In reply to: g4 tv embedWhere are you posting the embed tag? In a post, sidebar, or template page?
If it’s a post make sure you copy the code into the html editor and not the visual editor.

In reply to: Downgrade from 3.1.1 to 3.0.5!!!Yeah that’s basically what I recommended, minus the mysql database info. If your problem is with WordPress only, not your content, then you shouldn’t need to mess with your database.
Importing and exporting databases can be tricky and can have odd results. I would recommend just changing WordPress first and if you still have problems then revert to your old database.

In reply to: Downgrade from 3.1.1 to 3.0.5!!!What I would do, if your really have to downgrade, is backup the site and then perform the 5-minute upgrade process with WordPress 3.0.5.
Upgrading and Downgrading should be the same process. Just make sure you have a good and trusted backup before doing anything unorthodox like this.

In reply to: WordPress = World Level Mess. Login page nightmaresStep one would be to disable the theme you are using and make WordPress revert to the default theme. This will rule out any theme related issues.
To do that simply backup your custom theme then rename your custom theme folder. This will force WordPress to revert to the default theme.
Also if you post your address here others can take a look to see what the problem might be.

In reply to: Help! Issue with Pages@nsathees I personally would not hide the overflow and simply make it flow correctly, but your suggestion will work as well.

In reply to: Help! Issue with PagesThe black background is actually your footer-wrap extending upwards. To fix it simply add
<div class="clear"></div>
just before
<div id="footer-wrap">
You can probably find footer-wrap in your footer.php file, really depends on your WordPress theme. If its not there, check the bottom of your page.php file also.

In reply to: 404 NOT FOUND error on one page of my blog?Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you made a mistake in your Custom Menu in your sidebar.
Navigate to Dashboard >> Appearance >> Menus
Double check the titles and links in your custom sidebar menu there, hopefully its as simple as that.

In reply to: Fetch as Googlebot — 301 error?Ok, there is no reason Google would see anything differently then what I’m seeing in my browser unless you have a specific rule in your .htaccess redirecting the Google bot elsewhere. As long as you haven’t added anything like that we can assume Google and I are seeing the same results. Even though you are telling Google to check https://www.jeffcooneyweddings.com/blog/ it may actually be checking https://jeffcooneyweddings.com/blog/, which would explain the redirect.
What I am seeing is that on your blog pages jeffcooneyweddings.com/blog is redirecting to https://www.jeffcooneyweddings.com/blogs. That is fine, you only want one version of each page.
However on your home page and other non WordPress pages I can get https://www.jeffcooneyweddings.com or https://jeffcooneyweddings.com. That is actually bad as we only want one version of each page. To Google that looks like duplicate content. It’s not a huge deal, Google is much better nowadays at handling things like that, but it’s still best to avoid.
To fix that you need to add this block of code into a second .htaccess file in your root directory. You already have one .htaccess in /blog that WordPress created, you just need one for the other non WP pages.
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^jeffcooneyweddings.com RewriteRule (.*) https://www.jeffcooneyweddings.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Basically this will 301 redirect anyone visiting non www pages to www pages outside of your WP pages.

In reply to: Fetch as Googlebot — 301 error?The reason you can’t request your site without www is because when you originally added your site to webmaster tools you added it with the www. I just tested that theory with a new site I’m working on.
errr one sec looking into something…

In reply to: 404 NOT FOUND error on one page of my blog?We were all new at some point. I would read this info on “Pages” in WordPress. It does a good job of explaining pages vs post.

In reply to: 404 NOT FOUND error on one page of my blog?Pages, Posts and Categories can be a bit confusing at first. A page is different then a post. Post can go into categories but pages cannot.
When I navigate to theffacts.com/category/childrens-blog I get a 404 or error page. If I go to theffacts.com/childrens-blog I get an actual page.
Is that the one you were looking for?

In reply to: Fetch as Googlebot — 301 error?Quick question, did you request
jeffcooneyweddings.com/blog/
orwww.jeffcooneyweddings.com/blog/
I’m guessing you asked for jeffcooneyweddings.com/blog/ which would explain the 301 redirect (which is actually what you want to happen and will not show you header as “moved permanently”.
If I load you site without the www. I am redirected with a 301 to the page with the www. That is fine if you want it that way. Some people prefer to redirect without www or with.
The key is that one or the other redirects to the other. That way you homepage can only be found through one address and will not show as duplicate content.
Sorry if thats confusing :/

In reply to: Page Revisions in WP 3.0It’s still available, it just may have reverted to not display by default.
Pick a random post and navigate to it’s EDIT page (Edit Post page). Then, below the log out button or upper right corner look for:
Screen OptionsIt will show a dropdown of available screen areas that you can check and uncheck to show or hide areas like revisions.

In reply to: 404 NOT FOUND error on one page of my blog?Do you have any post inside of the category? Sometimes WordPress will not display a category if there are no post inside of it. I had the same problem with a new site I set up a while back.

In reply to: 404 Error for Category Permalinks After Upgrade to 3.1I think I’m having a similar problem. My custom structure is /archive/%postname%/ and I have no category base or tag base. Unfortunately since 3.1 all of my tag and category pages are now re-written to /archive/tag/example-page and /archive/category/example-page.
Basically they are taking the custom structure as the base now.
I run my own LAMP server and have changed nothing. No new plugins, no old plugins to consider and nothing else that could explain this besides a WordPress bug.
I’m heading over to the bug tracker page now to see if this is a known issue. If I find anything I’ll be back.
