    Google does have a crawl quota, so you could suggest which areas of the site should not be crawled. Do you _need_ to? No.

    Gary Jones

    At the absolute minimum, you have to start the Genesis engine

    Not true.

    Once a child theme is parsed, WordPress will then automatically parse the parent theme. All the Start the engine line does is to shortcut that process so that Genesis functions are available in the global scope. If you keep calls to Genesis functions inside of callback functions, there's no need to load Genesis early.

    The issue here is that the OP is trying to treat this as a grandchild theme, but isn't pulling in the magazine pro style.css.

    Remove the .entry-content from the selector in my snippet, so that the rule applies to all a elements, not just those inside the entry-content area.

    WordPress doesn't create them by default - they are virtual files. WordPress captures the request and sends back output that looks like a robots.txt file. If you check your hosting via FTP, you won't find them (normally).

    The URL https://turbolangs.com/robots.txt seems to be working with something at least.

    Emillie,

    The usual debugging process would apply - deactivate all your plugins, and maybe even change your theme to Twenty Seventeen and see if the problem persists. If it does, then you know it's something else (like a redirect in .htaccess). If it doesn't, then activate the theme and try again. If it's still working correctly, activate each plugin one at a time until it breaks again.

    You'll need to add in responsive styles -

    
    /* Your styles go here for all sizes UPTO XXXpx */
    
    @media only screen and (min-width: XXXpx) {
     /* Your styles go here for all sizes AT OR ABOVE XXXpx */
    }

    Have a look in 404.php in your theme.

    Have you got Genesis 404 plugin or similar activated?

    I can see the issue on the site.

    Have you got any redirects in Yoast SEO (or Redirects plugin), that may be intercepting the comment posting?

    The styling of the <div class="home-middle widget-area"> and the section / articles inside of it is off - widths + margins being more than 100% etc.

    In your style.css, there is a:

    .entry-content a {
    	color: #e8554e;
    }

    You can edit this hex colour code within the Theme Editor to whatever colour you wish.

    So, edit each book, amend the publish date, so that it is in the order you want it.

    Alternatively, you could add code that would filter the query, but for a small number like this, changing the publish order is easier.

    Gary Jones
    Member

    m is one of the date parameters used by WordPress. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Date_Parameters.

    As such, it's expecting it to be m={YYYYmm}, like m=201804 for April 2018.

    If you try http://www.nithaskitchen.com/?m=201804 you'll see you get redirected to http://www.nithaskitchen.com/2018/04.

    Conversely then, your ?m=1 is not finding any results, since that value makes no sense for what WP is expecting.

    You may need to hook in a function early to check for ?m=1 and remove that query arg.

    Gary Jones
    Member

    @Victor - it appears you've got a particular page set as the front page.

    Does that page have a Title?

    If not, and you don't want it to, then you can try setting the page title in the Yoast SEO meta box for that Page.

    (which is 99% the same as what Maaike said 🙂 )

    Write great content, and people will naturally link to you.

    Adding comments to other sites *might* help, though some sites add rel=nofollow to commenters URLs to avoid being penalised for linking to bad sites.
