    You can fix this error by manually adding the following code to the file easingslider.php, at line 30.

    $height = get_option('height');

    Just adding thanks and +1 to Dave333 for provoking this discussion, and to everyone else for responding patiently. The missing closing tag in Twenty Eleven’s functions.php was confusing me too.

    OK I figured out the cause of this issue.

    I cloned the site from a database dump of another WordPress site, but the original site was running WordPress version 3.2 and the latest version made a few changes to the media library.

    I’m assuming that the database tables didn’t match up between versions so it was Producing Strangeness ™.

    I went back and updated the original site to WordPress 3.1.3 and restarted the process, which fixed the issue.

    Thanks for the help. Please mark this one as resolved.

    Thanks for the reply esmi.

    I have tried all of your suggestions. This is not a theme or plugin issue. It seems to be a problem with the media library.

    I cloned this site from a database dump of another site by uploading it in phpmyadmin.

    The problem seems to be related to the link URL’s in the media library. When I upload a new image, it is trying to allocate a link URL based on an upload date of June 2011. Clearly something has been overwritten in the db that points to the media upload date/URL.

    I have looked through the database and can’t find where this pointer string would be stored.

    The wp-admin and wp-includes folders are both default – I have performed an in place reinstall of the latest WordPress version.

    Can anyone point me to where the media library stores its pointers?

    Thanks realwebtraffic. The “About” page is the homepage, by design, as the guy is a sole trader and he is his business.

    Glad you like the theme. Cheers. ??

    I like the fresh green theme and the layout.

    I think your menu should mouseover effects though and the Price Promise icon at the top should link to more information. ??

    Very nice indeed. Clean, well executed, informative and responsive. A+ ??

    Forum: Your WordPress
    In reply to: New site

    Your HTML is a bit messy. You have used <h4> tags alot, for example, to mark up paragraphs where you should be using the <p> tag. If you take more care with the tags you would find it easier to style your HTML logically with CSS.

    Where you have headings, you have chosen an underlined style. This is generally bad practice because underlined elements can be mistaken for links and visitors may become frustrated by trying to click on non-links.

    Punctuation is inconsistent. You need to take far more care when proofing copy text for your site. Examples of bad punctuation practice include placing spaces before commas “foo , bar” and before colons “foo : bar”. You shouldn’t place spaces before punctuation marks, only after them.

    Looks like it could become a useful and informative site though. ??
