Well, I fixed my own problem. I guess I posted here too soon. But hopefully this will help somebody else who might have the same issue. The culprit was IE 9!! I uninstalled it, going back to IE 8 and now I cant highlight text in the post editor!

One more thing, I just tried it on two other computers. On one of them I have the same problem. Both computers are running Windows 7 and IE 9.

But I tried it on the 3rd computer which is running Windows Vista and IE 8, and I did not have the highlighting problem.

Any suggestions other than getting rid of Windows 7? Perhaps there is an add on in Windows 7 that could be causing the problem? Or perhaps its an IE problem from when I switched from IE 8 to 9?

@samuel B — thanks for the reply. Because you said there were errors on my page (which hadn’t occurred to me), I deleted everything on the page except for the table…and now the sidebars are displaying.

So I guess that was the problem.

Thanks a bunch!

Andrew, I just want to make sure I have all this straight so I don’t jack up my site or something…lol. And also so that you get the information you need.

in faceted-search.php:

1. uncomment lines 274 (take out the //).

2. after line 340 (that’s the line that says $query = $query.$queryfrom.$querywhere;), add this line: print(“
Executed the following query: $query”);

3. Go to site and run a faceted search. when results display, right click, select ‘view source’, and email the contents.

Please confirm the above instructions. Thanks.

Andrew, I’ve tried the newly released version 3.0, and it did not fix the problem.

Do you still want me to provide you the above information from the faceted search.php? If so, I’ll need a few more instructions as I am not savvy with css.

I understand instruction #1 and #2, but #3 “run the search”. How do I do that? Will it automatically ‘run the search’ when i enter the code in step 2?

Thanks!

Andrew, do you need the same information from me as well? Still not working properly on my site, and I can’t find any other plugin that will do a tags faceted search.

Yes, the 20 posts in question definately have both tags, yet it only pulls up one of them. I tried other searc combinations and am getting a ‘page cannot be found.’

I have tried deactivating plugin, even deleted it, then reinstalled, but it still doesn’t work right.

what’s odd is that it did work when I first installed it.

OMG! I sent an email last night to my host provider asking where I could find the error logs and briefly explaining the problem. I just got an email from them that they restored a backup copy of index.php. And ta-da: now it is working with the 2010 theme. Whew…what a relief. Thank you so much, govpatel, for your efforts to help me.

I wish I understood what went wrong. I restored a backup copy of the entire theme and it didn’t work. I put the index.php file back to exactly what it was before the site went down, and that didn’t work. But they restore a backup copy and it does work? Oh, well….lol. Thanks again.

If I won’t lose plugin settings and posts, then I’m fine with redoing the customization on 2010 Weaver. It was mainly just changing the background and header and font colors.

So do I rename the file in FTP or in the cpanel…or does it matter which place? Here is a screenshot of my FTP. https://bit.ly/fpApHx
I just change the name of the main theme file…the one cirled, correct?

I thought I had changed to the twenty ten theme, but now I realize I had only changed to a subtheme of 2010 Weaver. Now that I actually did it correctly per your suggestion (activated default twenty ten)…YES, my site is now showing up.

So that tells us that something happened to one of the files/plugins associated with my current theme (2010 Weaver), right? So forgive me, but I don’t understand how by just renaming the theme I’m using and reinstalling it would fix anything. Even if I rename it, won’t the files be the same (which obviously have something wrong with them)?

Please tell me step by step what I should do to hopefully not lose all my settings/plugins in the 2010 weaver theme.

I’ve contacted my host server to find out where I can locate the server error logs, hoping that if I can find the file with the error, then I can just delete and reinstall only that file. Would that work?

ok, i found it. settings–permalinks. it is already set on default.

I’m sorry, you’ll have to talk to me like a noob because I am. Only been doing WP and css stuff for less than a week.

Should I create the .htaccess file in the cpanel? Just do “new file” and name it .htaccess?

What do you mean by switch to default settings? Do you mean change the theme back to the default twenty ten theme? Sorry, i need you to spell it out for me. Thanks so much.

Ok, now I’ve just read that somewhere that an .htaccess file wont be created unless you change the permalinks option in WordPress. I have NOT changed the permalinks option, so I’m looking for an .htaccess file that probably isn’t even there. S

That was the only thing that I haven’t tried. I need some suggestions short of having to reinstall WP and start all over. I’ve tried about 5 different things and nothing is working.

When I access my files through FTP (filezilla), I do have it checked to show hidden files. I don’t see an .htaccess file. My understanding is it should show up when I click the root folder, along with all the .php files? is that right?

In my cpanel I don’t see any “option” to show hidden files.

I read somewhere that if you don’t have permalinks, then you won’t have a .htaccess file. I’m pretty sure I do have permalinks, at least in the ‘add post’ screen it shows the permalink http at the top. So I should have a .htaccess file, right?

I’m new to all this…been researching, teaching myself css, etc so bear with me.
