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.

Hreflang in header...should I do a Sitemap?
A client implemented hreflang tags in the site header. MOZ says you aren't supposed to do an hreflang Sitemap as well. My question is how should I do a Sitemap now (or should I do one at all)?

How do I redirect my old PHP website to my new Java website?
Please could you help? My old website is written in php. I've created a new design of the website in Java. I'll be using the same domain name though. example.com and I'd like to pass my link juice to my new redesigned website. When I turn the domain name to point to my new website how do I make sure pages that are ranked in google that don't exist on my new website transfer 301 from my old website to a similar page on my new website. Old Website Example example.com/bootcampuk.php New Website Example example.com/bootcamps.jsp Many Thanks, Rob

How to 301 Redirect /page.php to /page, after a RewriteRule has already made /page.php accessible by /page (Getting errors)
A site has its URLs with php extensions, like this: example.com/page.php I used the following rewrite to remove the extension so that the page can now be accessed from example.com/page RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | rcseo
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L] It works great. I can access it via the example.com/page URL. However, the problem is the page can still be accessed from example.com/page.php. Because I have external links going to the page, I want to 301 redirect example.com/page.php to example.com/page. I've tried this a couple of ways but I get redirect loops or 500 internal server errors. Is there a way to have both? Remove the extension and 301 the .php to no extension? By the way, if it matters, page.php is an actual file in the root directory (not created through another rewrite or URI routing). I'm hoping I can do this, and not just throw a example.com/page canonical tag on the page. Thanks!0 -
How important is admin-ajax.php?
Hi there! It's been a long time since I last did a technical audit of a site. I've currently playing with the 'fetch as google' tool to find out if we're blocking anything vital. The site is based on Wordpress, and after a recent hacking incident, a previous SEO moved the login portal from domain.com/wp-admin/ to domain.com/pr3ss/wp-admin/ - to stop people finding it. Fair enough. But they then updated the robots.txt file to look like this: User-agent: *

Disallow: /pr3ss/wp-admin/ Now, some pages are trying to draw on theme elements like: http://www.domain.com/pr3ss/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
http://www.domain.com/pr3ss/wp-content/themes/bestpracticegroup/images/column_wrapper_bg.png And are naturally being blocked (not that this seems to affect the way pages are rendering in Google's eyes) A good SEO friend of mine has suggested allowing the theme folder, and any sub folders where this becomes an issue. What are your thoughts? Is it even worth disallowing the /pr3ss/wp-admin/ path? Cheers guys and gals! All the best, John. I've found a couple of the theme's0 -
Different Header on Home Page vs Sub pages
Hello, I am an SEO/PPC manager for a company that does a medical detox. You can see the site in question here: http://opiates.com. My question is, I've never heard of it specifically being a problem to have a different header on the home page of the site than on the subpages, but I rarely see it either. Most sites, if i'm not mistaken, use a consistent header across most of the site. However, a person i'm working for now said that she has had other SEO's look at the site (above) and they always say that it is a big SEO problem to have a different header on the homepage than on the subpages. Any thoughts on this subject? I've never heard of this before. Thanks, Jesse

Subdomain SEO question (php script on domain + wordpress on subdomain)
Hi Moz fellows, I am doing my first website which is entirely .php scripted. But I would like to have a wordpress blog to create content and blog posts, while the .php side of the website is more for sales pages and user generated listings.The only way to do this is to install wordpress on a subdomain "blog.website.com" QUESTION: If all my keywords targeted content is on the subdomain's Wordpress blog, but all my guest blogging efforts link to my main website, which one will rank? The subdomain or the domain? I need the domain to rank well as it is a Fiverr-like script, so if tons of people land on my "blog.website.com" subdomain, they will not convert into users... Let me know if you have experience with such a scenario, and thank you all in advance for your help! -Marc

What problems could arise from updating php version?
i havent really gotten a straight answer yet for this question - my client says: "The developers are skeptical about the possibility to update PHP on our server as this could seriously damage the entire RV site functionality." since i know nothing about php and any potential hazards i have to ask the community to see if there is any validity to these concerns. we cant update our version of WP unless the version of php is first upgraded from 5.1.6 to 5.2.4 client wont do this because developers say its a potential nightmare i , as seo, want a current updated version of WP for many obvious reasons can anyone please tell me what, if any, problems could arise from upgrading the sites php? or is it just a lot of work and the developers are making excuses because they dont want to do it? thanks very much to whoever answers
