Josiah,

WP_MEMORY_LIMIT is what I have set to 256mb. I don’t set the MAX value to anything specific, I let the default function push the MAX to the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT setting.

Good lUck,
Brett

Ok so here is the rub. I am trying to make this redirect a permanent one that Google will see. All of the current methods for redirecting all links and pages on the site are not showing up as redirected in the search console and they do not seem to work 100% of the time when visiting the pages. Frustrating.

Still looking for a way to do this that Google is happy with.

Thanks
Brett

Damn,

Didn’t check the WooCommerce pages. Unfortunately it does not work there. So close!

DUH!

Thanks, I totally forgot about that tool in Cpanel. Oddly enough it works for all pages except the home page. No worries, I can get that one with the redirects plugin. Thanks!

Jcerni,

Depends on how comfortable you are with HTML, PHP, and CSS. If you are confident you can make the changes it would be possible for you to go into the header.php file and insert the image were your logo code is.

I’m thinking something along the lines of inserting this into your PHP:

<div id="HeaderBKGD"> INSERT THIS HERE, JUST ABOVE THE SITE BRANDING CLASS!!
                <div class="site-branding">
Keep everything in here the same!
        	</div><!-- .site-branding -->
</div><!--#HeaderBKGD-->

INSERT THIS HERE, JUST BELOW THE SITE BRANDING CLASS!!

Then add this to the style.css:

#HeaderBKGD  {
     background-image:"YOUR IMAGE URL HERE";
}

You will need to adjust the CSS for formatting the image correctly and depending on the way your theme is programmed it may not work, but it may get you close enough to figure it out.

Good Luck,
Brett

ereyes03,

You may want to look at the memory allocation for your WP memory. I have mine at 256mb with the latest version of PHP (5.6.21). I am using the System Status function in WooCommerce to look at these values but any System Status plugin will probably show you how you have your site configured.

I also found this study of web host speeds to be very interesting:

Have you run your site through tools.pingdom.com or Google’s Page Insights? They too will help.

Good luck,
Brett

bloggy2013,

I have been having the same issue. I asked one of the technicians at my new hosting company and he suggested the WP Optimizer plugin. It cleans out the un-needed bits in the databases that tends to bog down the works.

Be sure to set the dry run for your first pass to see how extensive the clean out will be and absolutely make a backup of your database before you try it.

I have only been using it for a day or so but I have seen a profound difference in the performance on the back end of our site.

Good luck,
Brett

bdbrown,

Thanks for the link but I tried it and it didn’t work. It’s set up for a sub-domain, not a directory within the same domain.

Besides, I am always suspicious of guides that are on pages that are not spelled correctly or have bad grammar. Seems there needs to be an eye for perfection in writing code that should transfer into the text on the page.

Please let me know if you know of any other possible solution.

rudysfire,

There is the correct way and there is the easy way. The correct way is to go into the PHP of the theme, find the offending elements and delete them. The easy way is to use the CSS to set the “visibility:hidden; margin:0px; padding 0px; height:0px;”. I have used both and had success but the CSS way could cause other issues.

Another thought is that the avatar image, thought cloud and other author based info is usually associated with comments on the blog. If you are not allowing comments then you can shut that function off on a page per page basis in the dashboard.

To shut off the comments on a page go to the list of all pages and select Quick Edit under the name of the page with the offending graphics. Uncheck the “AllowComments” box and update the page. Once the ability to add comments is deactivated the need for the author avatar and metadata is gone and in most themes will automatically disappear.

Good luck,
Brett

mojodaddy,

What file are you seeing this inserted into in the Editor? It looks like a HTML string for a Save button to me, are you viewing a PHP file?

Also, do you see this code rendered on any of the pages?

Brett

Rocky,

On the dashboard under Settings>Reading do you have the “Static Page” or “Your latest posts” radio button selected?

It appears that when you go to your URL (https://digitalclassic.co.uk/) the blog post appears but when you click on the Home link a different page is selected. Maybe change the menu link to the base URL (https://digitalclassic.co.uk/) for the site?

Good luck,
Brett

Josiah,

I have had similar issues with the automated plugin updater. I raised the max memory allocation for PHP to 256mb and made sure the PHP version was up to date (version 5.6.21, to solve a different issue with WooCommerce) and the error messages stopped.

Maybe this can help. Good luck.
Brett

Craig,

The user profiles are stored in the MySQL database on the server. Since your friend is probably not comfortable making changes to the database via the My PHPAdmin tool in the cpanel I would suggest he call in to Dreamhost and ask tech support to change his permissions to admin so all the options come up in the dashboard.

Either that or he can get his friend who set it up to go in and increase his access level.

Good luck,
Brett

I found an article that instructs on how to redirect after a successful form is submitted. I am using this to redirect to the PayPal page that the client wants to direct her visitors to after they fill out the form.

Hope this helps.

I am looking to do the same thing. There does not seem to be an obvious place to add a URL for a redirect when the form is completed.
