Thank you so much! I finally found where my author bio was and then I realized I needed to edit the social media from within the profile in WordPress. Whew. Finally figuring this out is so relieving.

Thanks for letting me know.

Oh, sorry about that. Let me clarify:

I moved all my posts to /blog/ rather than keeping them in the root directory of my site. I did this by changing the permalink of posts.

Now, the problem is that Google and other search engines have indexed the blog posts without that blog directory.

Old URL for Posts (and indexed by search): https://patricktullytherapy.com/post-name
New URL for Posts: https://patricktullytherapy.com/blog/post-name

I want to ensure the posts are updated to the new directory in search.

Oh, update: the URL is now in the /blog/ directory, so the URL I referenced would be now at:

https://patricktullytherapy.com/blog/my-journey-starts-soon

Oh, by the way, I moved all blog posts to /blog/ so the referenced post is accessible at:

https://patricktullytherapy.com/blog/my-journey-starts-soon

I have looked at it and there are social media buttons that are squares but they seem to work. I’m not sure where the broken link is or how to fix it.

Oh ok. I tried searching closely and have never been able to figure out how to fix it.

Hello!

I just figured out that I needed to go to “Settings –> Permalink” and change the category from Post Structure to Custom Structure and add /blog/ to the beginning, so it now looks like /blog/%postname%/.

This does exactly what I wanted it to do. But I’m concerned now about how to apply redirects for all my blog posts that have been indexed without the blog.

For example: https://www.patricktullytherapy.com/explaining-partial-hearing-loss/ now resides in the blog directory at: https://www.patricktullytherapy.com/blog/explaining-partial-hearing-loss/

How do I fix it so that all current post names at the root directory have a 301 permanent redirect so 404 errors on search engines are avoided?

Thanks!

Hello! It seems that it would require a second WordPress install in a new directory. Is that the only way?

I was curious if there was some way to assign a parent category for every blog post without having to manually do this for new posts.

My website utilizes only pages aside from posts, so if there was some way to configure it so that WordPress viewed postings as belonging in a directory than that would be great.

Thanks for the article.

Sorry, I messed up with my linking… here are the three pages:

These do not have 301 redirects (I said they did in my main post by mistake):

https://www.patricktullytherapy.com/style_category/simple-pattern-style/
https://www.patricktullytherapy.com/style_category/christmas-style/
https://www.patricktullytherapy.com/style_category/valentines-day-style/

Sure!

https://www.patricktullytherapy.com/style_category/simple-pattern-style/
https://www.website.com/style_category/christmas-style/
https://www.website.com/style_category/valentines-day-style/

Oh, I was mistaken when I said I had 301 redirects for these pages. I had done this at one point and then removed them. It seems Google sometimes sees a page without much content as negative.

Thanks for letting me know about the “slugs.” I see these pages referenced across so many WordPress sites. It seems to me that based on what you say these should be left alone and the Googlebot’s report should just be ignored.

I wanted to update everyone with a new version of this post since I updated the directories of the pages. My apologies:

I am working on a form that was designed with Bootstrap and my website was designed with WordPress (tagDIV Newspaper 9).

The form looks pretty good when I have the header element and the form HTML inserted, but it ends up messing with my WordPress theme’s style.

How do I get only the site to look at the formatting (in header section) of the bootstrap form for the form itself and not apply it to the rest of the website?

I wanted to post here to see if there were any suggestions. I use Insert Headers and Footers (plugin) to insert the required header for the boostrap form and here’s the coding used (I put the coding in these pages so they would simply display the coding and not any results):

Custom HTML code to be inserted into whenever I used form:

https://www.patricktullytherapy.com/test/custom-html-for-form/

contact.php was inserted into the public_html folder of the site:

https://www.patricktullytherapy.com/test/contact-php-code/

For the header:

https://www.patricktullytherapy.com/test/longer-header-code/

I then tried to use a shorter version of the header code, but it ended up not working and perhaps affected more of the site:

https://www.patricktullytherapy.com/test/shorter-header-code/
Any advice would be welcome.

I’m curious if there’s a way to insert the header so the styling only applies to the form and doesn’t affect the rest of the website.

Thank you very much!

I wanted to ask:

Anybody know which theme is being used here? https://www.micheleberg.com

She appears to use a theme that has multiple footer columns.

On my website, I’d like a theme that also supports multiple columns in the main text as well, as you can see from the current website.

Thanks!
