Okay, so this is the deal. I have been working on my site for a few months and I have one issue that I can just not seem to figure out.
I have my header tabs broken down i
My menu does this http://take.ms/Z4k3e it used to be across and I don't know how to correct it do you?
I am not as good yet at easily diagnosing a problem but if you pm Leoemery he is great and is always willing to help! Sometimes the issue is just how you have set it up sometimes it is a theme issue. Pm Leo and he will be able to help you!
I will try to change menu tabs from Pages to categories and see if this resolves the issue thank you everyone
My menu does this http://take.ms/Z4k3e it used to be across and I don't know how to correct it do you? If I click on menu it is all ther but as a drop down
Use Categories instead.
A category LEGIT people will understand
A Menu Item Blog does not tell that the LEGIT reviews are in there
And categories do get indexed and ranked in google, whereas Menus do not. All in one SEO has a check box "Index Categories": Check that

Apart from your menu as 'legit', create a category named "Legit". Include all your postings previous as well as future related to 'legit' under this category. While writing a page, you will find at the bottom right the icon for adding to a category. This is for the simple reason that you cannot have sub menus running into 20, 30 or 100s. Also, after including all your previous postings under the category 'legit', you may delete your undesirable sub menus. Hope this helps.
so are you suggesting then that the "legit", you would like to automatically add all posts put under "legit" in the menu? if so then you'll need to look at using categories on your post, then adding a category blog roll on the page.
I use categories on the menu for this. Put your posts in the relevant category, when someone clicks on the category link they'll see a blog roll of all the posts in that category. Articles. Reviews, and Free Stuff are all categories on my site. The reviews I've broken down further as I've added more posts. http://toolsforquilting.com
Hope that makes sense!
These are easy fixes. Please have a look into the text I posted recently. If you still have problems just contact me and We shall go though this together. Jovo

Jovo Hi. Thank you for the great info in your link about ' posts and page add to menu'. I was getting into a real tangle till I found your post about it. I have it almost exactly how I want it, for now .
I have a question though.
When I changed my top menu to include drop downs, it had the effect on my site that causes it to appear wider than it was before...so now you need to scroll sideways to read all of the title...it actually extends out across the side bar.
Do you think it is just a limitation of this particular theme or can I tidy it up further?
Maybe you can please take a look and give me your opinion?http://thecashedupnomad.com/

Hi, I had a quick look. It is a bit about how your theme looks like. But it is also much more about your titles in sub-menus, they are very long.
No theme is wide enough for your titles. But if you still wish them as they are, you can use a simple trick, just move some of those items in the menu (like build a business, and travelicious) to the left and then all the sub-menus will be shifted left and they will fit into screen.
Could I move them all to the left? eg home, getting started etc
How do I do that? Can you point me to a training if it is not a simple answer?

Is a Single Title ever a better choice than a Double title?
Okay so I have been wondering about something for a while and wanted to get everyone’s opinion on it.
I w
I think the double title narrows it down to more targeted keywords which is excellent as long as that keyword phrase is low low competition.
Thanks for the answers, appreciate it. This will help me make better titles in the future I think....
The Best Macaroni and Cheese – The Macaroni Review
I would go for that title. It is not a single vs. double scenario, it comes down to what is the most engaging title. The more captivating it is to your audience, the higher the click-through rates. ;)
Single vs. double titles, which do you think is better?

I was doing some Website cleanup today and noticed that a few things on my site are missing.
1)On all pages there is no SEO Title when I go under the page manager. Should
Mine too but I don't think I've gotten that far in the trainings yet. Have you finished all the trainings?
Wow straight called me out on that one. lol. It is just something I noticed was missing and I was not sure if it should be missing at this point. Crossing my T's and doting my i's. At least it is just not me missing these things though, that makes me feel a little better.
I do know that all in one seo does not self populate everything...your titles you do need to add yourself. Also your keywords and meta descriptions.
So are you adding specific keywords manually? to the SEO Keywords option within post manager?
Hi Damon, sorry, I can't really help you, but I would like to know these answers too, so I hope someone can answer for you.

How do I disable the post date from being shown in the url of the post pages. I would like the home page url/postname instead I am getting HomeURL/2015/02/12/POSTNAME
I figured it out Settings permalinks and select the post name only option. Thank you, MarineMom and floridajf for trying to give me a helping hand I do appreciate it....
See if you can edit this in your current theme. There is no need to change your theme. Just take your time looking through all of your theme's options.
Try changing themes, you won't lose any progress, and then change back, see if this helps. You might have to do some rearranging though.

I use categories on the menu to do this. Works like a charm!
