Thank you!

Alexander, thank you for your quick response to this issue. I very much appreciate it and all is working as it should now.

I’ve discovered code that part way gets what I need to have happen. This code to pull the sibling pages into the sidebar. How do I turn the page title and thumbnail here into links with the permalink embedded?

I’m so close….

<?php global $post; //not neccessary if used in the loop
$parent = $post->post_parent;
if( $parent ) :
	$siblings = get_pages( 'child_of=' . $parent . '&parent=' . $parent . '&exclude=' . $post->ID);
	if( $siblings ) foreach( $siblings as $sibling ) :
		//start of whatever you need to output//
		echo $sibling->post_title;
		echo get_the_post_thumbnail($sibling->ID,'medium');
		//end of whatever you need to output//
	endforeach;
endif; //ends if( $parent ) //
?>

Here is the site. https://www.downeastthunderfarm.com/

If you look at the random posts in the right column, some show the featured image, some do not. Where the featured image is not showing, I looked up that image and double checked that it was indeed copied over to the new server, and it is there, but somehow not showing when called for in WordPress.

If I go to a post page for one of those entries that doesn’t have a featured image, when I look in the media library, there is no image associated with that post.

When I exported the wp_post and wp_postmeta tables from the old database (which I still have access to) I exported everything. Is it possible that when I imported them, some of the entries didn’t import? Or is it possible that all the entries did not export? I seem to have the right number of actual posts on the new server, so I’m guessing it’s the data in the wp_postsmeta that is messing me up.

If I want to export/import tables, is csv the best way to do this?

Thank you for your time!

Yes, the images are in the correct folders – all but some of the thumbnails and the galleries are visible from the front-end.

Beautiful! It works. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this and it takes me to the WordPress page cannot be found page rather than the url listed in my custom field “website”.

My custom field contains data similar to www.mysite.com which should take the user off the WordPress site to the URL contained in the field.

I started this thread. I tried an amazing number of things to try to get my computer to loose the old cache. Yesterday, I opened up my blog and there was the visual editor – just as it should be. Three weeks to clear out that cache seems crazy, but things are finally happy on my end!

blogger2020, started with that all the way up in the very first post above.

I have since totally shut down my antivirus. Cleared the cache and hard refreshed. Multiple times. Nada.

So far on my laptop I’ve gotten the visual editor to work in Chrome – not in IE or Firefox. My primary desktop I’ve not gotten the visual editor to show in IE, Firefox, Chrome or Safari.

Consequently, on my husband’s computer from which I have never edited my blogs, I got the visual editor to show up with no trouble.

I hate cache.

The hotfix didn’t do the trick.

I know this is a caching given the successful functioning on another computer (that has the same software/browser, etc as the computers I’m having issues on).

Are there any special tricks in Firefox to lose the cache that I may not know about? I’ve done the obvious Clear Cache including the entire history and the CTRL/F5 – numerous times.

??

Thank you Buzzdeisgner.

Curiously, I went to a computer that I’ve never used to work on my sites before and checked them. They work absolutely beautifully – visual editor showing just as it should, so I know this is a cache thing. The Use Google Libraries did nothing for me. I’ll give the hotfix a run.

robthecomputerguy, can you tell me more about hotfix .8? I’m not familiar with this – where to get it, etc. A quick google search left me confused on this.

I confess I’m at a total loss here. I was so excited last night when I got one site on one computer to show the visual editor following lewatson’s instructions.

Despite jumping through these hoops I have not been able to get the second site to show the visual editor or either site on my desktop. I don’t have anything fancy running here – Firefox as the principle browser, Windows 7, Avast anti-virus with no additional ad or popup blockers. I just seems like my computers will not give up this cache.

I’m afraid to update my other sites to 3.3 until I can figure out a sure fire way to get the cache cleared. Ugh.

lewatson, I jumped through your series of hoops on one of my sites and it seemed to do the trick – only after step 5 I had to CTRL/F5 a couple of times before I could do the happy dance.

What your scenario added to what I’d done before was to edit a post while in the Twenty Eleven theme before switching it back to my theme. Silly, but it worked. Thanks for posting!

I deleted the wp-admin and wp-include folders and then uploaded fresh 3.3 folders. This did not solve my visual editor issue on at least one of my sites (I’ve only done it on one site so far).

I created an entirely new WordPress site install and I’ve got the same issue in this brand new site – no visual editor. This is the case in multiple browsers and on different computers.

Still stumped.
