Webmasters/tools identified 47 404 errors. I need a good plugin to create 301 redirects to fix these errors. Anyone have a plugin you recommend or other solution to my problem? I

Are the pages actually 404 errors when you visit them. Your site could have had complications at the exact moment that webmaster tools visited your website and you shouldn't be too concerned if the pages are actually working properly.

I deleted several pages and converted them to posts. Most of the 404s related directly to these delete pages or to attachments (media) that was associated with the pages.

I need to reset my XML sitemap and am trying to get to it on the WA host site. Filezilla is asking for the host name and port. Anyone know what these are?

Hi - I should have also said - if you use the WP SEO Yoast or All in One SEO - they will generate sitemaps for you automatically.

Cheers, Mark

Hi Mikell.

These are my settings in FileZilla to get to one of my WA sites:

http://take.ms/hAvAF

The host is just your domain here - eg. my site is http://wordswithlove.com - my domain setting is just: wordswithlove.com

I don't have anything in the port box.

Advanced Tab:

http://take.ms/QWBpU

Transfer settings:

http://take.ms/O8EWA

Charset:

http://take.ms/iP6w5

I hope this helps, but please let me know if you're still having problems?

All the best, Mark

In WP Settings you can turn on or off the ability for people to sign up as users on your site. What is the advantage to allowing people to sign up as users as opposed to having pe

Thanks for the info.

If you allow people to become users, they can log in to your site and publish whatever they want. I don't think you want that.

You want people to sign in so they can comment and engage on your site. You can assign users different levels of permissions on your site.

When searching through Commission Junction for products to promote, I keep running across terms that forbid keyword bidding on certain terms related to the product manufacturer. C

This has to do with buying traffic through PPC advertising networks like Google Adwords and Bing Ads.

When you buy traffic like this you're bidding on keywords where you want your ads to appear in the sponsored search results (ads to the top and right side of the screen).

The advertisers usually don't want you to bid on the same keywords they're bidding on or bidding on their trademarked name.

Thanks for explaining that. Now it makes sense.

Thank you, I had the same question

I thought they meant you couldn't use those keywords in your posts, thanks for answering this question

SEO is a totally different game. You can optimize your posts for whatever keyword you like.

That's so good to know, I was wondering how to make reviews about their products if I couldn't mention them in my posts.
Thanks for shedding light unto this topic

Thanks for the info, found a product I would like to use and this was one of there restrictions and thought I couldn't use the keywords. Thanks for clearing this up for me

I just went to edit a post and I no longer have a Visual tab for editing. In fact, I don't have either tab, it defaults to the text (HTML) editor. Anybody know what I did to make

I cant wait for anothr hour for the "ask a question" feature to load again". All my other site load smooth as silk but not here. Just me? When I edit in on WP the text comes right up but visual rarely does and takes forever to load. Lots of time wasted with this. I click the tab and the page just gives me a “blank” stare Help please?​

Hey, just saw this...
Back on track, I hope!

Hi there, i have a similar problem, i can switch to visual but it rarely loads and takes forever when it does. Text comes right up quickly. Any ideas. Thanks, Don

Thanks for the help guys. I found the switch that turns off visual editing. It is on the Users/Your Profile page. I guess you really have to be a programmer extraordinaire to not need to use the visual editor. I don't know how it got turned off on my profile.

I wish I knew & could help but I am not that experienced with WP. I believe they have a help/support section on the homepage but I am sure someone else here will know how to help. I hope this gets resolved quickly for you.

Thanks, Roseann.

Glad you got it resolved and thanks for letting others know how to fix it if it was to happen to them.

Hi Mikell, On the right hand side do you see the tab that says Visual/Text or is that gone too?

Thanks for the help. Yes the Visual/Text tabs were gone, but I found the reason. If you go to Users/Your Profile at the top there is a checkbox to disable the visual editor. I'm not sure when I turned it off, but I must have.
