SEO Mansfield

This is just an example test just to show my highly ranking, busy traffic blog site will do for the term search engine optimisation Mansfield, or SEO Mansfield, whatever really.

My personal blog is in a lot of the top 3 results on page one of Google for a vast range of terms, including ones like OpenCart 1.5 Templates / Themes etc.

From OpenCart to Web Design Randomness, the SEO power of this blog seems to be rather immense, and I’m pretty sure I can show this off to potential clients on why writing blog posts is so important for search engine optimisation.

WordPress is awesome for SEO, it was built for blogs, helping to get peoples ramblings, ideas and points of view across to the world, with the post Categories and Post tags, along with some awesome SEO plugins available for free, it’s made WordPress the perfect framework to build a search engine friendly CMS site with.

Today I logged in to my blog and accidentally clicked the “Update” button, it did it’s jazz and I just left the page.

I was then prompted by this error:

Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute

After waiting 5 minutes and realising that it wasn’t going back up I remote FTP’d to the folder and found a .maintenance file.

The best way to fix wordpress after this error is to just delete the file: .maintenance

After that, visit your blog again – It’ll tell you that you’re required to update your WordPress Database, click “Do it now!” and off you go – back online and ready to roll!

“An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request.” is a common issue, when searching for a plugin or even installing a plugin, this is how you fix it!

1. Login to your FTP server
2. Go to wp-includes and edit class-http.php
3. Find: ‘timeout’ => apply_filters( ‘http_request_timeout’, 5),
4. Change the value “5” to “30”, the value is actually is the number of seconds before the server times out.
5. It should be this: ‘timeout’ => apply_filters( ‘http_request_timeout’, 30),

And that’s it! Your An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request. error should no go away!

This error is usually caused by high load on the WordPress servers or when they’re having technical difficulties.

Recently, from version 3 and onwards WordPress has included or bundled a load of javascript with it, this is found in:  wp-includes/js/

This list includes scripts such as

• jQuery
• scriptaculous
• hoverIntent
• prototype
• colorpicker
• json
• swfobject

and more.

Unfortunately WordPress is forcing everyone to use jQuery version 1.4.2 with abit of a ignorant attitude, quote one forum moderator:

WordPress 3.0 will include 1.4.2, de-registering and adding your own is just totally pointless(seeing as that’s current).

Not quite, since some people need to use a pre 1.4.2 version.

Anyway to cut a long story short, here’s the Fix to Removing the Bundled jQuery that comes with WordPress:

Edit you’re themes functions.php

goto the end of the document and find ?>

before that paste:

if( !is_admin()){
wp_deregister_script('jquery');
}

Save, and upload.

And that’s it, you’re done.

Seems to have not hurt anything in the admin backend, but if you encounter any bugs or issues please let me know!

Also you can try this:
if( !is_admin()){
wp_deregister_script('jquery');
wp_register_script('jquery', (""), false, '');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}

Wootheme Users

Open your functions.php file, find:
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* You can add custom functions below */
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
And paste:

if( !is_admin()){
wp_deregister_script('jquery');
wp_register_script('jquery', (""), false, '');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}
