I'm working with WP on different subdomains, and for some reason a link on the landing page isn't going to the subdomain, but rather it's trying to go to a page that doesn't exist on the main domain level. I'm guessing this is some kind of auto direct issue, but the link is correct and I'm not sure what is causing this.
The main domain is in staging status: staging2.definingstudios.com. There are three links there, Lifestyle, Schools, and Commercial. The linnk to schools had been doing this too, but then it stopped and is working properly, but the Lifestyle one is trying to go elsewhere.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Christine
This isn't a WP issue but generally an issue with the theme. They tend to save this data in the DB. A lot of the time its serialized and doesn't get updated.
You can do a few things. Search the DB and see if you can find it. Use a plugin to do it or 95% of the time just go into that page and update/save and it generally fixes it.

I decided to give wp ago, thought it would save time from writing custom html, css and js.
For the most part it has, however, how the page renders in my admin page compared to live is very different.
Because it’s rendering in admin as expected I’m finding it difficult to correct the display issues.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how did you resolve it?
Compare the domain name in the URL when your are logged as admin to the domain name when you are live.
If you create your WP at first time in a development URL then moves to a different server it will not be able to find CSS files what causes wrong rendering.
I have migrated website to new domain, the problem is css not loading
if I inspect element it gives link to old domain, is there a way to update css links in wordpress?
please help
When moving a WordPress site to a new domain, you need to change the Site URL and Home URL, usually in the database or in wp-config.php, depending on how the site was originally set up. There may be other changes you need to make in the database, or by manually editing posts, like the locations of images in posts.
This page on wordpress.org is a good reference, for all the things you may need to change, and it shows a few different methods to make most of the changes, so you can choose the one you prefer:

Make sure to keep a backup of the site in case of any mistakes. If you make some changes, and most of the site is working, but a few things aren't, I would recommend making another backup, so you could restore it again without losing much work, if needed.
yes when you are adding links to your site you show use the function site_url().example/my_post in order to construct the links
I am testing out DNN 8 and am using the blog app and content management from 2sxc (great module, BTW!).
I have the recent blog post listed on a page sub-directory called '/articles'. But I also wanted some of them listed on the home page as well. When I add the app or module to the home page the url is '/home/post/post-title-here' while on the /articles page the urls are '/articles/post/post-title-here'. This creates the illusion that I have two directories with duplicate blog posts (which probably will get me some dings for SEO for duplicating the same content).
How do I get the app to use the common directory '/articles' regardless of where I put the module/app on the site? I've looked at settings all over and don't see anything that pops out at me. Also not sure if this is a DNN setting or a setting specifically to the extension. Finally, I'd like to be able to keep the year/date/month parts of my url as well as they were on the old site. I assume making that change would probably be similar with the solution to my original question. If that's a different fix, then let me know and I'll put it into a new thread. Thanks in advance!
This question is basically about the blog-app. Now if I understand you correctly, your question is "Can I have multiple lists on various pages, but all of them still link to my main details page". The answer is yes, but the exact solution depends a bit on what you need.
So basically there is a setting in the app-settings to define the main page. I believe it's empty by default, so that the blog-app works automatically without you having to configure anything. But AFAIK if you set that, all blog-details-links will use that as the only source.
I have a website that I made very quickly a while ago, using a WordPress theme. I completely forgot about it for a few months and checked the traffic for the first time today, and surprisingly it has been getting a lot of visitors and generated some income.
Currently the design is pretty horrible and I am 100% positive that if I re-design the website myself, I can get so many more visitors and conversions.
So I'm thinking about getting rid of WordPress and publish a new website using Bootstrap, and keep the same content and URL that I had.
But I'm scared that that would mess up my SEO and lose my organic rankings. I am on the first page of my main keyword and I would hate to lose this spot.
When a site goes through a design reconstruction, are there any specific steps that I should take? Should I just keep the WordPress site to be safe? Or am I worrying about something that won't even happen? I would love to hear any tips or feedback about this.
I have had recent experience of just this problem.
The URLs from the wordpress site are a commodity which is invested in search engine servers. Your ranking (which has taken time to accumulate) is in part dependant on preserving the URLs of the pages of your site.
You will ideally need to place a redirect (.htaccess file if using apache) from the old URL's to the new ones.
Rushing into commissioning a new site without reseaching this will cause you huge SEO loss that takes six months or more to recover from.
See this for more information.
Please take your time on this. I have too many companies call me on this when they screw it up.
Build out the new site on a test site that is not indexed, make sure it works, make sure the URL's are the same, test it.
Make sure you have a perfect htaccess file and I mean 100% perfect. Flip the new site on with the new and updated .hatccess file and the make sure your sitemap and robots.txt file are steller. Submit all of it to Google Webmaster and to Bing Webmaster Tools. If you change your URL's you are going back to the stone age. If you keep the URL's the same you will not see an issue.

I'm using "Formidable Pro" which is a fairly popular plugin like Gravity forms. It has a portion to create forms and take those created entries and display them as "custom displays" which is working great EXCEPT for the fact that I have to go back to the page where the shortcode has been inserted to display these entries and hit update before it will pull the latest entries.
What in the world could be causing this?
I've already tried asking on their support forums and I'm getting no response so I'm kind of desperate. I've made sure that it is NOT the theme or other plugins causing the issue.

Any help would be much appreciated!
The issue is probably your caching plugin. Try disabling WP Super Cache and see if your problem goes away.
Assuming that is what's going on there may be some heavier development required to fix it.
I'd start by looking for a way to tell WP Super Cache never to cache that page.
