Hello again
A voice from the past. I've finally managed to install the company WordPress Theme and have a play with the style sheet(s) -
The ‘style.css’ and the ‘editor-style.css’ have the correct code. But the bold and italics, although displayed in the editor, disappear in the browser. It doesn’t matter what browser I use.
Any ideas?
Thanks Catherine

Thank you for you response.
I've looked at the Style sheet via the Visual editor. For 'em' and 'strong' I have:
strong {
font-weight: bold;
color: #000;
}
cite,
em,
i {
font-style: italic;
border: none;
}Which is identical to the default style sheet I have loaded in my test WP account which does display 'i' and 'b' in the browser. The above code is within a company theme - style sheet. I can't see anything wrong!
I'm going to ask the developer for a copy of the theme to put on my dummy site.
Will let you know how I get on.
Thanks again

Semantically the and markups are more meaningfull than the and tags, thats the reason for their adoption (its a convention by the W3C)
__If you have access to the .css file of your site you can try adding those two following rules:
em{font-style:italic}
strong{font-weight:bold}
Let me know if that worked out
PS.: If you dont have access to the css files through FTP you can do it by going on Wordpress Admin > Appearence > Editor, On the files on the right look for the Stylesheet (style.css), there you can edit it.****

Some side question: WPML works fine with SEO and Moz?

2 version of meta description and title
Hi guys, I have seen two versions of meta descriptions and meta titles for one URL (this is happening on a few of my pages). Initially, I thought Google is pulling the information from my page content. However, it is not the case. I have realized the information showing on SERPs are very old description (years ago information). Just a bit background information, we had a new website launched in April this year. The issue stated since the new website launch. Anyone experienced similar situation?

Best way to separate blogs, media coverage, and press releases on WordPress?
I'm curious what some of your thoughts are on the best way to handle the separation of blog posts, from press releases stories, from media coverage. With 1 WordPress installation, we're obviously utilizing the Posts for these types of content. It seems obvious to put press releases into a "press release" category and media coverage into a "media coverage" category.... but then what about blog posts? We could put blog posts into a "blog" category, but I hate that. And what about actual blog categories? I tried making sub-categories for the blog category which seemed like it was going to work, until the breadcrumbs looked all crazy. Example: Homepage > Blog > Blog > Sub-Category Homepage = http://www.example.com First 'Blog' = http://www.example.com/blog Second 'Blog' = http://www.example.com/category/blog Sub-Category = http://www.example.com/category/blog/sub-category This just doesn't seem very clean and I feel like there has to be a better solution to this. What about post types? I've never really worked with them. Is that the solution to my woes? All suggestions are welcome! EDIT: I should add that we would like the URL to contain /blog/ for blog posts /media-coverage/ for media coverage, and /press-releases/ for press releases. For blog posts, we don't want the sub-category to be in the URL.

Events in Wordpress Creating Duplicate Content Canonical Issues
Hi, I have a site which uses Event Manager Pro within Wordpress to create Events (as custom post types on my blog. I use it to advertise cookery classes. In a given month I might run one type of class 4 times. The event page I have made for each class is the same and I duplicate it 4 times and just change the dates to promote it. The problem is with over 10 different classes, which are then duplicated up to 4 times each per month. I get loads of duplicate content errors. How can I fix this without redirecting people away from the correct page for the date they are interested in? Is it best just to use a no follow for ALL events and rely on the other parts of my site for SEO? Thanks, T23

SEOMOZ suggested site optimzation change on 1 low level page
I asked this before, but did not really get an answer, so checking again. Really grateful for any help... My question is: Based on the PRO crawl Diagnostics – if we don’t make a recommended change on say 1 rather obscure page, does that just affect the SEO on that one page only, or does it potentially affect the SEO on all (more important) pages of the site? e.g. home page etc E.g. If we get a “Too many on page links” for a certain page that we don’t really want to rank for – does not fixing that particlaur page really affect the SEO for the site as a whole? Or just that 1 page (that I don't really care too much about) Hope someone is able to answer, thanks so much...
