Can’t see an image.

And I recommend you set a permalink format:

I’ve never seen behaviour like it. The whole <div class=”content-bg”> appears to be repeated below the footer. If you’ve not done too much configuration to date, I’m with 123milliseconds… try another theme. If you’re not expert at hacking themes, this one could take too long to get right, particularly if this is testament to its quality.

The easiest approach is to pick a theme that has the features you require. IMHO, there are many things wrong / not right with your current theme, not just on the menu front.

May I recommend any and all themes by WooThemes. These guys were so good on the menu front that WordPress 3’s approach to menus is based on WooThemes’ work.

In Admin, go to Settings > Media.

You have moved WordPress. I think you should check how closely your migration followed this process:

If you have just a dozen or so, you can set new (correct) dates in the quick edit mode for each post in turn.

If you have too many to attempt manually, then you’re best bet is a bit of MySQL in phpMyAdmin. My MySQL skills are only amateur, so you’ll need someone else to guide you for that approach.

Just checked on another WordPress instance running on the same hosting account, and whilst that will allow me to rotate and save, I can’t crop there either.

My host is Blushost. Perhaps it’s chmod thing?

Yes, tried that… I’m familiar with a range of image software. But nope, not having it. Just tried a vertical flip too, and that just sat there with the progress wheel spinning for 10 minutes… more than sufficient time for a 50kb jpeg!

Thanks. Mmmmm?

This may sound stupid, but I’ve done it myself so…

Are you editing the live site or a sandbox (a version of the site that isn’t live)?

First, to answer your questions:

1. My WordPress instance runs at an add-on domain in a folder called public-html/mywordpressTLD. Not sure then whether one considers this to be the root or subfolder
2. I am indeed using a customer permalink structure, and simply reselected the same and saved

So, a BIG THANK YOU. I followed your instructions (the main instructions, not the restore backup option mentioned towards the end of your comment) and problem solved. I can now delete plugins and assign featured images.

FYI, the Your Current Root htaccess file does have a section as you describe. Specifically, the only part not commented out with hash / pound sign is:

Options -Indexes
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

AITpro, thanks again for your help. If I can help you in anyway ascertain what went wrong here, please get in touch (philipsheldrake.com) or we can continue here. And perhaps I won’t try implementing BPS again until we know what happened.

Disabling other plugins makes no difference, and I was able to assign featured images previously, right up until I installed BPS.

Here’s something else a bit suspicious, making me reconsider .htaccess as the cause. I’ve been able to delete plugins before, but I’ve just tried now and I get this error for the very first time:

403 Permission Denied
You do not have permission for this request /wp-admin/plugins.php?

This is after activating BPS Default Mode and then deactivating BPS. So just downloaded the .htaccess for the website in question (at /public_html/thesite) and found that it is indeed “# BULLETPROOF .45.8 >>>>>>> DEFAULT .HTACCESS”.

So the evidence strongly suggests that BPS caused the problem, given nothing else has changed bar adding some new editors, but I can’t see how. Odder and odderer!

Thanks AITpro,
Just activated Default Mode as you suggested, and I still can’t assign a featured image. So guess BPS isn’t the cause. I’ll pop back here when I’ve found out what’s causing it.

BTW, I take it @crazywhistlepig saying:

Bulletproof security leaves behind the .htaccess file even after disabling/removing the plugin

isn’t the case when I’ve activated Default Mode.

Thanks again.

Hi AITpro, I have the featured image upload problem (as in it won’t work) running Neutica+ on top of Thematic with BPS. You write:

So far it appears the a simple solution would just be to add an htaccess skip rule for just the media.php file, which would just skip all the BPS filters if the media.php file is called.

… except for .htaccess newbies like me it’s not so simple ??

Could I trouble you for some quick instructions? Thanks in advance.

Found that not only had the image not been uploaded to the path WP suggests, but that the directory 2009/12 had not even been created. My folder permissions have not changed, so suspect there’s a bug in 2.9.

Created the folder and uploaded the image over FTP, and everything works.

Wonder where the image that was shown when I clicked “edit image” (see my last comment above) is stored?

Just upgraded to 2.9.

Both the flash and browser uploader achieve the same result. They say the .png is uploaded, but no thumbnail appears. No image appears in the post or page. But click “edit image” and there it is.

Going to resort to FTP now to see if that’ll do it.
