Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Since Vipsky didn't get much in the way of a reply, maybe I can add some insight into why a forum search might not help him very much much - his question is the closest I could find to my own.

So, I recently began looking at ways that search engines will eventually find my sites. Starting from the assumption that BFA and WordPress were handling things like the title, meta description, meta keywords, etc. I started reading what Google has to say about SEO in their "Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide". This led me to think I would find nice tidy entries in my source code like:

<title>
<meta name="description" content=
<meta name="keywords" content=

On the four sites I'm working with, two have Atahualpa 3.3.3, one has 3.4.2, and one is using 3.5.3. It appears that 3.5.3 may have cleaned up some of the problems I've found in the other three, none of which have anything resembling my meta descriptions or keywords in the source code.

(Yes, I did select "Use Bytes For All SEO options?")

In the site (http://www.kenyatravelchronicle.com) with 3.5.3, the tidy entries do appear as expected in the source code when I access it through a browser. However, the title is not the blog title (as entered in the WordPress "General Settings" page), but is taken from the tag for the home page. Also, I edited the meta description and keywords at some point, and BOTH versions show up, the new one did not replace the old. My instinct tells me that is not a good thing.

My first thought was to edit these items directly, at which point I discovered that the header.php file under Atahualpa 3.5.3, which has all the other info I'm seeing in the source code, does not contain:

<title>
<meta name="description" content=
<meta name="keywords" content=

These entries must be getting pulled from somewhere else, but where is that, and can I edit it directly? If so, should I turn off "Use Bytes For All SEO options?"

Any general explanation of the structure of all this would be greatly appreciated. Any specific strategies for how to handle these issues going forward would be even better.

thetravelchronicle - I just tried to recreate the duplicate keywords and I always end up with one.
Try disabling all your plugins to see if one might be adding the extra META's in. other than that, I'd have to dig in and play with your site a little

>I just tried to recreate the duplicate keywords and I always end up with one.

I'm a bit stumped, but I assume you mean on another site where you tested whether you can edit and change the metas without getting a duplicate set.

If a plug-in is altering the way the "Save Changes" works on the "Configure SEO" page, I don't imagine turning it off would cause the duplicate set to go away. Are you suggesting that I turn off all the plug-ins, and test whether a new edited set will overwrite one of the ones there now?

Assuming that works, but I still have a second set of metas, is there a file somewhere I can edit myself? Can I just not bother going though the BFA interface in general?

All the Atahualpa options are stored in the database. Do an export of your settings and attach it to a reply. I'l import it and see if I get the doubble metas.

UPDATE: I just realized that at some point I started using the "Atahualpa Page Options" to input meta info, and didn't think not to do it for the homepage. When I later placed a similar description in Configure SEO, that's where the duplicate came from. Should I choose "No" on "Use Bytes For All SEO options?", and treat the BFA fields on the individual pages as though I were using a third party SEO Plug-in, or set it for "Yes" and just not fill in one or the other options for the home page?

I'm still curious as to whether there a file somewhere I can edit myself? Can I just not bother going though the BFA interface in general?
