I use vflyer.com to put my listings in my sidebar. You can see it on my site, https://miOaklandCounty.com

Works great for me.

Thanks everyone.

the www enforce plugin actually caused me a to have a ton of problems that I could not fix. I researched and learned that the htaccess file is the way to do it. I have read the no-www.org site but I am pretty clueless on this stuff and scared after my bad experience with www enforce plugin.

Waffles, when you say to remove anything else that does the same thing do you mean the plugin or do you mean something else in the htaccess file.

I put the // in front of those two lines but it caused a different problem. Now there are different symbols where the funny characters were before. Boxes in IE and ? marks in diamonds in firefox.

I have the character problem too. I upgraded using fantastico for my blog, https://mioaklandcounty.com

Yes, I am pinging google.

I could upgrade it myself, but it scares me. Googlebot is definitely back now but my traffic seems so much lower than it was before.

Thank you. I just upgrading using the latest version my host has available. It is not the most current though.

My site is in the blog directory.

Thanks.

On the “options” page, my word press address (url) and my blog address (url) are both set as

https://mioaklandcounty.com/blog

I don’t remember how they were set before I installed the plugin.

My traffic has fallen of significantly since I installed and uninstalled and I don’t know if something is still wrong. I did lose maybe a week and a half of being spidered.

It is not empty.

it looks like this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I fixed it but I lost signifcant traffic for some reason. I know you don’t have to have a robots.txt file. I did not have one before I put in the plugin. Googlewebmaster tools was giving me an error message that there is no robots.txt file so I put one in and that resolved the error message and got google to spider again.

How would I go about hiring someone knowledgeable to look at my .htaccess file to see where the problem is. My traffic is down considerably since I installed and unintsalled this plugin.

I just got that to work about 5 minutes ago. I don’t really know what the problem was or how it fixed itself because I did not do anything but wait…

There is this one.

I installed it last week and managed to thoroughly mess up my blog. I am sure it was my mistake though.

I thought I did. But now I can’t find it -robots.txt, I mean

I tried to open htaccess. I uninstalled the plugin. Now I have made everything worse. Was just writing a new question.

I have tried to open that file and it seems to be empty.

I figured it out. Thanks. Issue resolved.

Figured it out. There are something called asides in this template. When I removed them the posts showed up.

I REALLY appreciate you trying to help me with this!!

Thank you.
