Thanks for responding.

It turns out that it was a DNS issue. I had never made one of these moves before and I assumed that once I was able to log into the site the DNS propagation was complete. The site worked properly within 24 hours.

I never really worked out a good solution. I am using WP Hide Dashboard by Kim Parsell, and it’s doing what it is supposed to, and redirecting any links to the dashboard to the users profile page, but it’s not exactly the solution I would like. I’m waiting for a programmer friend to help me out with this, but so far there is a dashboard link in my sidebar that i can’t get rid of with out also getting rid of login links.

Thanks for responding. I will try out the link checker. I suspect it may have something to do with Google not having crawled the site recently. It’s a new site with a URL from an old site so I might just have to wait. I keep reading that Google images and NGG don’t get along well. Even if you have site maps properly submitted, there can be problems.

I am interested in pursuing all possibilites on this so if anyone else out there has any ideas I would love to hear them.

Thanks.

Still looking for some assistance. My site is https://www.templemountaintea.com.

I have scrolled through the widgets files looking for the link, but I haven’t seen it in there anywhere. I am assuming that the link is not accessible through the editor???

Anyone have any ideas. The best I have been able to do is inspect the code in firebug. It doesn’t appear that firebug will help me locate the file that the dashboard link is in, and besides, I believe that I would have to go back and change it every time the plugin updates.

Is is possible to eliminate a link using css? I have tried to contact the developer but so far no luck.

There are no options for this link in the plugin settings. I really don’t know much about code so I’m pretty much searching around blindly at this point.

Thanks for any help.

This is the PHP code that is in my function.php file that concerns the header widget:

function header_widget() { ?>
	<div id="header_widget" class="sidebar">
		<ul class="sidebar">
			<?php if (!function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Header Widget') ){	?>
						<li class="widget"><h3><?php _e('Header Widget', 'headway'); ?></h3>No widgets yet!</li><?php } ?>
		</ul>
	</div>
<?php }
add_action('headway_before_header_link', 'header_widget', '1');

Considering that I usually break things when I mess with PHP I would rather not start fooling with this until I have a good idea about what might work.

If I remove the line that says ‘dynamic_sidebar’, will that remove the scroll bars from my header widget?

Thanks for any help.

I’m using Chrome same as you but it’s not showing up, but for some odd reason it’s working in Safari, and I restarted Firefox and it’s showing up there. I am assuming that if I restart Chrome I will have similar results.

Thanks for the help. I think that did it.

Update:

I went back and checked Yslow and it is now giving me an A for “Use CDN”.

Apparently the site just needed some time.

Still getting some slow down from “make fewer http requests”

I thought I should add that the “make fewer http requests” indicated this specifically:

This page has 26 external Javascript scripts. Try combining them into one.
This page has 15 external stylesheets. Try combining them into one.
This page has 8 external background images. Try combining them with CSS sprites.

All external.

My host does not support mod_deflate or mod_gzip.

Thanks for the suggestion. Those both look like great options.

I sort of managed to work this out, so if anyone out there is trying to work out the same thing here is how I did it.

I installed three different Facebook plugins:

Facebook Button Plugin by websoft: This one allows you to use shortcode to plce a button where ever you want. I am using this to link to facebook page number one.

Facebook Fan Box by Marcos Esperon: This allows for a widget in the sidebar and I am using this one to link to facebook page number one as well.

Facebook Social Plugins Widget by Christopher Davis: This one also allows for a sidebar widget and I am using it for facebook page number 2. I am using headway and I had to set up a second sidebar block for the pages that need to have the button for Facebook page number 2.

Thanks for taking the time to look at that for me. Unfortunately it didn’t work either. I ended up setting up a second navigation bar for the pages that needed this link and am just using that until I can figure this out.

Thanks again.

Alright, sorry. I’m putting this code between backticks and it’s making it a hyper link anyway. Here’s another try.

<a href="templemountaintea.com/category/tea-fairy">Tea Fairy</a>

Thanks for the help. I tried it but it’s not working.

Is this how it is supposed to look?

`Tea Fairy‘

“category” is referenced in there three times and I’m not really sure how that is supposed to be represented each time.

The blog category is called Tea Fairy which I have also seen as tea-fairy and the ID is 14.

Thanks.
