In reply to: How do I contact a support forum moderator?Please help – I just posted, and accidentally failed to replace my actual URL with “domain.com,” and I’d rather not have my URL made public. Can a moderator delete it please?
Also, the URL I posted leads to a nonexistent page (created by spiders), because the post was about nonexistent pages created by spiders, and it’s already being indexed by spiders, returning multiple 404 errors. Which was what the original post was about.
I already know I should be more careful, and I do my best to be so. Thanks for any help!

In reply to: Way to solve 404 monitor with SEO UltimateI also need an answer to this, as I believe it is harming my Google ranking. Why are the Googlebots searching for pages I never created?

In reply to: wordpress creates 404 non existent pages building up in google toolsI have the exact same problem, and really need a solution. Are spammer/scraper doing this to drop my Google rank? What do I do? Please help!
Yes, I realized later that I had had to make modifications to the PHP code, not the CSS code, because we’re not given options for what the form will look like – text, field value, button styling. And no, the “class” specification in the widget not only didn’t help, it wouldn’t have accomplished everything I needed.
I had to add a class tag into the button code, and manually hunt for and change the input field and button texts – changes which, of course, disappeared with the upgrade. At least an hour of work, since I didn’t remember exactly how I did it last time. Fortunately, I figured it out.

In reply to: [RSS Just Better] RSS Just Better UsageHey Stef –
I’m not using an RSS plugin. I only have 2 plugins installed – a contact form and an email subscription form, but not one for RSS.
My RSS is definitely built in, but it might be a theme component, rather than WP. You can actually see its toggle-display option on the demo you posted for me, by going to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Theme Options. It’s a component of the archive page template code too. That’s why I assumed it was part of the WP codex.
Sorry, the instructions you wrote to answer my “needs” are a bit garbled. I didn’t follow all of them too well.
Regardless, I do want to maintain the “Subscribe” option for my users. I might just need to leave it alone, but it sure would be nice to get rid of that time/date stamp.
Thank you for engaging with me on this!

In reply to: [RSS Just Better] RSS Just Better UsageHey Stef –
Update: I resolved my RSS error message issue. I’ve got the links working again. But I still want to:
1) Link to my RSS feed without showing any feed posts on the page (WP’s widget doesn’t have a “display no posts” option – I have to display at least 1).
2) Link to my RSS feed page with each post’s time/date stamp stripped.
Thanks again!

In reply to: error messages clicking RSS links after upgrading to 3.3.1For everyone who encounters this issue, the mistake I made was not deactivating my plug-ins FIRST – BEFORE the upgrade. Something I should have known to do.
I used Dashboard to deactivate the plug-ins, then re-installed 3.3.1, and that did the trick.

In reply to: error messages clicking RSS links after upgrading to 3.3.1Esmi – I am more than prepared to work with anyone, as my responses reveal. I may have issues when instructions are (a) either overly sparse, or overly convoluted (b) erroneous and (b) likely to to cause more harm. If I did not care about helping the poster clear up their instructions, I would not even bother replying.
Thank you for the link you have included. It is for WP 3.3, which I did not have an issue with. I have 3.3.1.
At any rate, I believe I have resolved the issue. Thank you for replying.

Please provide the link to the “basic WordPress troubleshooting” you refer to, so I can read the procedure for myself.
The procedure on the plugins deactivation page you linked is only necessary “when not able to access the administrative menus” (quoted from the page). I am not having any trouble accessing my administrative menus. Deactivating the plug-ins does not help.
Thanks.

In reply to: [RSS Just Better] RSS Just Better UsageI see. I misunderstood. I don’t want my RSS feed to show up on my page. I just want to be able to link to it. Usually, if you click the RSS links that come with WP, you’ll get a separate page where you can do two things: see the feed, and subscribe to it.
I want to be able to retain these features, without the time and date stamps showing up on the resulting page.
Plus I think my RSS is screwed up – every link returns this error:
Warning: require_once(/home/user/domain/wp-includes/feed-rss2.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/user/domain/wp-includes/theme.php on line 1115
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/user/domain/wp-includes/feed-rss2.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/pear’) in /home/user/domain/wp-includes/theme.php on line 1115
and I have to figure out how to fix it. I don’t suppose you know what it means?
Thanks again.

In reply to: error messages clicking RSS links after upgrading to 3.3.1Esmi: why do I want to switch to the Twenty Eleven theme? Also, won’t renaming my theme folder screw up my theme, since the folder name appears in some of the code?
Resetting the plugins folder by FTP? Do you mean re-install the plugins folder from a fresh install? Then I would lose all my plugins. I do not want this.
Besides I’ve already deactivated my plugins (which you can do via your Dashboard), and this did not help anything.
Are you saying the upgrade may not have correctly run?
The “upgrades.php” file tells me “No Update Required. Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!” The “Continue” button returns me to my front page.
Thanks anyway.

In reply to: [RSS Just Better] RSS Just Better UsageStef – thanks for replying.
1) Yes, the instructions are clearer now, regarding substituting URL.
2) I use TheMorningAfter by WooThemes. I was excited about your plugin, because I really want to be able to strip out the date and time stamp in the resulting feed excerpts when anyone clicks on my RSS feed. So I was hoping to be able to substitute your plugin for the WP-installed “view this section’s RSS” link, even as a widget in the primary sidebar.
A further issue has arisen. I just upgraded to 3.3.1 and now all of my RSS links are returning error messages. Something got left out of the upgrade that my theme needs. I hope this is the only thing.
