Thank you so much, ESMI.

Thanks for that, Michael. I will give it a try and see. The idea behind FD-Footnotes seems to be a good one.

Thanks again.

I downloaded the FD-Footnotes and belatedly found out it was not 2.9.1 tested. That frightened me away.

I was interested in the WP-Footnotes but I could figure out how to make it work.

I do thank you, MichaelH for your help though.

It turns out the culprit was a plugin: Adblock Plus. I disabled it and all was fine with my sidebar advertising widget. I could see it again.

JKovis,

On your last point; the answer is that does not seem to make any difference. Every other computer that I know of can see it but I can’t. Still to answer you question. My wife’s and my computer both the Windows XP OS. Her computer is a Dell laptop and mine is an IT built Desktop PC.
The IT that built it worked for us in our internet cafe and computer shop in the Philippines.

Hi Shane,

I tried your suggestion to disable all the plugins. It did not seem to work. Do you have any other suggestions. Don’t hold back to be nice. Tell me what you think. I will admit that I am a technical idiot–that’s a step or two below dummy, I know, but facts are facts. I hardly understand computer and internet technology at all.

I need help with the issue.

Jkovis, you are echoing what I said when I wrote, “other computers do see the widget.” I appreciate your response though. Do you have any ideas on how I can make it so I see the Amazon advertising widget on my computer?

I believe you. I am going to do it. Unfortunately I have an account on HostGator (they are good) that has all five of my blogs in it and the blog I am concerned about is the primary in the account. That means I will be downloading five blogs to make that happen. I am sure there is a way around that, but I am not savvy enough to figure it out.

Thank you so much for your comments. I would ask you to restate all that it is best for me to download.

It seems to me you said I should use the export function for the posts and comments, etc. And I should download the wp-content and wp-config.php.

Do I have that right?

Can it all be downloaded via WP export function? I have never used that and have no idea exactly what it does. I do have FileZilla, too.

I do not trust the plugin offered above. Hope to find another plugin or learn otherwise how do I add affiliate code to the template.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Lawrence

How do I add it in the post editor? It is code from the Amazon affiliate program. this is the Omakase link code. They call it the “Leave it up to us!” They explain, “Omakase links show your site visitors what they’re most likely to buy based on Amazon’s unique understanding of your site, the visitor, and the page itself.” That is the functionality that I need.

I believe this code is java script (JS). I tried adding the java to the bottom of a post in the post editor and that makes it barf, as one tech type puts it.

Thank you, iridiax. That worked.

wp-rory,

Thanks for trying to help.

The Visual Editor is not disabled. And, yes, it is the buttons and boxes above the text area that are missing when I use Firefox, version 3.0.8, on this particular installation only for this one URL only on this PC only. I can see these buttons and boxes on another URL using Firefox. Using IE8 I can see the buttons and boxes on both URLs, and, at my shop, my IT can see the buttons and boxes on both URLs in Firefox.

I am beside myself. I don’t know what to do. I have removed and reinstalled Firefox while deleting the entries for Firefox in the Program files.

I can think of only one more thing and that is to ask for help in the Thesis theme forum.

Buddha Trance,

Thanks so much for you help. I am going to be rebuilding my computer system over the next day or two. After that I will try the method of handling MS Word,which pointed me toward.

Cheers.
