@margje, I stopped waiting a long time ago. Sometimes there is support and sometimes not. It is run by volunteers who are willing to help but don’t know everything. The ones who do know everything are getting paid for their expertise.

It did run through all the images for me the second time. I don’t think anything changed in the way I did things, probably I just picked a time when not too many people were visiting and there were more server resources available.

But in the end it didn’t do what I wanted it to do, which was swap out 500px images from the old theme and replace them with 640px images that the new theme could use.

I was getting weekly backups emailed to me just fine. Switched to daily backups and they no longer get emailed, just collect in the backup directory. Switched back to weekly and it still doesn’t work. Receive other WordPress emails without problems. Using WordPress 2.9.2. Tried deleting and reinstalling the plugin. Also tried deleting and reinstalling WordPress. This is very discouraging.

When mine was hacked I found a modified version of an adsense plugin installed. The name had been changed to wp.

I had a similar problem, and it turned out that mod_security was interfering with WordPress. I contacted my webhost, they whitelisted some mod_sec rules, and now I can publish pages again.

Here is another thread that involves mod_security.

Thanks to BYurick, via Twitter, the problem is solved. Mod_Security, an Apache module, was interfering with WordPress. I had to contact my webhost, and tech support whitelisted some “rules”.

I never would have figured this out on my own.

day and name. It worked fine on my previous webhost. I am now on a vps with LiquidWeb and they were the ones who ported my site over.

Esmi, thank you for taking the time to help.
Deactivating all the plugins did not help. Resetting the plugins folder did not fix the problem. Switching to the default theme made no difference. When I changed the permalinks to the default setting, my browser couldn’t find the site when I clicked Save Draft.

I also used phpMyAdmin to Repair and Optimize the database. No problems were indicated.

I really don’t know what else to do.

Changing the permissions to 666 on all files inside /wp-admin/images/ and then refreshing the cache seemed to fix it.

tgiokdi, I neglected to mention it, but trackbacks were–and are–disabled for the post. But the comment spam still got through.

Someone else informed me that the comment came in through xml-rpc. What happens if you delete xml-rpc.php? How come they can comment on an image where the post supposedly has comments turned off?

rhayashida–you were absolutely correct, right down to knowing I used the Automatic Upgrade plugin–which I did not state in my initial post. Used the AU plugin on two different sites, two different servers. Both were missing the swfupload.swf file.

Good call. Thank you so much!

I am trying it out at Blogging Art and Practice. I was also surprised that there weren’t more options to set from the admin panel. And some of my plugins don’t seem to be working with it. But I do like the way it looks.

Right now, this is a theme that can really only be taken advantage of by those who are very familiar with php and WordPress. There is a readme file inside every folder of the theme to point you in the right direction, but novices won’t find anything that doesn’t sound like a foregin language.

No ideas on how to fix it. But in case anyone else has trouble importing tags: I couldn’t figure out how to import my tags from Ultimate Tag Warrior (UTW), until I compared my admin panel with a friend’s, and realized that my Import button is missing. You can regain the Import button by deactivating the plugin. If you are using WP-Quotes, don’t forget to re-upload edit-quotes.php to the wp-admin folder.

It turns out the image was coming from my Firefox browser cache. I cleared the cache and now I get the graph like I’m supposed to.
