I have a WordPress website and I conducted a Google search for its URL, which is "https://domainname.com". The search result showed two pages for this URL instead of just one. The second page only contains the title and footer and I am unable to access it physically on my site. I would like to understand how I can locate this missing page within WordPress and why it is not appearing as expected, and also remove it if necessary.
Attaching picture for reference :
I have not tried any solutions yet as I am seeking advice and guidance on how to proceed.
Regarding what I was expecting, I was hoping to find a way to locate the missing page within my WordPress website and determine why it is not appearing as expected. Ideally, I would like to remove the second page that is appearing in the Google search results, as it only contains the title and footer and is not accessible on my site.

When adding an image to a WooCommerce Product, by default it creates a link that SEMRush flags up as a crawl issue, despite this being a default of WordPress.
"We detected that some links to resources are formatted with HTML element. An tag with a href attribute is used to link to other webpages and must only contain a page URL. Search engines will crawl your site from page to page by following these HTML page links. When following a page link that contains a resource, for example, an image, the returned page will not contain anything except an image. This may confuse search engines and will indicate that your site has poor architecture."
Their suggestions is this, but of course WP does this by default:
Review your links. Replace links with tags necessary for specific resources. For example, if you’d like to add an image, use an tag with an alt attribute describing the contents of your image.
Have you experienced this and if so, how did you get around it?
I have researched the problem and found only a few mentions of this, one suggests an edit of the functions.php file which I did try but it's not worked. Additionally the use of a code snippet, which again has not worked.
I've just had a website converted for me to Wordpress but the guy who did it has now disappeared!
I just need to get started with it but have hit some major obstacles. My home page is a series of blocks with images and text that respond very nicely to different devices. Trouble is when I go to Pages then Home, I'm faced with a completely blank edit box. Two hours of searching to find where these blocks are and how to edit them has failed.
Any help please!
Open up your theme customizer and at the very bottom you can chose a static front page. Here's where you settle this.
Go to Pages in the panel. Open that specific page "Home" and look which template who has been chosen for this page. Perhaps you'll find the right template.
However, it could be hard coded directly in the doc/file itself. Open up your text editor and search for a template i.e home.php or frontpage.php or something similar. Open up in text editor to see.
After another few hours of trial and error, the front page text is in a few places! Some of it is in posts, specifically the "blocks" containing text and images in paragraphs. Other parts can be found by going to Appearance | Editor then choosing Static Front Page. I've yet to find out exactly how these are made to appear on the Home page but I guess I'll get there with experimentation.
I'm having a very weird issue with a site I'm doing a little bit of SEO work for. I've never seen this and can't find another instance of it anywhere so am having trouble resolving it.
If you Google 'FitBeatz' on desktop, you'll see the site show up first in the search results. The title is "FitBeatz : 'Music That Motivates'". If you Google 'FitBeatz' on mobile, the title on the first result shows up as 'First'.
I'm not sure why that's showing up. It is a WordPress site and I use the Yoast SEO plugin but there is no instance of the word 'First' in any of the titles. I've gone to the homepage, viewed the source code and searched for 'First' and nothing shows up so it's not in the meta tags (or anywhere else for that matter).
Why would those results differ? I have no leads at this point and can't seem to find any documentation on this. Thanks for your help!
I have an issue in Drupal with getting node content to display itself. I suspect it could have to with the CSS styling, although I'm not 100% sure what's causing the issue.
Background:
So basically I'm trying to setup a blog but I'm running into serious issues trying to simply get the blog posts to display themselves.
I created a custom Drupal 7 theme using the export function of Artisteer (http://www.artisteer.com/?p=overview). A stylesheet called style.css was generated. I put some of my own CSS into this stylesheet along with the parts that were auto-generated. I should mention I did some amount of custom CSS to force the homepage to look the way I wanted.
I followed the instructions from the PDF at (http://learnbythedrop.com/buildingyourblog) to create a blog (great easy-to-follow guide). The most relevant pages for Views are pages 34 - 36, where he takes you through how to create a "Blog Post" view, in order to display your blog content correctly. However, when I got to the point where he created sample blog content and it displayed it's title and main content, this simply didn't work for me. See this link for example (Sample content that I created for testing purposes):
(http://www.productworld.com/blog-posts/2012/06/08/hello)
I can see a list of titles for sample content that I created (under the Recent Posts block), but I can't view any content from the individual blog posts themselves. The page is just blank.
Also, I can't see a list of the titles and teaser links - it should show up under (http://www.productworld.com/blog-posts) but that URL gives me a "page not found" error. This was something that worked in a previous iteration but now does not work.
Here are 2 screenshots of my View settings, in case it's relevant:

Questions:
What is the likely cause of the blog content not displaying? (If I do a preview of the blog post within the Views section I can see the blog content just fine, it just won't display on the actual page.) Is it styling? Some setting in Views? Some Block setting? I've searched my style.css file and tried commenting out everything to do with "content:hidden" and "display:none" to no avail. I've tried every combination of settings in the blog posts View to no avail. I've tried placing "Main Page Content" and "View: Blog Posts" blocks in various regions, and changing around the settings that restrict where the block can be displayed. The blog post title/body content doesn't show up in the page source at all, which could be a clue. How would I go about debugging such a problem?
Why is www.productworld.com/blog-posts saying "page not found", even though I've specifically set up a view to create a page at this URL? And why does www.productworld.com/blog-posts/2012/06/14/hello-world-3 show up as a valid page, when it contains "blog-posts" in it's URL?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I should display stuff to do with my stylesheet please let me know.
To me it looks as if you have panels overriding the Node template. Which is why your node is not being displayed properly.
Go to Structure > Panels and see if the Node Template option under Manage pages is enabled. If it is, that's probably your issue. You can tell if it's enabled by looking to the right of the text to see whether it says enable or edit.
You can then edit that setting and then edit the content and choose Node > Body to get the body of the blog post to show correctly.
Take a look at this intro video to panels if you aren't familiar with it. http://yadadrop.com/drupal-video/panels-3-overview
Take the leading '/' character out of your page path for the view - internal Drupal paths should generally never have that, but the system will prepend the configured base path to paths on your behalf (and it is probably already a '/').
I recently launched a Drupal site and noticed, after looking through my admin logs, that there existed a page in which a summary of every node on my page could be viewed. I found that this page was accessible at [mysitename]/node?page=1 and showed a list of all nodes in my site with a paginator at the bottom.
I've never run into this before and I'm unsure how to remove or re-direct from this page. It doesn't seem to be coming from a view or a panel, and I've never encountered this issue before, so I'm at a loss as to what's creating this page.
Here's an example of what I'd like to disable:: http://drupal.org/node?page=1
/node only shows pages with the "promoted to front page" option ticked. If you don't use that, it should be empty.
One way you could do it would be using Views; you could override /node to display something else ("Sorry, I don't feel like letting you do that today.").
Also searching the web for "drupal disable node" finds some useful stuff - e.g. http://groups.drupal.org/node/32704. That page has a variety of good answers.
Do what Chris Morgan suggested and also, to prevent double content issues with Google and other search engines, use .htaccess or robots.txt to prevent anyone to enter /node.
