@mjcupcakesandhammers bit of a stab in the dark this one but if you head to Settings > Permalinks and just select Save Changes this may force update the permalinks, it’s worked in the past when I’ve come across the same issue with both Posts & Pages behaving this way.

@northfool71 If you’re just looking to set up a straight forward anchor link, you can either select the Insert/edit link button when in visual mode to link any select text or perhaps in image and add the ID of the element you you wish to jump to. Or if you’re in text mode the following will work a treat.

<a href="https://DirectedUrl.com#element" title="Custom title text">Button Text</a>

Hope this helps.

@hh2015, cheers for clarifying that it’s a php form, there’s your problem, if the script does indeed work on a standalone .php page it’ll be to do with your integration within the forms template. I’m afraid without more detailed information on where the script sits or the tools being used to embed the script it’s a little tricky to diagnose the issue.

@hh2015, if you try the following it could help diagnose the issue.

1. Switch the theme to something such as Twenty Sixteen (which comes with fresh installs of WP, give the site a whirl and see if that loads.
2. If you’re still having issues it sounds like it maybe a plugin, so just deactivate your plugins temporarily, give the site a whirl and see if that loads.

If neither of those work it could be worth setting up a test database and install at a subdirectory and seeing if the hosting handles a fresh install without any issues.

@masoodanees currently I’m just seeing ‘Error establishing a database connection’, which suggests either the DB does not exist at the location provided or the login credentials are incorrect.

@amandathewebdev great to hear its all worked out.

@kandeshopuk, you can’t as such undo like you might find in a word processing app for example. What you can do is restore your install if you’ve made a backup. Simply replace the existing files & database with the backed up version prior to the failed upgrade.

If you don’t have a suitable backup it could be worth while getting in touch with your website hosts, they should have a backups (how frequent these are is down to your hosts) they maybe a quick and easy answer to restoring your site to a suitable and stable version.

It shouldn’t do, you’ll be keeping the wp-config file with the correct installs files when you moved the installs so I can’t foresee any issues there.

My advise would be, to firstly backup both installs, including

databases, this is a must in case anything goes wrong.

Once you’ve backup up I’d suggest the following.

• Go into, Settings > General and change the WordPress address & Site Address to the live URL where the dev site will be moved to.
• Then within the live folder, select all of the WordPress install files & folders and place them in a new folder (/original for example), this way if anything goes wrong you can extract these files back to their original location.
• If you now go to the dev folder and move all files within this folder to the parent folder which should be the root for your domain your dev version should now be sat live in the position of your original site.</i>

If anything fails you can simply revert to your old files which were placed into the /original folder. I must stress backing up the files and databases before attempting this.

Hopefully it helps you out.

@troywoo, I can see from the sites source code that the title tag is now reading as ‘Hair Extensions Manufacturer, Wholesale Human Hair Wigs, Toupees | Feelgood Hair Supplies’ and that there’s no trace of the old one you’ve referenced within the pages source code, so this is simply a case of Google not reindexing your website.

Sadly you can’t force Google to crawl your site at a specific moment to detect these new changes you can however submit your site via their webmaster tools. At least this way you can alert Google that you’d like your site to be indexed. This could be a quicker method than just waiting for the page to be reindexed.

Usually these sorts of changes will take a few days to reflect with in search results.

Hope this helps.

Hi @hazloo,

I believe that Yoast does add its own title tag going off the following link, so if you do have one present within your themes files just try removing that and you should be good to just use the Yoast title tag.

Has this been resolved now?

Just checked out the site and the only mention of ‘THE GALLERY’ I can spot is within the post titles themselves.

^JD

You could try the following.

.category .tite {
display: none !important;}

That should remove the title from any category pages if I’ve understood your question correctly.

@ MarvinLeRouge can you take a print screen of your settings page please.
