  • It is the output of social media plugin, and the Iphorm Form Builder plugin but I don’t think that is what is causing any error.

    PS : You haven’t mentioned what specific error it causes anyway?

    These two modules are causing the problems :

    1]Email Agent
    2]Send to Friend

    Could you recall if this is a theme specific functionality or did you install a plugin for it?

    The solutions that you used are basic JS that will track PV not unique visits. There are several possible solutions based on your skill set.

    1]You can use the Google Analytics API to query UV if you are good with raw code.

    2]If you want a quick fix then you can use any of the readymade analytics plugins that install your GA code and display the statistics inside the dashboard to the admin. The only tweak you will have to do is to find the PHP template tag and the variable that outputs the UV count and use that tag in the frontend.

    You will have to migrate three things here

    1]Database (to move posts)
    2]Download the entire /themes/your–favorite-theme directory to your computer via FTP
    3]Download the /plugins/ directory

    Now upload all 3 to the new blog.

    There are three ways to do it with widgets

    1]Use raw PHP in the widget itself, which will allow you to use the is_home() conditional tag

    2]Edit your functions.php file and add all widgets through conditional tags. You will need the widget ID for such filtering. This might be easier to edit the widgets.php itself which is the third way

    3]When you open widgets.php you will find a list of all installed widgets something like this :

    <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/widgets/widget-about.php’);
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/widgets/widget-adsense.php’);
    include(TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/widgets/widget-ads.php’);
    ?>

    You can add your conditional tags there.

    Can I start over with the same name?

    Are you referring to the domain name or your site’s title? Either ways yes, you can start with the same name. Seems like someone deleted your WP install via FTP.

    I need to know why my more tag doesn’t work

    You are pasting it in the VISUAL EDITOR part of the text editor. Paste it in HTML and it will work just fine.

    Doing it via PHPmyadmin is the only resort left. Its like 5 minutes of work though.

    Login to your cpanel
    Head over to PHPmyadmin
    Search for wp_users table
    Find the admin, edit the email ID, then use password reset to get new password OR edit the password there itself by editing the MD5 hash (this is the complex way to do, you might not be interested in this method, just change the email ID field and reset the password that will kill the bug)

    Looks like you are bearing the brunt of a CSS kill switch. It could mean a lot of other reasons from your theme files to plugin. One needs to detect the source of the code before heading over to edit the file.

    Share your site’s URL so that volunteers can assist you.

    This is the correct code :

    <form action=”https://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl ” method=”post”>
    <div class=”optin_form-3″>
    <div><input type=”text” name=”name” placeholder=”Enter Name Here…”/></div>
    <div><input type=”text” name=”email” placeholder=”Enter Email Here…”/></div>
    <div><input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”Get Started!” /></div>
    </div>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_web_form_id” value=”1910839386″ />
    <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_split_id” value=”” />
    <input type=”hidden” name=”listname” value=”alleynewsletter” />
    <input type=”hidden” name=”redirect” value=”https://www.aweber.com/thankyou-coi.htm?m=text&#8221; id=”redirect_ed2016bbdd77f2283e01e0b0dac00cd4″ />
    <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_adtracking” value=”get_started” />
    <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_message” value=”1″ />
    <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_required” value=”name,email” />
    <input type=”hidden” name=”meta_tooltip” value=”” />

    The line of code “input type=”hidden” name=”meta_web_form_id” value=”1910839386″ and “name=”listname” value=”alleynewsletter”” is what tells Aweber where to send new subscribers to and to generate tracking info. The web for ID is linked to the specific aweber list that you built it for.

    If you insist on keeping the entire code then an alternative is to

    1]Paste the entire code which you posted initially into a new HTML file

    <html>
    <body>

    PASTE YOUR CODE HERE

    </body>
    </html>

    2]Save the file as .html

    3]Upload this file to your server

    4]Install an iframe in your sidebar and call this file from there. In that case it will show EXACTLY as it is supposed to without being interfered by any other CSS classes.

    If the white space issue gets sorted by deleting the JS then that is the way to go. Don’t worry, the form works exactly it should without the JS and all the input= fields that you see above, send all the correct data and subscribers to the correct list. What I am saying it : the JS is redundant. There are only 3 things that an Aweber form (or any client side form) needs to work.

    1]The form action link : https://www.aweber.com/scripts/addlead.pl
    2]The form ID
    3]Placeholders for Name/Email/Submit button fields
    viz :
    <div><input type=”text” name=”name” placeholder=”Enter Name Here…”/><div>

    Add the entire block of code into an extra DIV tag and then add the CSS to your theme when you want to start customizing the form cosmetically.

    @christine

    You are right. That might not work for pages. A workaround would be to create a blog post and opt for the ‘no sidebar’ template so it looks like a page but works like a post.

    I’ve been making customized Aweber integration since 4 years now, lets see if I can assist you with that ??

    First of all, the code is long, and there is a way to cut it considerably without affecting the output in any way.

    Just like you got rid of the CSS that aweber form generator gave you by opting for a basic form, you can safely eliminate the other JavaScript that lies at the end of the form. The one that starts with

    (function (){
    var IE = /*@cc_on!@*/false;
    .
    .
    .
    quirksMode”;
    }

    BUT that will solve only one part of your problem; it will only make the code shorter although it is not the reason for the extra space in the first place. Your Aweber form has many elements that are wrapped in various CSS classes. Many a times it so happens that the classes used by your WP theme are named exactly same as the ones that Aweber form is using so the CSS design properties for that element get inherited from those classes which leads to problems like extra space, different colors, distorted alignment etc.

    Let me know if you are able to spot the troublemaker and correct it otherwise I am always here.

    Maybe if I knew your URL I would be able to narrow down the error more acutely.

    There is a setting within your Aweber profile to redirect the user to a custom URL of your choice after they confirm their subscription. Its STEP 2 in the web form creation process. That should solve your problem.

    Although I find this part in your query confusing (contradicting)
    a)the autoresponder is working beautifully
    b)I should incorporate my aweber form to my landing page

    If you say that the autoresponder is working fine, then I suppose that is because you already placed the optin form on your landing page, isn’t it?

    If you could please share your website’s URL then I can accurately assess the situation and assist you better.

    Login to your Aweber account, create the most basic form that you can, using the inbuilt form creator, head over to the part where it says “I will install the form myself”. Now select the HTML option. Look for the fields. You will find the formaction=”something” copy that and paste it in the widget. You can also see something like name=”email” id=”awf_field-33407411″, that corresponds to the email field, paste that in the widget.

    PS: the widget allows only one field. So there is your compromise.

    There is a perfectly easy way to accomplish it without the plugin. Aweber provides you with the raw HTML/JS code, just copy that and paste it in your default HTML/text widget and drag the widget to the sidebar. Using plugins where they can be avoided causes the site loading time to slow down since more plugins means more calls to hooks.

    Could you please share your site’s URL so that I can assist you better?
