One more question, with pretty much the same SEO issues in mind:

If either or both of the above sets of text is not an alt tag, is that text crawlable by the Google bot?

Thanks for any details.

All the best,

Diana

Thanks for the guidance Esmi, I’ll post on their forum.

Thanks Max!

Just installed QsW3 as I’m getting back to my blog after months of carpal tunnel issues and finally successful surgery. Have been thinking about reorganization and cleanup of some of the categories, and when this is done, will begin to use this plugin so that my content archives appear in the order I want them to.

I anticipate that I’ll have plenty of questions when I get to that point, so I appreciate your quick response – very reassuring to a relative newb.

All the best,

Diana

Hey Max (or anyone),

I’ve gotten no notices of any update to AStickyPostOrderER. Are you referring to a totally new version that I’ll need to install, or an update?

Would love to use this plugin if the feed issue is fixed.

Thanks much,

Diana

I know we’re not supposed to bump, but I’ve been waiting patiently for some help with this issue and none has been forthcoming.

Anyone?

Diana

Hello again,

Thought it might be helpful if I included links to my site and feeds.

I got into so much detail I forgot the basics!

Here’s my site link:

Thanks for any insight anyone can offer,

OK, moving right along here. What I did was to move the Genesis header.php to the Church child theme. That, at least, didn’t break my blog. Then tried the suggestions in your post, but only got double breadcrumbs, both still incorrect.

I sent an email to Joost from his website, and he got back to me pretty quickly. Here’s what he says:

No, there’s no way to fix that currently, as WordPress doesn’t have something like a primary category…

SO. At present, I don’t mind so much, because I’m just building my blog and my visitors are few. But when I finish filling the site out with content and get everything the way I want it to look and function, that breadcrumb issue is going to bother me.

How probable is it that WP will create “something like a primary category”? (Before I finish building my blog?)

Anyone?

Hey Rev,

Well,I’ve done some more research. Got what the div is (WP Codex) and I think maybe I know why your solution isn’t working for me. Is it because I’m running Studiopress and Church is a child of Genesis, not Twenty Ten? Let me know if I’m getting warmer or way off base.

So is your website only for those running WP and not Studiopress? (If so, I’ll be disappointed, I thought there was stuff I could learn there)

And what about your suggestions for increasing the functionality of Jooost’s plugin?

Thanks for any guidance, Rev, I appreciate it.

Regards,

Diana

Oh, yeah – one more thing.

What do you mean by

place the code under the main div in twenty ten

?

Do you mean instead of moving the header.php and placing the code there? And what/where is the main div?

Thanks for being patient Rev, I’m learning as fast as I can while also trying to write content for my blog.

I appreciate your time.

Regards,

Diana

Hey Rev,

Well, I was a bit hesitant to try moving my header.php (what I’d need to do first, right?) just because I’m still pretty much of a newb and it’s somewhat intimidating.

But I finally did it and my whole site went haywire. Everything was pushed over to the left and smooshed together. I just deleted the header.php from my church theme (you did mean that I should put it in the church folder, not the genesis folder, yes?)

Anyway, now that I’ve begun to browse your site, first of all, I’ve found another great learning tool, and second, I really want to tweak things the way you suggest in your article (linked to above) for the purpose of getting everything I can out of Joost’s WP SEO plugin.

SO. Any suggestions on what’s going on with the moving of the header.php?

Thanks, Rev

Hey Again,

Just so you can see an example, click on the first article on this category archive page (Container Gardens; Portable Nature).

https://www.myyardrocks.com/category/featured-yardscape-articles/

You’ll see that even though you have navigated here via the Yardscape>Featured Articles Category, when you click on that first article, which is also filed under Hardscapes>Adding Style and Function, the breadcrumb shows the Hardscape category instead of the yardscape category.

That’s it.

Hello,

OK, well I have done some reading in the WP Codex, and I have some idea now what my loop is.

I’m running Genesis 3.1 and the Church Child Theme.

Here’s the problem. If I have a post filed under more than one category, the breadcrumb remains the same no matter what category I access the post. For Example, Category A > Post A will show as the breadcrumb even though I’ve gone to Category B > Post A to read the post.

I have attempted to insert the above code into every loop I could find in an attempt to correct this problem, however the breadcrumb shows incorrectly no matter what loop I insert the code into.

Here’s a recap:

I can find no loop in my child theme.

In Genesis>Structure>Loops: If I insert the above mentioned code in one place, it outputs two incorrect breadcrumbs (both the same) and a breadcrumb above every one of my content archive excerpts. (Just one at the top of the page would be OK, but not above every excerpt); If I insert the code in a different place, I get the repetitive archive breadcrumbs.

Genesis>index.php and Genesis>functions.php have no loops

Twenty Ten has many loops. I inserted the above referenced code into every loop I could find in this folder, but not a single time was there any change in the incorrect breadcrumb readings.

I really don’t know what to do next. In the time that I was waiting for a response to this initial question, I have educated myself as well as I could in regard to the loop.

Still, I am unable to get the breadcrumbs to show correctly.

Joost? Anyone?

Diana

Hello,

I got this question answered here:

https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-install-and-setup-wordpress-seo-plugin-by-yoast/#comment-85313

There’s a comment/question section after this excellent article.

The answer was: %%sitename%%, etc.

So this question has been resolved.

Hey Tormentor,

So I was wrong about this being a WP 3.1 update issue. The admin bar is new with the update, but the SEO section on the bar is from Yoast’s WP SEO.

So we’re back to square one.

My .htaccess permissions are set at 666. What do they need to be set at to access SEO>SEO Settings>Internal Links on the WP 3.1 admin bar?

Anyone?

Regards,

Diana

Thanks guys. Sure do appreciate all your help.

Best regards,

Diana
