It turned out that I didn’t need to use CAS, because twenty twelve has the ability to not have a sidebar via page template setting…I’d just forgotten. Thanks for the response though.

Thanks for that. I rediscovered that page template setting, but by then had switched to another theme for this and other reasons. Possibly Yoko supports Full width, no sidebars, but I don’t have a Yoko installation to test it on any longer.

The site: method of testing discoverability does seem to be valid. We submitted the site to google to redindex and probably as a result of that the site: search param does show inner page results. Still very odd that google would be recording page visit via google analytics, but not return results from those pages via search.

Anyone else care to respond? Even though two people responded, the questions remain:

Is the site: methond of testing discoverability valid?

Why google only knows of the front page? From what I’ve read wp is supposed to be good at seo out of the box. The site involved is about as ‘out of the box’ as you can get.

Not a dumb question at all…I did see that setting and it is off.

I mentioned the drupal site because it is the one I had mentioned engaging gwt on; and I’d mentioned that gwt was not set up on the wp site. So your having asked if I’d submitted a sitemap could have only be your having asked about the drupal site, etc, in theory.

Oh yeah – another puzzle is that google analytics is enagaged at the wp site and it shows visits to all pages. So why the site: search param shows up nothing…?

No – for the wp site I have not even engaged gwt. For the drupal site, which google search has a good handle on, I have not submitted a sitemap. I will check out what that is about.

Any guess as to why google only knows of the front page? From what I’ve read wp is supposed to be good at seo out of the box. The site involved is about as ‘out of the box’ as you can get.

I engaged google webmaster tools on the drupal site I mentioned. It’s been about hour days and there is absolutely no info being generated by webmaster tools. No clicks reported, etc, even though google analytics has been reporting on the site for years. Every section of webmaster tools is basiaclly empty like it was when I first completed the config.

So even if I set it up on the wp site, it would not contribute anything. webmaster tools must be good for something but as a new user, it’s utility to me has been zero so far.

I will pm you the url as I’m not sure the site owner wants it up here. No, looks like I can’t pm you.

Thanks for that pointer, worked for me too.

I kind of decided to go back to drupal for the moment. It may be better suited for this task in combo with my skill set (lack of) with wp.

Your plugin and your attentiveness to my little issue is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that offer. Right now I can’t share it – behind a firewall and not public.

So it’s a fault in the css of the theme? I probably won’t be able to figure that out, I have a little exposure to css but this is probably past my depth.
