Thanks, will do.

Hi Alchymyth, you sir, are a genius.

There was a space before the first word in the text of the caption for the image. I removed it and the problem went away.

Seems like it might be a bug with the twenty twelve theme? Should I report it somewhere?

Thanks for all the assistance.

Jon

I deleted and reinstalled twenty twelve and it still does it. I can’t imagine there is an extra div in the default theme. i am using jetpack for social sharing. Turning that off also makes no difference.

I switched to the twenty eleven and the sidebar was in the right place! It is quite vexing.

Thanks for the link Andrew, but it sheds no light. I had already searched that myself before asking.

Cheers,

Jon

Just want to add +1 for updating the admin user. Stats immediately started working and it has been annoying me for quite a while!

Thanks for the tip.

Nice one Allen, that seems to have done the trick. I had the problem, but didn’t have the Admin Drop Down menu plugin installed.

I put a post on the e-commerce site months ago, but no result. Looks like this one’s in the too-hard basket.

I know there are tumbleweeds blowing through this thread, but if anyone’s interested in getting to the bottom of this, here’s another piece of information…

I allowed comments in my pages and just discovered they’re no longer showing. There’s also no entry box for comments on the pages, though the box for “allow comments” is still ticked. The comments still show in the “edit comments” panel.

Any ideas still gratefully accepted…

Has anyone got a better solution? I’m getting the error when saving posts now!

EDIT: That seemed to be a one-off, I can post again, though linking to an external image seems a bit hit and miss. Sorry to keep bumping this thread, I’m thrashing around in the dark a bit.

Would reverting to an older version of wordpress help or would that really stuff things up?

Think I’d better get some sleep or I’ll break something. If anyone can help clear up the fuzzy areas in the plan, and perhaps avoid losing data, it would be much appreciated.

Could you be a little more specific? I’m totally with you on the backing up part.

The procedure is as I read it:

1. change all your tables prefix names.

not sure what table prefix names are or how to change them. do you mean like change wp_posts to ab_posts?

2. run new installation of WP.

you mean delete files and reinstall like when upgrading?

3. when your site is running then rename your old tables and copy them over your new tables.

rename them to what? how does this differ from changing prefix names?

4. but not all, just post, links, etc…

what is etc? what do I leave out?

5. You’ll lose categories and maybe some other data.

Yikes, what other data?

if it helps, my server’s running

PHP version 5.2.4
MySQL version 4.1.22-standard

seriously – can anyone just point me in a direction here? anyone with this problem find a fix? this is a major bummer.

My current workaround is to load the images on my other blog and link directly to it. It seems to work okay, except the text formatting gets scrambled in safari (worked okay in firefox). I have no clue as to fixing the underlying problem though.

I re-installed wordpress 2.3.1, but still the same problem with uploading images, so then I rather bravely (I thought) deleted all the tables that wp-commerce added. . Still the same problem. Hair is being torn out. I am soon to be bald. Any ideas anyone cleverer than me?

I’m getting the same error when I try and upload images. I installed wp-commerce too. Any thoughts?
