Hello,

Can you give me a little more info, for example a screenshot of the result or the query that you get that displays the alt text?

You can make a robots.txt file yourself and place it in the home directory. A typical robots.txt file would look like this:
`
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
sitemap: path-to-xml-sitmeap.xml
`

Another solution would be to remove your existing XML Sitemap plugin and install WordPress SEO by Yoast. That offers all of the features you're looking for.

Have a great day!

Hello,

Shopify is a stand alone eCommerce platform that would be out of the scope of this forum. There are several WordPress plugins however that can be used for this. My favorite would be Easy Digital Downloads (demo here), there is a Genesis Connect for Easy Digital Downloads plugin. Another popular solution would be WooCommerce. If you choose to use WooCommerce, make sure you use the WooCommerce Genesis Connect plugin as well. All of these are pretty easy to set up, are well supported, and can connect to a number of payment gateways.

Have a great day!

It's under the `#header-image title a` selector. Right now it's set to `width: 25%;` you should change that to the fixed width. Again, to make sure that the image responds properly, you may need to set new styles on the media queries as well. Just as a note, I used Chrome Developer Tools to find this out, there is also Firebug for Firefox - they are integral to finding this out.

Have a great day!

Try the book Professional WordPress Design and Development by Brad Williams! It's a cornerstone read for any WP Developer 🙂

Problem is that the H1 is too big for the div. I messed around in the chrome inspector - this should solve your issue:

`
.product_title.entry-title {
font-size: 20px;
float:right;
}`

Hope this helps!

Your problem is the width of the header widget area, which is set to 75% by default. Make the changes below to your themes style.css (note: more changes may be required on the responsive side of things)

Line 221:
`width: 50%;`

Line 230:
`width: 325px;`

I was in a similar position to you not too long ago. You actually don't need to know that much PHP in order to work with themes. A lot of it is understanding hooks & filters along with functions. I would recommend reading an into PHP book or take the course on lynda.com. Lynda also has several courses on theme development, and web design in general. You also should read Professional WordPress Design and Development, which goes into great depth. Genesis itself has its own version of the WordPress loop, but if you have an understanding of how the WordPress loop itself works, you'll have an idea of how  to modify the Genesis loop. There are also tons of blogs on WordPress development that can help you do almost anything.

WordPress being open source, by nature there is a ton of information in around and there is a very robust community that is willing to help. You should also consider attending a WordCamp in your area, as well as a WordPress meetup if there is one around.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks Brad, makes complete sense. I am a big fan of your WP Sites site, great content! I'm actually starting to post regularly on WP Daily doing WP and SEO articles, I'm excited.

Sorry guys, the form is broken, I cannot display the code correctly.

The first thing I see just by glancing at the code is that the link you have in the footer to yoyohoneysingh.com isn't made right, it looks like you have some sort of a link within a link, which could be why the styling isn't working properly. The PHP is correct to add the footer nav. The other recommendation that you'll hear from me, or almost anyone else on this forum is to use Firebug or Chrome Developer tools (more advanced) to find CSS issues and test styling live in  the browser.

 

Hope that helped!

Hello,

I deal with SEO & WP Issues on a daily basis, there could be several reasons this is happening. Fist, what is the URL if your website? It is easiest for me to pick out issues by seeing your site.  Is your site verified with Google Webmaster Tools, and if it is did you make an XML Sitemap, and submit it. Next, is are blog posts appearing on your sitemap if you excluded them, Google may not pick them up immediately.

I'll take a look at your site and let you know if I see anything awkward  It may just take some time though, I've seen this happen before with very large sites, google only indexes so many URLs at a time.

I agree with anitac, you probably should contact the plugin support. You may also want to check your error log to see if there is anything odd going on there. I've had permissions issues causing WordPress to stay in maintenance mode before.
