions are used on another site as well without any problems, but WP SEO is only installed on the site where the white screen occurred.

Anyway, these all are only guesses. I’d really like to know what the real source of this problem is. Please let me know how to debug this. I can’t find anything in ‘error_log’

Thanks!

One scenario where you might wanna override the template is when you have a long title and prefer to use the entire 65-70 characters for the post title and not have the site name in there, so that you avoid having your title in the SERPs snipped with “…”

But yeah, I think having the SEO title respect the global template is a more useful implementation.

Yeah, I suspected that this behavior was a design choice rather than a bug. I can see how some people could find it more useful than the behavior that you and I prefer.

Hopefully he’ll add it as an option soon enough…

Hehe, I came here to post about the same thing.

I agree with you. The per-post, SEO title should still respect the title template. My title template is “%%title%% | WP ;)”. When I use an “SEO title”, I simply want it to replace %%title%% from the template–not replace the whole thing!

‘visits’ and ‘pageviews’ are two different metrics in Google Analytics. You can create a custom report that shows the custom variable next to pageviews associated with it.

If you want to learn, then DIY. But don’t expect yourself to produce a professional looking and custom-tailored site. (Ecommerce plugins are templates and may not always work exactly like you would like.)

There’s a couple of (maybe more) years of learning ahead of you before you’re able to make a truly professional looking ecommerce site yourself.

On the other hand, if you want to launch a business now, then definitely hire a professional (a good and expensive one). And don’t haggle over rates.

I think this will work for you.

Link your AdSense account to your Analytics account. And then use Google Analytics for WordPress by Yoast and set it to segment your traffic by the “Authors” custom variable.

Now, you’d be able to go to your Analytics reports and see AdSense earnings per author.
