    Okay, so looking back at my articles for optimization…
    My Boundaries series is from 2 years ago, but I want to start there for re-optimization and check the keywords/phrases.
    Boundaries is the obvious keyword (well, for one of the articles), but it is way too broad.
    I think what I am struggling with is the main topic (i.e. Boundaries or Paving the Way) versus the keyphrase

    I’m not concerned with duplicate content in the sense that it is identical, but many topics are discussed multiple times. Example: I wrote about No Contact and then wrote about it a few more times to address the questions and confusions. I listened to the tutorial about canonicals yesterday and I thought I got it, but maybe not. How do I use them for this situation?
    Some of the new search terms (around a single theme) I have listed are:
    Betrayal Trauma
    Betrayal PTSD
    PTSD after Infidelity
    Divorce Trauma
    PTSD after Divorce
    With those, I can see how I could tailor multiple articles on that topic or theme and highlight a different keyphrase.
    By maintaining a list of keyphrases I can create something around each. That I get, but I also write based on a topic and that topic does not always translate directly to the keyphrase…UGH, what then. I think it is the topics that are most dear to me because they seem to come more naturally–the ideas come from what my own audience is already discussing.

    I really started this as a discussion in case I’m not alone. I wanted to comment on the recent Yoast article How to choose the right focus keyword, but comments are closed.

    I suggest you focus more on the interested reader of what you provide.

    What does this mean–of course the focus is on the interested reader. One challenge is that some interested readers are new–those searching key phrases–and others are my regular audience who are already familiar with my work.
    I guess they are more likely to read it anyway, so is the idea to write more for those who have not yet found me, but are searching?
    Some of my posts come directly from questions and requests made by my readers.
    Yes my last paragraph is full of those keywords, so are my 11 years of articles. I did not have an SEO plugin in the early years and need to go back through my articles to optimize, those keywords are the main ones I found in my initial research when I started my main site. We aren’t supposed to reuse, though I imagine perhaps we can use similar phrases that are not identical?

    Thanks…
    I was researching solutions and read the suggestion to use the classic editor plugin. That got me back in. I have not tested it further, but the pages are there.

    From cpanel file manager, I checked the privs in wp.config and they matched, where else should I check?

    I am changing hosts, but this blog was always with the same host–the original host was so unresponsive to support I had to rebuild rather than migrate and so this is a rebuilt blog–easy to rebuild again, but rather not. I have the content saved, but full backups were corrupt.

    Can you check if the db user indeed has all the privileges to access the site’s database?

    Yeas, sure…somewhere other than wp.config? I could easily be missing something or everything, this tech stuff is not natural to me.

    If not, you can use phpMyAdmin to grant all privileges to the database being used.

    How?

    Oops, I failed to notice last night… The previous error at the top of the site is gone, but there is now a new error below the post title and date and above the start of the post.

    It’s not really sorted. My site is up, but with a giant error message at the top–a different error message.

    My host fixed the issue…sort of.
    I have sent them a message to ask what they did, because now I am getting a different error message at the top of my site. It sounds like a plugin issue.

    I already have a support ticket; I’m just waiting for their response and with the holiday weekend things could be slower than normal.

    It’s not really free hosting. I am getting it for free because one of my forum members was helping me out and set me up with either his own company or the company where he works. I think he was paying ot forward in helping me because I run a support group.

    I’m having a problem with my host right now. It makes sense that the issue could be above WP. It says I am above my quota and so I cannot save changes when I edit wp-config. I’ve contacted the host; I’ve had free hosting for a few years because one of my forum members set it up for me, and he has told me who to contact, so it has not been one step. So I have not been able to enable wp_debug or wp_debug_log yet.

    Earlier today a few of my internal pages were working and I could access the dashboard–the I was pulled away as soon as it loaded. But even then the front page was still not working. Now I can’t access the dashboard again and the internal pages are not working again.

    Here is the .htaccess from my blog folder. Is this the one, or do you need the one that is up one level in the public_html folder if the issue is a level above wordpress?

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    
    <Files xmlrpc.php>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    </Files>

    Anyone?

    I think that I upgraded last time by doing it manually because this was happening–or a similar issue. I was then that it was an old problem with that previous version, but maybe it’s a problem with something else since it seems to be happening again.

    Why cannot the directory not be created?
    What am I missing ins some file or what do I have included in some file that shouldn’t be there?

    There were issues with WPconfig at some time–I think just before this problem began–so could something be going on there?
