I thought that by selecting the "disable date archives" and "disable author archives" option on the WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast, I was exactly doing what you recommend (i.e. create a custom archive that did not include author or date archives)? Or am I understanding those options incorrectly?
Sydney. But I lived in Melbourne from 2005 - 2011, so I am quite familiar with it. I lived all over too - in fact, Australia is not my home country (I am Belgian).
I don't want to change the button to submit a comment, just the text displayed under the post title.
Currently is had:
[Date] by [Author] "no comments" or "x comments"
I would like that to be "Share your opinion" or "x opinions, add yours"
Not sure if I am explaining that correctly...
That worked, thank you 🙂
Would you mind helping me with the comments changes? Or else point me in the direction as to how I can find out what to change?
Thank you!!!
I also wanted to change the comments words underneath each post, and notice you can do that too in the plugin. But again, I am a bit lost as to what I am supposed to change to get what I'd like:
"No comments" -> "Share your opinion"
"x comments" -> "x great opinions, add yours"
Since you are looking at the code, I'd thought it is better to ask it at the same time 🙂
Well I am looking at the plugin - but I have no idea how to replace what is currently there:
Copyright [footer_copyright] [footer_childtheme_link] · [footer_genesis_link] [footer_studiopress_link] · [footer_wordpress_link] · [footer_loginout]
With what is needed to have
Copyright (copyright sign) 2013 - (link to my website) - All rights reserved
Could you help me?
Ok - I have opened an ftp connection to my host.
I am a total novice though, so could you please let me know what my theme folder is called, and where I can find this functions.php file I need ot upload?
I made the changes in the wp-admin dashboard, and I thought that made the changes directly onto the host?
I will keep the plugin in mind for the future - but it is a bit late for that now.
I cannot see anything anymore in WP admin since I included and then took out the changes, except for style.css. Everything else returns a blank screen.
I made the changed in the editor section in wp admin > appearances > editor. In there I selected functions.php and then added the code at the end, as you suggested. Once I clicked 'update file' everything went blank. I then removed the code I had added (by going back through the browser back button), re-clicked 'update file' . But everything is still blank.
WHat do I need to do to fix this?
@ susan:
I just added the following right at the end of the functions.php file - but it does not work: now all I get is a complete blank screen 🙁 So I obviously have an error in my code:
/** Functions added by Laura Vermont */
/** Customize the credits in the footer */
add_filter( 'genesis_footer_creds_text', 'custom_footer_creds_text' );
function custom_footer_creds_text() {
echo '<div class="creds"><p>';
echo 'Copyright © ';
echo date('Y');
echo ' · <a href="http://momgoesonline.com">Mom Goes Online</a> · All rights reserved';
echo '</p></div>';
}
@susan - thank you. Since I have never done any html coding, I am hoping someone will be kind enough to tell me what line to add where - I fear that me playing with code will end up in broken code 🙂
Oops - that did not paste well. I will try again
/** Customize the credits */
/** add_filter( 'genesis_footer_creds_text', 'custom_footer_creds_text' );
function custom_footer_creds_text() {
echo '<div class="creds"><p>';
echo 'Copyright © ';
echo date('Y');
echo ' · <a href="http://mydomain.com">Mom Goes Online</a> · All rights reserved';
echo '</p></div>';
} */
@ susan - thank you!
Now this is my first time writing any code, so I want to check first to make sure I dont break anything:
I want to display: Copyright (copyright symbol) 2013 - Mom Goes Online - All rights reserved
So I would put this in (I have bolded the changes):
/** Customize the credits */
add_filter('genesis_footer_creds_text','custom_footer_creds_text');
functioncustom_footer_creds_text() {
echo'<div class="creds"><p>';
echo'Copyright © ';
echodate('Y');
echo' · <a href="http://mydomain.com">Mom Goes Online</a> · All rights reserved;
echo'</p></div>';
}Is this correct?
And if so - where do I put this code?
Thank you so much for your guidance!
@ susan - I looked at the link you provided, but got the impression the code snippet changes the breadcrumb setting on all pages? Or am I reading this wrongly?
I only want to change the setting for the about page (for all other pages, I want the page title to continue to be in the breadcrumb).
@bill - the problem has just been resolved by Jennifer Baumann from the Studiopress theme. As you pointed out earlier, the problem is not with Genesis (I was indeed using 1.9.1) nor with the plugin, but it was a server setting. I needed to increase the memory in php.ini. And now it works 🙂
I wanted to thank you for all your help - I really appreciate it! I must say I am extremely impressed with the Studiopress team as well as with this forum - I am a complete novice online, and you are all making my journey possible - it is nice to know there is help when you need it! I hope one day I can help back!
@Jennifer - I have been told over and over that WordPress SEO is a great plugin which makes life easier for newbies like us (and I don't know about you, but I need all the help I can get :-). Yoast also has a tutorial on how to set yourself up for SEO success, and that is what I am following. As Bill said, normally the installation is easy - my situation was just unusual and due to some server set-up. So do not let that deter you. But if you do encounter an issue - the support here is absolutely fantastic!OK - I am off to do a celebratory dance (again)
