I’m having this same issue.

I deactivated all plugins, flushed theme and browser cache but still occurs. Everything looks good, but after the purchase button, the Checkout page just refreshes, without any error message.

I tried this in both Chrome and Firefox – same results.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

I just noticed, the pages work in French but not in English.

The site was hacked so there are several thousand “viagra” (and other drugs) pages that were indexed. I’ve removed the hack so the pages don’t exist any longer but Google had already indexed them so they are appearing as missing pages in my webmaster account.

All of the pages end in .html (there are no other .html pages on the site) so I can use that in the .htaccess – I just wasn’t able to figure out specifically how to do it (I’m not good with regular expressions and I couldn’t find an exact fix in Google).

I tried the link you supplied above, but wasn’t able to get any of the examples working. The one below seems to be close (It changes all .html to .php):

RedirectMatch 301 (.*)\.html$ https://www.example.com$1.php

I edited it to try to redirect everything to the home page but it returned an endless loop error in my browser.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Thanks Daedalon,

That will get rid of the entries but I think they’ll still come back once Google spiders them. I don’t think it sent the 301 to google.

Is there a way to update all of those entries to return a 301 on future spiders?

Is there a way to automatically redirect the captured 404’s to another page?

I had a hack to one of my sites and Google now keeps looking for viagra pages that aren’t there. I currently have almost 4,000 “Captured 404’s” that need to be redirected. I started out doing this manually but it quickly became too overwhelming.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hey Everyone,

There is a Video Sitemap plugin now available, I did a video review of it yesterday, have a look:

Hey Colleen,

It seems to be a browser issue. It looks fine in firefox, but I see the problem in IE. I think it’s an issue with the list elements, the top element doesn’t start with ”

” instead it goes right into the ”
• “.

Hope that helps.

Hey David,

Yes there are a few fields in your database that will need to be modified when you move. The easiest way would be to do the following just before the move:

dashboard -> Settings

Modify the WordPress Address (URL) and the Blog Addres (URL) fields to the new location.

Once’ you’ve done this, the blog will probably become unusable until you’ve moved the site.

The other way is to do the move then, modify the database directly from your cpanel. Those two fields are in the wp-options table and are called: “siteurl” and “home”.

Good luck,

Dave

Hey RenFromPenn,

You can only go back if you have a pre-upgrade database backup and even then it’s not recommended.

Hey Charles,

You need to edit the theme files to insert the categories that you want to display. The theme defaults to category 1 (one) in all sections. You need to change that to whatever categories you want to display.

The revolution site offers some tutorials on that:

Good luck,

Hey Erwan,

You shouldn’t have to mess with the code to do this, WordPress has a built in feature that will allow you to use a specific page as your home page. Here’s how:

First create the page you want to use: Write > Page

Once the page is ready, navigate to the following:

Dashboard > Settings > Reading

At the top of that page is “Front Page Displays” Select “A Static Page” and open the drop down box and select the page you just created.

That should accomplish what you’re trying to do.

Hey Kepler,

Google XML creates a sitemap for use with your Google Webmaster account. The sitemap that plugin creates is in the xml format.

If you want to create a human viewable sitemap, you can try a plugin like Dagon Design Sitemap Generator. Here’s a video that will show you how to use it.

Good luck,

Dave

Hey Darren,

Most likely this is a permission issue. Make sure all your wp .php files are set to 644 and all wp folders are set to 755.

Good luck,

Dave

Hey MrJon,

Try a different theme and see if it’s working correctly. My guess is you removed something crucial from the header. By the way, here’s a video I did about the All in one SEO plugin that you may find helpful.

The issue seems to be with that one post

https://creditcardforum.com/blog/2008/08/interest-rate-secrets-your-credit-card-company-doesnt-want-you-to-know/

The other posts and page seem to be fine in both browsers.

View that particular post in edit mode and see if you find anything odd with it.
