Those tiny text links under the title are cluttering the Home Page fighting for visitors attention.

The reason I deducted could be well-intend. Letting visitors to access information “within 3 clicks” – by put all these options there to help users.

Research* has long challenged the “3 clicks rule” – a very popular myth.

The number of necessary clicks affects neither user satisfaction, nor success rate.

What matters is the “scent of information” along the user path. Every click or interaction should bring user closer to their intend destination and give them the confidence that they are going down the right path.

Don’t you think this one without those walls of text links is visually appealing?

* Jakob Nielsen’s usability tests found that “users’ ability to find products on an e-commerce site increased by 600 percent after the design was changed so that products were 4 clicks from the homepage instead of 3.” from the book Prioritizing Usability

Recently, I was hire to move Wordpress site/blog to a new hosting

These SQL statement help me when page and post did not show up on the new host

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, ‘http://www.old-domain
.com’, ‘http://www.new-domain.com’) WHERE option_name = ‘home’ OR option_name = ’siteurl’;

UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, ‘http://www.old-domain.com’,'http://www.new-domain.com’);

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, ‘http://www.old-domain.com’, ‘http://www.new-domain.com’);

Where do I run the SQL script?

Every WordPress site/blog uses a MySQL Database which can be accessed through your phpMyAdmin even if you are not using cPanel hosting. Login to MySQL database that houses WordPress tables via phpMyAdmin or login to the DB server and run MySQL client as root.

No confidence of moving Wordpress site/blog to a new domain or location?
