The meta tag is purely an Open Graph (https://ogp.me/) tag and the tag around it does not have any impact on how you display the text. If all you want is to have a small subtext type text below your title that describes what the post is about, then you can do this any number of ways. The easiest is just to add it to your post body using some styles, but as you saw with just using italics it does not have the same impact. Otherwise you would need a custom solution built into your theme. Something like this could be built any number of ways, one way that comes to mind first is to add a metabox to the post editor that saves a “subtext” custom meta to the post. Then in your single.php template file you could grab that post meta and output it right below the title and pair it with some custom CSS to display it however you’d like.

There is not a plugin I’m aware of that will do this automatically for you and if you are uncomfortable with PHP coding you may need to work with a developer who could do it for you.

There isn’t really a general or ballpark estimate to give here. Depends on too many things, like the designers/developers skill level and the client needs. You could buy a theme club subscription and just throw everything together in an hour, which may very well work for some sites that need nothing custom. There are other sites that may require a lot more work.

There are just too many factors at play here to be able to give an estimate to then use on all the sites.

To keep things consolidated I would probably look at going about this with a single installation. You could with a custom theme create a different look for your e-commerce and blog areas of the site that are different but also complimentary, or just totally different, it’s custom so do what you want!

If you wanted to have two separate sites with two separate theme’s you could do that too. You could just install WordPress in a blog folder subdirectory. You could setup WordPress multisite (which is like having tow separate installs, but sharing a single database and codebase, but also still being unique…).

The all around simplest solution is probably WordPress Multisite and using a “subdirectory” install. More information on this is in the link below.

I believe what you are asking is how to take the SEO title from whatever SEO plugin you are using, and you want to output it within your post. The SEO description is going to be stored in the post meta. You will just need to modify your theme template files (I recommend looking at doing it with a child theme https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Child_Themes), and in your single.php file under the title get and output that post meta.

You could also do this with content filters but one wrong conditional and you could make a mess also.

Depends on how you are adding your adverts. The simplest way around this would be either have unique landing pages for each set of adverts so that you can just link to a specific landing page. Otherwise you could look at something custom where you can simply append a query string to the URL of the landing page and your custom code then determines which adverts to display. Keep in mind that any sort of page caching (W3 Total Cache, Varnish, etc) will make this not work properly.

Hi – I tried this on Chrome & Firefox on a few various CPT’s and taxonomies and could not reproduce this. If you can reliably reproduce it and it’s not actually an issue of custom code or a plugin – might be worth posting to WordPress trac, or if you narrow it down to a specific plugin maybe reach out to the plugin’s author.

A cheap way around figuring out the .htaccess rules would be to use something like the Redirection plugin.

I would suggest contacting your host, I would first think that maybe there is a server configuration error here. Maybe missing some SSL libraries that need installed on the server or something.

Does your reverse proxy setup eventually pass over the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO header to WordPress and did you add the HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO if statement shown in the codex page below? WordPress’ is_ssl function may not be seeing the site as being loaded over HTTPS so it tries to redirect itself back to HTTPS which then does the same exact thing.

Not out of the box. You could certainly create a custom solution that does this but chances are you are better off with maybe a plugin that you enter contact information in and then can embed it into pages using a shortcode. I do not know of any plugin like this off hand. Hopefully this points you in the right direction!

If the wp-content directory is empty, then chances are your only option to bring the site back is if you have a backup. Hosts normally do not keep backups for you. Good news is at least your database is likely still intact since it is not contained in the wp-content direcotyr. However your theme, plugins, and media uploads will need to be replaced with a backup.

Google does not need any specific “code” or anything to find content, Google finds everything! However whether it actually indexes your content is a completely different discussion. There are too many factors at play to really find the reason or a solution just by looking at the site. I’d suggest if the sitemap doesn’t help your site get picked up then maybe use Google Webmaster Tools which is a tool provided free by Google for webmasters like yourself trying to see whats going on with your site being indexed.

It sounds like you are trying to remove comments from your static pages but want to leave the comments on your blog.

You could do this with the “Disable Comments” plugin, simply install it and in the settings disable comments on your static pages.

Hi reabo,

Have you tried using a Google Sitemap plugin and submitting your sitemap to Google? This may help your site get crawled and index more efficiently.

You have two options, the easiest of which is going to likely be just making your blog a subdomain instead of a subdirectory, so blog.xyz.com. Then just setup a redirect from xyz.com/blog to the new subdomain.

If you absolutely want to keep the blog in a subdirectory, you likely would need some form of reverse proxying … which is a completely different discussion and probably not suited for this forum. This route is not ideal and if you want to set it up it would be best to hire someone who is familiar with doing that sort of thing.

Changing to a subdomain is easiest ??
