ok I cleared the cache in Safari and that worked.
Anyone know the way to include a button I described above? for users

Yep – thanks!

Thanks for all that info. I hope others in the future find this post as well.

update:
Here is what the console displays when I look at my page in Google Chrome’s developer tools:

Consider using ‘dppx’ units instead of ‘dpi’, as in CSS ‘dpi’ means dots-per-CSS-inch, not dots-per-physical-inch, so does not correspond to the actual ‘dpi’ of a screen. In media query expression: print, not all, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.25), (min-resolution: 120dpi) (index):1
JQMIGRATE: Logging is active jquery-migrate.js?ver=1.2.1:21
event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead. jquery.js?ver=1.10.2:4
JQMIGRATE: jQuery.event.handle is undocumented and deprecated jquery-migrate.js?ver=1.2.1:41
console.trace() jquery-migrate.js?ver=1.2.1:43
migrateWarn

I don’t know what, exactly, this means.

Ill attempt to find a way to test,
but it sounds like the version of jquery I used in my code above, (1.11.0), is what made things incompatible?

Thanks for your help so far GreyParrots.
Hopefully help is possible, but I visited Themetrust earlier and it looks like you have to have had purchased a theme from them in order to even communicate with them, and I just use McKinley (free).

update:
After talking with a Bluehost Tech, she recommended deleting all plugins. So right now I have no plugins at all.
I also have re-installed WP from the Dashboard>updates link.
I deleted all my media files, and re-uploaded them.

Problem STILL present !!!!!!!!!!!!

Even when I adjust my css code, then refresh the page, just to test it out, no changes are made.

Someone?

update:
I’ve tried activating different themes (twenty fourteen, etc.) and the problem still persists. whether it’s my child theme that’s activated or an actual theme, the problem remains.

update:
Deleted the theme off my server. Then re-installed it from the Appearance>Themes in the dashboard.

Problem still persists.
Anyone?

Thanks!

also I might note, I put the js alerts there on purpose; it helps me to make sure the js code is working correctly. However the alerts do not pop up when I activate the original theme, as it is now.

ok I clicked on ‘activate’ in the theme in the Appearance>Themes menu.
Is that what restores it?

also – keep in mind when I was trying to learn the NextGen gallery plugin after I installed it, I made no changes at all to any files.

The only place I attempted to change things was on only one page (my homepage), and trying to experiment with the ‘add media’ button, etc.

that’s code to animate text on the page. but its not working, don’t know why.

what about my child theme? If I reinstall the theme, it wont affect the child theme will it?
Thats really disappointing that deactivating a plugin will still affect the site..
