Titel in header.php
-
I have noticed that in theme file I have 2 header.php. First of all I have no clue why I have 2 of them. I guess that is not correct.
Especially I wonder on difference in the title tag. I wonder what the difference it makes on the site. I have always name of the site behind every title, can be this causing this?

Hallo Lewis,
I hope you had nice weekend:-)
Unfortunately the error still appeared:-( It just did not want the: require('./wp-blog-header.php')
But was looking for this one in the error require('wp-blog-header.php');
So I did all the steps back as I thought it did not sorted out:-(
-
No problem - Glad I was able to help.
Best of luck in the future!

Thank you very much Lewis! I just did it exactly as you said. I appreciate your time very much. You know I was looking into this already 1week from morning till evening and was quite desperate. Normally this error was in error logs every day, so I will now monitor it in cpanel if it will not appear again. I hope I will never see it as was nearly ready on some medication
Thank you so much Lewis!

Sorry, I copied the wrong file path. I meant this one:
public_html/villasdiani.com
-
Thank you very much Lewis,
But here the index.php looks very different:-(
-
Glad it worked!
Yeah, you just need to make the same change to the following index.php file and that will solve that problem too:
public_html/villasdiani.com/wp-content/themes/decorum/index.php
That should get you all up and running.
-
Thank you
-
It should just be the one inside the standard public_html folder as this is what is referenced in the PHP error (/home2/damian/public_html/index.php on line 17).
Hope this helps! Let us know how you get on.
-
Thank you very much Lewis. Now I am not sure which index.php you mean:-( I have so many:-(

Hi Iris,
It's hard to debug the problem without being able to see the issue, but it sounds like it's an incorrect file path. Open up your index.php file and find the following:
require('./wp-blog-header.php'); change it to this:
require('wp-blog-header.php');
Hopefully that will help fix your issue!

Thank you very much Alejandro and Lewis. The reason why I was asking this with header is because I am receiving all this errors regarding the header in hostgator cpanel: So I guess I have screwed up something with header?

As regarding of the title tag, I am using yoast seo. So does that basicly mean that I have the name of the site behind every titles. Oh my god I do not want this:-( how can I disable it please?

Like Alejandro has explained, the header.phpxxx isn't actually being used. .phpxxx is not a valid php extension, so they've added the xxx in so it isn't used in the wordpress theme.
Looking at the code in header.php, your title tag is here:
<title><?php if( is_home() || is_front_page() ) bloginfo('name'); else wp_title(); ?></title>
This basically means:
If you're on the homepage or on the front page of the website, show the blog name (which is pulled from your wordpress settings). If not, show the wordpress title (this will be pulled from the name of the page which the user is on).
If you wanted to make it so the order of the title page is different, for example, if you wanted your title tag to show 'Page Title Here | Site Name', you could go into your wordpress settings and should be able to change the order in which this is done... Alternatively, download a plugin such as Yoast's SEO plugin and you'll be able to customise everything there!

header.php is the valid file showing the head of your page.
header.phpxxx is simply a replacement file, so that in case you modify the header.php you have the option to save the original(header.php) file and replace it for the replacement file (header.phpxxx).dunno if i have explained.

Top hierarchy pages vs footer links vs header links
Hi All, We want to change some of the linking structure on our website. I think we are repeating some non-important pages at footer menu. So I want to move them as second hierarchy level pages and bring some important pages at footer menu. But I have confusion which pages will get more influence: Top menu or bottom menu or normal pages? What is the best place to link non-important pages; so the link juice will not get diluted by passing through these. And what is the right place for "keyword-pages" which must influence our rankings for such keywords? Again one thing to notice here is we cannot highlight pages which are created in keyword perspective in top menu. Thanks

Google does not favour php websites?
Hi there. An SEO company recently told me that google does not favour php development? This seems rather sketchy, I have not read that google doesn't favour this anywhere, did I just miss that part of SEO or are these guys blowing a little smoke?

Which is better /section/ or section/index.php?
I have noticed that Google has started to simply link to /section/ as opposed to /section/index.php and I haven't changed any canonical tags etc. I have looked at my pages moz authority for the two /section/ = 28/100

/section/index.php = 42/100 How would I go about transferring the authority to /section/ from /section/index.php to hopefully help me in my organic serp positions etc. Any insight would be great 🐵0 -
Adding index.php at the end of the url effect it's rankings
I have just had my site updated and we have put index.php at the end of all the urls. Not long after the sites rankings dropped. Checking the backlinks, they all go to (example) http://www.website.com and not http://www.website.com/index.php. So could this change have effected rankings even though it redirects to the new url?

There's a website I'm working with that has a .php extension. All the pages do. What's the best practice to remove the .php extension across all pages?
