Most of this website is dedicated to supporting the Stallion Responsive WordPress SEO Package I develop. You’ll find various Stallion Responsive Tutorials and plenty of references to how Stallion works throughout articles within this website even when the articles aren’t specifically about the Stallion SEO package: examples include the general SEO Tutorial Series and the WordPress SEO Tutorial Series. Over the years I’ve offered a lot of free tech support for WordPress users and it can get frustrating when asked the same question that is answered and just a couple of clicks away from the visitor. You will find a simple list of all main articles on this website within the Sitemap, the sitemap is categorized so easy to find […]

WordPress Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request
I have over 1400 Posts on this site, & when I installed Stallion, all I can see from the home page is the first several lines of each post, which I understand. However, whenever I click on the post heading or to read more all I get is :
When I go to admin and dashboard and select view post I get that error again, BUT when I go to edit post I can see it all.
What happened? And how can I fix this?

WordPress Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request
That’s the sort of error you might get with incorrect permalinks/.htaccess rules.
There’s nothing in Stallion that might cause something like that.
Have you tried switching back to the theme you had running before Stallion, does it work?
Check your permalinks settings under
Settings > Permalinks
and your
.htaccess file rules, make sure they match the ones on the permalinks page.
Did you make any other changes between installing Stallion and checking a post and realising the posts aren’t loading correctly?
Make sure you have a root .htaccess file as well.
Highly unlikely Stallion is the cause.

Edit: I see you solved the problem within an hour or so of this comment, was it the permalinks/.htaccess rules?

For some reason my htaccess file disappeared, but I got that back and all works fine now. Thanks for the response.
Build a WordPress Forum
Hi, David
I have checked some similar weblog. They can place the forum on this webpage, so how can I place it. I tried to do it and learn from other source but I could not do.
I hope that you can tell me somehow. I want to place phpbb forum into my WordPress blog.
Thank you,
Adding a Forum to WordPress
Adding a forum to WordPress isn’t a Stallion Theme support problem and I’ve never tried to use PHPBB with WordPress o no idea how to integrate them (doubt it’s even possible).
Try the WordPress support forum and the PHPBB support forums, they’ll be better placed to help you.

Building a Forum with WordPress
I would like to chirp in my two cents, and say, building a forum is a very ambitious project. I have tried and been trying and maybe going back to just blogging.
The comment features in the Stallion theme are gold. I think search engines reward pages with a lot of comments and Stallion has developed the comment feature even more to replicate the benefits of a forum without the pain. I say this from experience as I am learning this lesson myself. That is any site that requires registration turns people off.
Any site where you can leave a comment, gets engagement. Dave please feel free to continue to develop the comment features any way you think would help.

WordPress Support Forums
Have you tried the WordPress Support Forums at https://wordpress.org/support/ there’s thousands of people there with expertise in various areas of WordPress who will help you with general and specific WordPress support issues for free.
It’s one of the sites I use for support when stuck on a problem as you can see from my profile https://wordpress.org/support/profile/seo-dave
Look for a plugin to achieve what you want. For the record the website you linked to isn’t a WordPress site, so they aren’t using a WordPress way to achieve what you want to do: no idea if the feature exists via a WP plugin.

How To Change Your FeedBurner Feed Address Without Losing Your Readers
Hi David,
I’m having an issue with my feedburner. I changed my blog’s domain.
Then, I went and changed the feedburner:
I’m using the widget Stallion RSS Feeds Widget, but every time I hit the icon/link “Article RSS Feed” it takes me to the old feed, and I got the following errors (it takes me to the old feed)
There has been an error of some kind. Ack! FeedBurner could not deliver this feed to you because of the specific problem listed below:
Feed Address:
HTTP Error (Code) and Message: (404) Feed not found error: FeedBurner cannot locate this feed URI.
I used FeedMedic in Google feedburner, but it reports all is OK:
No FeedMedic notices exist for this feed. Apparently, it’s been quite healthy. Well done on your part!
If I update the Feedburner like this (changed domain, but keep last part of the feed address, it works):
Initially I thought it was widget issue, but now I’m convinced it’s Feedburner… however, I remember having changed the last part of the Feedburner address (from blogcanadiense to vivirencanadahoy) e.g when my blog was called blogcanadiense and I changed to vivirencanadahoy.
How could I change the last part of the Feed Address without losing current readers?
Thanks
Héctor
P.S: The only difference to when I changed domains in my previous attempt, I was using Stallion 6.0 or so. For my second change of domain I’m using Stallion 6.2 (I don’t this it does matter though)

WordPress Website Caching Issues
Either you’ve fixed the RSS feed link (the link loads now) because the new feed is loading correctly (I think that’s the feedburner feed you want to load) or it’s a caching issue on your PC.
Try CTRL F5 a few times while on your home page and see where the link goes.
I didn’t see any indication of a caching plugin used, but if you are using one try regenerating the cache as well.

How to Add WordPress RSS Autodiscovery?
Hi David,
I’m trying to add my new blog to a blog directory, and it’s being rejected. This directory says:
“[Blogdirectory] uses Autodiscovery to determine your Blog’s RSS Feed. Please allow up to 2 hours for your site to be crawled for new RSS data.”
Then, there is a hyperlink to
Where I read:

How to add RSS Autodiscovery to your site
June 15, 2005
web
I sometimes see web sites or blogs that have RSS feeds, but fail to include the one line of HTML that enables RSS autodiscovery. Even some well known blogs such as 37 Signals – Signal Vs Noise omit the feature. Jason Kottke’s blog has autodiscovery support on the main page, but not on his entry pages.
Adding that one line of code to your template will make it easier for people to subscribe to your RSS feed. Here’s how:
The above link tag should be added inside the head tag of your HTML document.
You will of course need to change the value of the title and href attributes to fit your needs.

Is that something I should do in my Stallion-theme or it could break things in my blog?
Thanks
Héctor
How to Add WordPress RSS Autodiscovery?
WordPress RSS Autodiscovery Code
RSS Autodiscovery is built into Stallion already.
Under “Stallion >> Layout Options”, section “Advanced WordPress Settings >> Clean the Header Code” untick “automatic-feed-links Off: Removes Automatic Feed Links (OFF).”
You’ll see code like this in the head when viewing source:
This covers the main RSS feed and the comments feed.
This isn’t built into WordPress by default (it’s available, but requires code adding to the theme or a plugin to activate), for non-Stallion theme users add this to the bottom of your functions.php file:

There was An Error Occurred in the beginning of each posts
I want to ask you one thing as I found an odd thing when I changed the blog theme from another theme to Stallion theme and activated it, then I saw the words like “1470 Thanks. An error occurred” in the beginning of each posts, and I couldn’t fix the issue and finally I used another adsense theme again. Can you fix the issue because I can’t use the Stallion 7.0.1 theme as it will mess the post content. The issue was not happened if I viewed the full content of each article, it’s just appeared when the domain name is accessed with the blog post setting.
Thanks.

Reporting WordPress Theme Errors
That’s not enough information to track down the issue. If you can reactivate Stallion and copy and paste the entire error message I’ll look into it, had a few issues with the new thumbnail code in Stallion 7.0.1 not always saving the new options after an update (fixed in the next Stallion update which will be released soon) and that breaks the theme near the top of the main content.
Feel free to email the error message if you don’t want server details posted here or it doesn’t come through correctly as a comment (some code can be stripped by WordPress).
You can also try the following to fix possible options missing.
Activate Stallion, on the main Stallion options page near the bottom tick “Update New Default Settings” and save settings. This options checks all options that need a setting have the setting saved within the database and if any are missing fills them in with defaults. This fixes the thumbnail error I mentioned earlier.
Same can be achieved using the “Use My Defaults Settings File” settings as well.

WordPress Theme Error
I send you a screenshot regarding the error via screencast. Here is the url:
then you can check it up for that issue.
Really my site had ever used the Stallion 6.2 last year without having any issue, but I had changed the blog theme to another, and when my adsense account was disabled by google because of it has the significant risk to their advertisers or click fraud activity hence I wanted to use Stallion back with my new adsense account, then I installed the Stallion 7.0.1 theme back and activated it and I saw the errors happened at the beginning of each post content.
For this moment I still use another blog theme while waiting for you to see the screenshot and know what causing the issue. I took a screenshot from the Stallion preview but not yet to activate it because it will look bad in posts content.
Regards,
Roy

I forgot to tell you that I have ever tried to tick “Update New Default Settings” and save settings as you said which I did it before I reported the issue to you, but the error message still persist at the beginning of each post content. You can check it up at the screenshot I’ve sent you.
Thanks.

Not a Stallion Theme Error
That’s highly unlikely to be a theme error. A little research for that error suggests you are using an out of date plugin that has a fault
See “Version 1.5 (20 January, 2012)” info.
For future reference it’s difficult to track down errors/bugs without being able to at least see the URL to the site with the issue. You are lucky I found the above information with so little to go on.

Error Message Fix
Thanks. The error message has gone after I deactivated the kk-star-ratings plugin then activated the Stallion theme and then I reactivated the plugin again.
Really I had installed the latest kk-star-ratings version of 1.7 before, so the issue appeared because the Stallion theme requested us to install and activate it first before we activated the plugin.
Thanks
Error Message Fix
KK Star Ratings Plugin Thanks! An error occurred! Bug
It’s not a Stallion theme error/issue, it’s a known problem with the KK Star Ratings Plugin https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-kk-star-ratings-an-error-occured?replies=21 including in the latest version.
When I found the original cause of your error I posted above I also found other websites with the same error message “Thanks! An error occurred!” and none of them ran Stallion. Go search Google for
“Thanks! An error occurred!”
The above sounds like deactivating and reactivating the KK Star Ratings Plugin fixed the error. Nothing to do with a theme.
