Thanks for the tip about the plug-ins! So often you forget to overlook the obvious things, especially since I hadn’t updated in any plug-ins in a while. Additionally, since the problem seem to be “internal” (i.e. on the Dashboard page) I figured there was some PHP issue (like my hosting updating something without telling me).

Come to find out, it was the “IDrive plug-in for WordPress”. If I disabled it, the issue went away. If i re-enabled it, the problem came back. Repeatedly.

Off to either find a new WP backup plug-in or deal with IDrive.

I am. Backup works, but only sporadically. No idea what to do here.

I can report the new version of Twitter Tools apparently fixes the problem. I do not get the “your attempt to edit this post has failed” error, but it seems like it takes a long time for new posts to “go through”.

This is on a small, personal blog (>1500 posts).

I’m having the same problem, and disabling Twitter Tools *does* fix it.

Nevermind… I guess the “Toggle Text Display” setting was still in place from my previous (default) theme. I toggled it back on and now it works!

THANKS, figaro! I’m looking forward to checking out lots of the other tips on that site!

Perhaps I should add that I’ve tested it in FF, IE and Chrome, too. No dice.

Thanks for the tips, figaro!

However, when I edited my header.php file to this:

<div id="header" role="banner">
<div id="headerimg">
<div id="headerimg" onclick="location.href='https://www.jimcofer.com';" style="cursor: pointer;" title="Home"></div></div>
</div>

It’s still not clickable.

Here’s EXACTLY what I did:

1) Downloaded a fresh copy of WordPress.
2) Unzipped it and renamed wp-content > themes > default to “jim”.
3) Edited the STYLE.CSS file to change name of theme to “jim”.
4) Edited header.php as shown above.
5) Downloaded existing kubrickheader.jpg file from site and overwrote the existing “fresh” copy.
6) Uploaded the “jim” folder to wp-content > themes on my site.
7) Via the admin panel, changed themes.
8) When that didn’t work, checked php code (above) via Themes Editor.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the tip. I opened the header.php file and changed this:

<div id="header" role="banner">
	<div id="headerimg">
		<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
		<div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
	</div>

with this:

<div id="header" role="banner">
	<div id="headerimg">
		<h1><a href="https://www.jimcofer.com"><img src="https://www.jimcofer.com/personal/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickheader.jpg"</a></h1>
		<div class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
	</div>
</div>
<hr />

The result is this.

Could you give me some pointers on how to move the new graphic up a little bit? I don’t know PHP (that’s why I use WordPress!).

Also, why is it that the PHP code I changed would only accept the absolute hyperlink instead of a relative one? I tried images/file.jpg, but it didn’t work until I put the full URL in there.

THANK YOU!

Will the above changes still leave the header as clickable, though?

I too have an image I’d like to use as a header, and I’ve set up “toggle text display” under “Customer Header”, but it’s driving me nuts not to be able to click on the header to go home.

Any suggestions, or should I start a new thread?

Thanks!

Awesome! The above fix works perfectly!

Thank you as always for the prompt help! This place rocks! ??

OK… what am I doing wrong here?

I changed line 105 from gettype( $string ) to gettype( $str ) and am still getting the error….

I was going to try fryewiles’ solution, and when I opened my site with my FTP client, I noticed that a file called “swfupload.swf” was not in the /wp-includes/js/swfupload/ directory (everything else in that folder was the same on my server, however). I copied only the “swfupload.swf” file to my site, and now everything’s aces again!

Thanks, everyone (especially fryewiles).

I am having the same problem as the OP.

I’m currently using Flash 9.0 r47 with Firefox and Flash 10 with IE. In either browser, there’s no “Upload” button with the Flash uploader.

I tried that: 192.168.1.151 (a private address available on both MY home network and my client’s network).

EDIT: My apologies… For some reason, I thought you meant “localhost” in WP-CONFIG.PHP.

I do have a follow-up question, however: Should I use the external DNS name of the blog in OPTIONS > GENERAL URL as opposed to the local machine name? I have a DNS forward-lookup zone set up locally (so their external domain names resolve to the local servers). So will the local IP suffice?

I wish I had an answer to this question too.

I have a client that needs WordPress installed on a virtual machine, and I get the exact same error(s) when following this installation guide (I’ve tried other, similar guides and the result is always the same).

VM is Windows Server 2003 SP2, nothing installed on the server except TweakUI, IE 7, Firefox and Silverlight. IIS is NOT installed on the server.
