Publish box "blank"

  • I noticed that the Publish box on one of my testing WP sites is mostly blank. There is no text at all (except for what looks like “S…” which looks like the beginning of “Status”). There is a Publish button and Preview button. I am able to publish posts or pages but can’t change the status or visibility, etc.

    This is a site I’m building on my testing host (godaddy) before moving it to the client’s host. I had some intitial problems with the install (moving an existing site to godaddy to tinker with it) and ended up using GoDaddy’s WP install app. This installed version 3.8.

    It looks like it’s a conflict with the theme. I switched to the twentythirteen theme and the publish box text returned. My question is, is there something I can tweak in the client’s chosen theme (Grider) to get the stuff to show up again in the Publish box?

    Hi, Can anyone help? I moved the site to the client’s server (on bluehost, formerly on my testing server on Godaddy), but the publish box is still mostly blank.

    More info (if anyone is listening) I tried inspecting the publish box elements with Firebug in Firefox.

    For this element or similar (in the publish box): <div class=”misc-pub-section misc-pub-post-status”>

    This is the css shown in Firebug:

    .jad [class^="misc-"], [class*=" misc-"] {
    background-image: url("../img/misc-icon.png");
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    display: block;
    height: 30px;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-indent: 100%;
    white-space: nowrap;
    width: 30px;
}

    On a hunch I just chenged display:block to display:inline.

    All the elements showed up (status, visibility, published, etc.)

    However, I went into the admin.css file in my WP installation (using Dreamweaver) and for this element it shows “display:inline-block.”

    Why is it different in Firebug and Dreamweaver. Plus, changing it to “Display:inline” in Dreamweaver then uploading the css file has no effect whatsoever. All the elements are invisible or in the case of the last two, obscured (only the first letter and a half are visible).

    As I can see this is a paid theme.

    Our forum is not for paid theme, can you kindly consult with the theme developer.
