[...] I wrote that about a month ago? Maybe you wanted to fix the problem, but you didn’t like adding a hunk of code to your header? [...]

My theme template got destroyed; in rebuilding the look and feel, I concentrated first on what the end-user would see. Blog statistics went way down. I was just getting used to having lost many people, and having lost those that the search engines had sent, when I worked behind the scenes and reinstalled this plugin.

Overnight!! Search engine traffic for three–Google, MSN, and AOL–increased 200% each, a couple of 100% search engine increases (from 1 to 2, but still. . .). After I installed the plugin, visits soared 243% the next day, almost to the pre-breakdown high!

I’m sold. Keep this stuff coming.

I think this is tongue-in-cheek, but I don’t know enough to be sure. I placed the code first in my theme’s Main Template, index.php. When I reread your instructions, and you said “header” I placed a copy of your code in the header.php file of my theme. So far the blog is running fine.
The question is, Is this duplicate content? ;->

Yep! It’s best not to touch the index.php file in the main WP directory! It does very little, but you can screw things up. Your index.php file must load stuff in an unconventional order. (But that’s ok. )

I see now that the file in the WP directory only instructs WP to use the one in the theme directory.

Thanks again for this!

Actually it is in the index php file in my theme’s files and directory. I have never touched the index php file in the WordPress directory. What is that file for?

Will, if it’s the index.php in the Wordpress directory, it will work there. Just remember to add it again whenever you upgrade!

Thanks! Very strange. Have you ever heard of this? I am not real advanced in this stuff, but I found the bit you described above in my index php file. I put the code in that file and it seems to work great. Make sense to you??
