Thank you both. This has worked brilliantly. Although, having just set the background-repeat to no-repeat, I now have loads of extra space underneath the image, before reaching the footer at the bottom. What can I define within the CSS properties of the DIV, so that it auto adjusts for the height of the image? Sorry to be a pain, this is all quite new for me.

**UPDATE** – I’ve just deactivated a number of plug-ins – Gravity Forms, Newsletters, Tweet This, WP touch, WP Remote, and pages are loading instantly! Hmm…odd.

Ok. I think this is the issue.

When not logged into the site (this is the case for students whilst in school), there are still sections of the site that they are able to navigate to, without being pestered for credentials.

The way the site has been setup, is so that when not logged in, the front page displays all posts that have posted to either; any of the 7 year groups, or the ‘Everyone’ categories. I think what is happening is that, say 1 out of the 5 posts (I say 5 as this is the value within the ‘dashboard – settings – reading – blog pages show at most [ ] posts’), has been directed to the category groups mentioned above, but the the remaining 4 posts have been directed to a staff only category, only the single post directed towards a student category would show! As there is only 1 student directed post out of the 5 for that page, it only displays 1 post on the page. If there were for instance, 2 out of 5 posts for a page that had been directed towards students, it would show only those 2 for that page, and NOTHING else on the page. If this is the case, and I think it is, it involves navigating through the different, and numerous pages, to track down the other posts. Is there any code that I could implement, so that WordPress continues to scour which are student category directed posts, but consolidates them all, and displays consecutively, using all the page space available (so that say, 10 posts are spread across 2 pages as opposed to many). Any ideas? Apologies for the mind blowing explanation!

Hmm..there certainly doesn’t appear to be any text visible within the HTML source, that is otherwise missing from the page itself. Of course, it would be helpful to speak to the person that originally created the blog. Might have to go down that route.

it seems to me that you have to be logged in to view the site at all (?)

This is because a request to view the site externally of the school, results in a prompt for credentials. This isn’t the case in school. I’ll take a look at the code, as you have kindly suggested. Thanks for your help so far.

Hi Alchymyth. That setting is currently on 5. The issue only exists for users that aren’t logged in to the WordPress site. Once logged in, all posts run from the top of the page, to the bottom. I did disable WP SuperCache, but it didn’t help the problem.

Here’s a link to an example of what’s happening..

[No bumping. If it’s that urgent, consider hiring someone.]

Ah. Great.

Can I ask if anyone has any thoughts regarding my last post? (displayed again below). Apologies for badgering, but I’d really like to get this sorted!
‘..Thanks for the replies, everyone. What I suddenly thought about last night, was, how do I restore a previous SQL backup into phpMyAdmin, in order to search through for my content, without it being ‘live’ or potentially causing conflicts / issues with the actual current ‘live’ database?..’

@racer x – After looking through my wp-config.php file, the WordPress site creator has added in ‘define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false);’. Poop.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. What I suddenly thought about last night, was, how do I restore a previous SQL backup into phpMyAdmin, in order to search through for my content, without it being ‘live’ or potentially causing conflicts / issues with the actual current ‘live’ database?

Thanks for the reply JungleSpace. In what section of the WordPress database do I need to be looking in for this, and can I use a search utility to track down the specific entry/page id? Thank you.

I came across this..

Would anyone know if this function would still work for a cached page? Surely someone can answer this?

No one knows of how to do this?!

Thanks very much for the reply. Nice to know that we’re on the right track. At the risk of sounding even more novice-like, how can I determine if the MySQL tables require checking? Is there an error-checking report, which will inform of the need to check/repair the table? Thanks again.
