I tried to enable to default theme and some of the other ones as well and I can’t see any option to edit the content in the right side.

Even with the old backup where we run WP 2.6.x something.

I guess starting over may be faster than trying to find where the site broke.

Thanks! Only my site seems to have content “in the side” and I can’t see anything on the admin module related to editing the content. Not even in the widget area.

Perhaps it would help with the actual site. It’s located here: https://www.bmk84.dk

The site is in Danish but still. On the right side there’s a search bar. I have no idea where it comes from or how to remove it. BUT! Click on the menu “Billeder” (means pictures). You’ll see the right side of the content has a headline and also links to the different galleries. I have no idea how to edit the headline or the links.

I believe I was able to edit it a few years back but I can’t seem to find any clues in the admin section.

When I look at “Looks” “Widgets” I can see Sidebar1 and Sidebar2 to the right. But they are empty.

I finally found everything I neeed to re-create the whole thing. Even with the original data I can’t seem to find where to edit the sidebar.

Thanks. I think I’ll just try and re-create it. It’s probably better.

The problem came with the upgrades so something went wrong somewhere but it was a big upgrade so it’s understandable.

I don’t think there’s a javascript problem, I get no errors and I don’t use any plugins. I’m not sure which you mean “switch to 2012/2011/2010 theme” but I guess it makes sense to see if I can see the missing parts with a different theme. I’ll try that.

I searched via Google for answers to where you find out what version you have … like you said it’s in the dashboard. As I told you I’m new to this so I’m not that familiar with Word Press.

The upload picture function is a bit weird to me. It certainly could use some interface readjustments but then again I’m using an old version ?? so maybe it’s changed already ??

It appears that after uploading the new pictures they get assigned to where I choose to upload them – I don’t think the “old” configuration was like that but I decided to find all the pages where I had pictures and upload them so they would fit to the page where it’s used.

When inserting the pictures it did something different than how the previous site was configured. It simply added [Gallery]. I didn’t see if I could add the thumbnail alone since it worked out alright. The look on the site is a bit differeret from before though and it dawned on me that the picture I uploaded was created 3 times during upload depending on the settings on the site where the 3 sizes of the uploaded pictures can be assigned. I thought this was a bit lame. Since the size of my pictures could have been all kinds of different – deciding that a “thumbnail” should be 96×96 no-matter how big the original is seems odd.

Anyway. I’m sure everything is just non-logical when you’re used to uploading a file called 1.jpg and make an ahref to 1.jpg ??

Again. Thank you for your help and quick reply. I’m sure I’ll get to know Word Press better in the future as I intend to upgrade the site due to safety reasons.

1. Ok, I google how to find what version I had and found out I have 2.6.3.

2. I think I’ll remember that after this experience ??

3. Ok, I thought as much.

So about the thumbnails. Are they then generated or are the pictures’ size just manipulated in the posts based on the dimensions you provide or how does it work?

Thanks for the quick reply!
