EMG:

Thanks! I know I haven’t read many of the posts that followed mine but I’m happy to have gotten to this one because it gave a very good explanation as to why this change was made. An explanation, which I believe maybe should have been posted on the website WP Website since it seems to be the changed that’s affected the most people – in a negative sense, but it doesn’t matter, what I believe or think or opine.

The one thing that confuses me however, is the fact that even with the gods of the interwebs – the “Web Standards” – there still isn’t a VALID reason to have removed this function – unless you’re gearing the change towards developers.

If I was talking this out loud, I would have repeated myself so instead I implore you to read the above statement again. Then read below as if this line where never written.

Otherwise, there would have been no reason to remove the function. There are the ones that say they never used it. Then there are the one that always use it. You have two groups of people. The Standards and the Non Standards. If the change was to uphold The Standards then there shouldn’t even be a plugin made to replace what was Non Standard in the first place. Additionally if the function is there but it’s not being used then it doesn’t go against The Standards, so why I ask again was it removed???

I(we, the Non Standards) will never get an answer, not a real answer. The best one is EMG’s because it actually addresses and gives some reasons, logical ones even, yet it still doesn’t answer the question in full.

The Non Standards just have to resolve ourselves to the fact that there’s been a change and we have to adapt to the change, whether that means making a jump to Weebly, Muse, or Joomla… Or accepting what’s here and learning the ways of the new Web Standards.

I agree with the general consensus here. WordPress is becoming more and more oriented to be used only by developers. I’m confused as to why they would take such a user friendly option away. I hadn’t even realized this option was removed until last night when a client called me asking how to create space between a picture and content. I told her to refer to the tutorial I had written for her and she alerted me to the fact that the option was no longer available. Then she asked if I could revert her install back to the old version.

It’s one thing to tell someone click here and enter a number as opposed to explaining how to write CSS class.

After the new install, I’m still having the same issues!

None of it worked and the last one deleted my site… It’s not taking the backup either (that part may be my fault).

I’m confused by what’s written above. I tried adding a featured image to my post but there are no pictures showing up in the gallery and I have 85 files loaded. I uploaded from the computer and the file doesn’t show up, but it’s loaded to the media library (I checked afterwards). It says that there’s an error uploading. What’s this error – I didn’t have the problem until I updated to version 3.5.1. What’s the fix??

WOW!!!! Thanks ESMI Theme Diva – I downloaded firebug and it took all of 5 minutes to figure it out!

Forgot to add… Check the “Cool Stuff” or “Wacky Faith” pages to see what it is I’m talking about.
