    Email Optin Plugin Wordpress

    Wrap this form in a div with your own class, then use !important when defining all of the form elements. If there are css rules that are cascading over your changes, the !important will stop that making editing and debugging the css easier. ex) .your-form-container input{padding:20px!important}

    Content Upgrade Ideas

    Go to a shop and instead of plugging into an amp, get a DI (Direct Input with no effects, overdrive or filters) signal on an ipad using something like jamup pro. They probably wouldn't mind especially because this would be significantly quieter than cranking a tube amp. Grab some video of each...

    Crawl errors after moving platform

    As long as they are pages you didn't intend have indexed, like a category or product page, you'll be fine leaving those as 404 errors. You can mark them fixed, just don't be surprised if they come back. Google revisits 404s on your site to see if they have changed, even if your site is no longer...

    Publish Date, Last Updated, Query Deserves Freshness, & Google Fresh Rank

    5. They're most likely updating all the redirects to the new url because you wouldn't want to create redirect chains. Google gives up on those after a while. You could verify that with screaming frog or wheregoes

    The "No Dev Question is Stupid" Thread - Basic HTML / CSS / Etc.

    It's possible you jumbled up where your rules lie within the cascade. In the example below, the h2 color is defined for all styles then after it is defined in the media query. If you were to switch the order and put the media query rule above the overall rule, the general rule would override it...

    Parameters, AJAX and SEO

    Google does a good job of understanding ajax. You can do a fetch and render in Google Search Console or look at the cached pages for FacetWP's demo. Do a search for site:https://facetwp.com/demo/cars/ you can see that each parameter indexes by default. Canonical tag could work however...

    How can i post Amazon deals without using price info?

    Are you referring to your page title? If you're showing several products on the page, you could say "save up to 25%" and then you're not claiming that they all are 25% off.

    I'm Getting 3X As Many Keywords In My Analytics Data

    Not sure what happened but I'll take the nice little bump in keyword data though. Also, didn't realize you mentioned the time frame but the change took effect on the 31st for me too.

    Be careful with your robots.txt

    You could also do: Disallow: */tag/ This would match any url with "/tag/" in it

    Do you block hotlinking of images?

    I use cloudflare's hotlink protection. Yes, image scrapers will still link to the image url. It looks like a broken image on their page.

    Server keeps timing out due to memory usage - How to fix this?

    Google could be getting caught up those pages but they're not likely going to hammer your site. Do you have access to your server logs? Dump it into something like Screaming Frog's Log Analyzer and you can visualize what bots are getting caught up in and how frequently. New Relic could also...

    Publish Date, Last Updated, Query Deserves Freshness, & Google Fresh Rank

    Could impact bounce rate and time on page as well. Does that return the post to it's former ranking glory of when it was originally considered fresh? Or have you noticed better results because now you have post age, freshness and new content? That's exactly what I was wondering, thanks for...

    Publish Date, Last Updated, Query Deserves Freshness, & Google Fresh Rank

    That's very similar to a discussion @Steve Brownlie and friends had on their latest video. They saw similar results by only changing the date. Actually, thinking about that video is what made me look up this post. What I'm curious about is, what if I don't change the date but have all posts say...

    Is the Wordpress Default Font Too Small? What's the Good Typography Recommendation?

    Are you referring to the default wordpress theme? Because there isn't a standard wordpress font size, It's dependent on your theme. Don't like the size, increase it with CSS. Also, too small for what? If you have a site geared towards senior citizens you may need to crank those font sizes so...

    I left my job, can I make it with 4k?

    Can confirm, Woocommerce is clunky and has speed issues. Look into Magento, definitely more robust than Woocommerce and the community version is free. You can find hosting that offers single click installs. You could go the free tool route or pick up SEMRush, Ahrefs and SERPWoo and justify the...
