Just in case anyone comes across this topic, one solution is to visit the “Advanced” tab of the Yoast SEO editor (on the affected post), then adjust the sitemap priority level for each post with the same keyword.

This solution is documented (in part) in the Yoast SEO KB here:

https://kb.yoast.com/article/240-warning-youve-used-this-focus-keyword-before

There is a further link that points to ways of adjusting the sitemap priority level.

Doesn’t look trivial. Best practice is definitely to have unique focus keywords for each page. Keeps things reasonably straight forward.

Hope that helps

Hi TheBardette.

Your posts appear left aligned when all your sidebar widgets are removed. If you think you might use sidebar widgets with your posts, then you should try adding some, to see if that’s what you need.

However, if you’re convinced that you will not be using a sidebar with your posts, then follow along below. Bear in mind that some of my advice will involve removing the sidebar widgets (only on posts). You can choose to leave them in, but they will be shifted below your main content.

There are couple of steps involved in resolving your problem:

1. Create a child theme
2. Create a custom templates

1. Create a child theme: To do this, install the Griffin theme as usual, then follow this guide to create a child theme. This will ensure that whenever the Griffin theme is updated, your changes will stay in place:

https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-create-a-wordpress-child-theme-video/

Alternatively, you can use this plugin to create a child theme using a few clicks:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/child-theme-configurator/

Once that is all done, then:

2. Create a custom templates: First, activate the child theme.
Then, find the following files from the parent theme, and copy them across to the child theme:

single.php
content.php

Open the single.php file into your child theme, go to round about line 3, and change this:

<div class="col-md-8">

to this:

<div class="col-md-12">

Then head to round about line 11, and comment out the widget sidebar, like so:

<?php //get_sidebar(); ?>

Save the file.

Next open content.php in your child theme, go to round about line 3, and change this:

<?php the_post_thumbnail('featured-full'); ?>

to this:

<?php the_post_thumbnail(''); ?>

Save the file.

Then reload your posts.

You should see them as centralised now, including the featured image. Out of interest, I used a featured image sized at 1920px wide by 1200px high.

Post back if you get stuck at any stage.

Hope that helps.

Hey mackenseypulliam
Still having problems with the Modern Business theme? Would be happy to assist, if so.
I’ve used this theme before, so may be able to offer some advice.

Hi jackwhittle123

First question: what is the name of this theme? Is it in the www.ads-software.com repository?

You will actually need to create a child theme for this one, just as Christi recommended. The reason is that you need to edit the header.php file for this theme, and only include the basic elements. Then install Yoast SEO (as Christi recommended), and set your title as you desire it to be.

You should copy the header.php file into your child theme, then change the title tag to this:

<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

After that’s done, install Yoast SEO and configure the “Titles and Meta” section. Look for the “Home” sub-section (or similar).

Hope that helps

Hi there
What theme are you working with? Is it a theme from www.ads-software.com?
Thanks

Hi there.

Did you manage to fix this problem?

If not, what version of WordPress are you running? Have you checked to see if the file path and the upload path match up?

Thanks

Hi KimmConn

Do you still need help with this issue?

Do you have FTP access to your files on bluehost?

If so, you could try renaming the “wp-content/upgrade” folder, then attempt the upgrade again.

Post back, if that didn’t help

Hi taylorjones2013

Is this issue still ongoing?

Did you create a menu, e.g. “Main Menu”, before adding the pages to it?

If so, are the menus themselves being saved? Not the pages, but the actual menus, e.g. “Main Menu”, “Footer Menu”

Post back, if you still need help

Hi boogi52

Yes, ask your hosting company to check if there are any issues with the server?

In addition, run your site through the Sucuri Online Scanner, just to ensure that your site has not been hacked.

Hi rapidentry
Home page seems to be working (kind off). Is this problem fixed?

Hi tombradev

I would advise you not to start by trying to customise a theme. You mentioned yourself that the code frustrated you.

So it would be better to find a theme that comes really close to the design layout that you want, and just use it as it is. Otherwise you could delay your site tinkering with code.

If you are really interested in learning about WordPress development, start with WPyogi’s suggestion. If you’re building your own site, look for a matching design and go from there.

Good luck

Hi Pedalkraft.

I just noticed that your sidebar widgets are working. Has this issue been resolved?

Is so, mark as such. If not, post back, so we can examine further.

Thanks

Hi Kanger.

A few things to help you get started troubleshooting:

1. Check that your flip javascript supports the version of JQuery UI that you are using

2. If JQuery UI is being loaded from wp-includes, do you also need to “enqueue” it? Just check that you are requesting JQuery UI in the correct sequence.

Hope that helps you get started.

Post back, if you still cannot get to the bottom of the problem.

Awesome. You’re welcome

Hi skshasi

Did you upgrade from an earlier version of WordPress? If so, from which version?

This is assuming that your editor was working before.

If so, you can try rolling back, and then repeat the upgrade; just in case you have some corrupted files
