Hi Jason.. I too just added WP SEO by Yoast. This post exactly covers my issues/concerns. All page titles are tagged automatically tagged H1 in the templates, is that correct? And on blank pages where the content is actually in the Builder Layout, I can ignore the WP SEO alerts/suggestions like:
There are 1 words contained in the body copy. This is far too low and should be increased.
The keyword doesn’t appear in the first paragraph of the copy, make sure the topic is clear immediately.
No images appear in this page, consider adding some as appropriate.
No outbound links appear in this page, consider adding some as appropriate.
The keyword / phrase does not appear in the URL for this page. If you decide to rename the URL be sure to check the old URL 301 redirects to the new one!
The page title contains keyword / phrase, but it does not appear at the beginning; try and move it to the beginning.
No subheading tags (like an H2) appear in the copy.

Is that correct? Thanks, Mike

Thanks Jason… didn’t think to use FireBug on the console! It was a host issue. Turns out that relative links outside of posts were triggering false positives of a malicious or invalid requests. The hosting service added exceptions to the relevant rules for the wp-admin area.

Thanks Jason. Yes, I have been playing with the responsive options. Nothing works exactly. And I have been thinking along your line of an alternate slider all together. However, interestingly, we just moved over to a pre-launch dev server and the slider mobile response is much different. The newer server is running WordPress 3.5.1 where as the old one was 3.5. It seems that under 3.5.1, the slider text gets set to “display: none” on mobile devices. Any experience with this? Is there a place were this is set and easily changed? The new home address is http://fm3mobile.com/harmonicfundservices/

Great.. and thanks for the pointer to the PrettyPhoto docs. mike

I haven’t actually tried two galleries on 1 page. But sounds vaguely related to the issue I had last week with pictures repeating and getting appended to the gallery. Seems like WordPress is very finicky. Picking up on Jason’s observations on the extraneous paragraph tags, I actually deleted the galleries and the HTML and started fresh, inserted my gallery again. Everything is fine now.

Hi Jason… having a problem with one of my prettyphoto gallery links. The first picture in the gallery repeats twice before the other pics. I think it is the result of an earlier error. So I recreated the gallery. But it seems to have appended to the bad gallery-1. http://timmudd.com/hfs/technology/portfolio-management/

Is there a way to clear out or delete galleries?

Thanks in advance, Mike

Dang… not so much a problem for me, but there are other site editors that are not comfortable with the text editor. Thanks Jason. mike

Hi Jason,
I’m having some residual issues after I setup my gallery link to a single thumbnail. All works well on the initial set-up. But if I go in and edit the page in any way, upon updating the page, WordPress changes my image insertion HTML, breaking the gallery link and messing up the page. Using [RAW] doesn’t seem to help.

As an example, my original code is:

<a href=" http://timmudd.com/hfs/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/RTRiskReport-10.jpg " rel="themeblvd_lightbox[gallery-1]"><img class="align-left  wp-image-2316" alt="RTRiskReport 10" src="http://timmudd.com/hfs/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/RTRiskReport-10-320x200.jpg" width="288" height="180" /></a>

Wordpress changes it to:

<a class="wpGallery mceItem" title="gallery-1" href="http://timmudd.com/hfs/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/RTRiskReport-10.jpg" rel="themeblvd_lightbox&lt;img src=">"&gt;<img class="align-left  wp-image-2316" title="FM3 - Reconciliation Risk Report" alt="RTRiskReport 10" src="http://timmudd.com/hfs/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/RTRiskReport-10-320x200.jpg" width="288" height="180" /></a>

A broken example can be seen at: http://timmudd.com/hfs/technology/reconciliation/

Suggestions on how to make this not happen? Thanks, Mike

Hi Jason… sorry, meant to include that: http://timmudd.com/hfs/

However, the CSS I included in question actually worked. There seems to be this odd delay when updating the builder of the homepage and when the changes actually cycle through to the what shows up in the browser. Clearing my browser cache doesn’t seem to help. Thanks, Mike

Jason… your code was literal! “gallery-1” is the ID! Works perfectly! Thanks!

[mhp]

OK… but I guess I’m missing a basic step… how does the gallery name get set as in “gallery-1” in your statement.

When I insert a gallery into my page is shows as [gallery link="file" ids="1165,1133,998,980,979"]. I don’t see anywhere that a name gets assigned to the gallery. What am I missing?

Thanks! mike

Wow, the digwp post solution actually worked quite well for my needs at this moment, Thanks Jason! Though I can anticipate some control issues in the longer run and will explore an appropriate plugin.

[mhp]

Jason… have you set a timeframe for release of the next update? It would be great to make use of the shortcode plugin you mentioned, in particular the [raw] shortcode. In the mean time, do you have any suggestions on how to avoid WordPress reformatting html?

[mhp]

Ah.. so easy, thanks!

On the customizations, appreciate for the advice. Will look into. I’ve taken this project over mid-stream.
