You can also use Simple Page Ordering to drag-and-drop pages into the desired position.

Since WordPress is not multilingual by default, you’ll need to use plugins to switch between different languages. Check out Multilingual WordPress for pros and cons of various implementations.

have you looked at WP Static HTML Output plugin

“This plugin produces a static HTML version of your WordPress install … the plugin will output a ZIP file of your entire site”

Have you set the title in admin SEO | Titles & Metas title template to just %%title%%

The doc indicates there are other variables that can be used in the titles. Check to see if %%sep%% is causing the pipe to show up.

You can also use wp_localize_script to do this.

First enqueue your js from functions.php (or a plugin) with wp_enqueue_script

wp_enqueue_script('myscript', 'location to your script');

Next call wp_localize_script and reference the script you just enqueued. Also pass an array of values for your script to access. For example, you can get the template uri of the current theme with get_template_directory_uri().

wp_localize_script('myscript', 'mylocalizedscript', array('myurl' => get_template_directory_uri()));

the localize function will output the following before your script

/* <![CDATA[ */
var mylocalizedscript = {"myurl":"http:\/\/pitchandco.com\/staging\/wp-content\/themes\/pitchandco"};
/* ]]> */

and inside your script you can access mylocalizedscript.myurl to get at the value you set in php e.g.

var templateUrl = (mylocalizedscript.myurl);
/* verify you are getting the correct values */
alert(templateUrl);
alert(mylocalizedscript.myurl);

As php changes the value from staging to live, the value in your script will also change.

Your site is running WordPress SEO by Yoast. This can modify the site title. Update to the latest version, then take a look at Controlling titles with the WordPress SEO plugin.

You can create an xml file with your content (or limited content e.g. just posts and comments) from Admin Tools | Export.

To get the content into another database, install WordPress Importer and import the export file at Admin Tools | Import.

Instructions at Importing Content.

You can wrap a customized page template around the page you designate in WordPress as your static home page.

Basically, you create a page template which includes whatever you want on the page: text, images, content etc.

Use the ‘Page Attributes’ metabox in WordPress admin page screen to assign the page to the template you created.

If you don’t see the metabox, check the screen options tab to make sure it isn’t hidden.

Theme files need to be in the content themes directory. The default is wp-content/themes but you can change the content directory if you want to use something different.

If your zipped theme is currently in public_html, WordPress will not see it. Use Bluehost’s File Manager to move the file to wp-content/themes and then extract it to a folder inside of that directory. Or delete the zipped file in public_html, navigate to your themes directory and upload/extract the theme again.

You should end up with wp-content/themes/<yournewtheme> and the theme should be visible in your admin to preview and activate.

If a plugin or theme is using wp_enqueue_script() to output js, the last parameter $in_footer can be set to true and the js will be output in the footer (default is false).

Keep in mind that some plugins may require javascript be loaded before the footer in order to work properly.

To compare files on your site, you could download a clean copy of WordPress and use a file compare program like WinMerge to find differences.

Or you could check out the source files online. The branch for 3.4 is here, or go directly to wp-load.php. Again, just compare the files.

WordPress also will let you reinstall from the dashboard.
