I have the home page set to the about page, which is what I want in the end. And no special menu under Appearances->Menu.

Thanks. I just posted over there.

This is what the gallery looks like when it works: https://www.whetstone.wesley.edu/2013/04/20/wishfest/ .

The theme is Advanced Newspaper, which we purchased from a company called Gabfire. Perhaps I need to post this question on their support site, if the theme is causing the problem.

I don’t see the Gallery setting option. All I have in the upper right is an X to close the box I’m choosing images from.

Thanks. I created the gallery by adding the post, clicking on create gallery, selecting the photos from the media library, then clicking create new gallery. I didn’t check the settings, since I never have before and the galleries always worked. I’ll recreate it and check the settings.

I turned off all the plugins. That didn’t solve the problem. Changed to the default theme and the gallery behaves so differently that I couldn’t tell if that was the problem. When I click on an image in the default theme, only that one image comes up, nothing from the rest of the gallery or from the media library.

I’ll try that. It didn’t occur to me to deactive the plugins, since my other image galleries all work fine. It’s just this one that’s a problem. I’ll try these suggestions.

I decided to take a shot at an upgrade. Upgrading to the latest version seems to have cleaned up whatever was wrong. Luckily, my theme still works.

That had an interesting effect. Now when I edit the post, the text comes up black — then, as I sit there watching, it changes to white. I tried switching themes; same result. I did notice that I got a flash of the bar with buttons for bold, italics, etc. When the text goes to white, the bar disappears. I have no plugins that should be affecting the edit function, though I did at one time. Those have been turned off and deleted.

I saw that, but it didn’t work out of the box. Luckily, someone else had had the same problem and posted which lines to delete from the function file. Weird. I now have Twenty Eleven working, but even that gave me white text on a white background when I edit a post or page. I’m going to try the other solutions over winter break, when I have more time to fix the site if something I do breaks it.

I put the Twenty Eleven folder back, hoping to be able to at least get to the admin screen. No luck. I was able to edit its function file to turn off the function that was hanging, which got me in (if anyone needs to know this in the future). I did try editing posts from a couple of different themes and I still have the white-on-white problem, so it’s not theme specific.

I tried switching to the Twenty Eleven theme and got a widget error. From there, I was unable to get to the site, even far enough in to change the theme. I FTPd in and deleted the Twenty Eleven folder, hoping WordPress would default to its own default theme, but all I’m getting now is a blank screen. Does anyone know where the name of the current theme for a WordPress site is, so I can go in and edit it? Btw, the site is at https://mediaarts.wesley.edu.

I deactivated the plug-ins a while ago and that didn’t fix it. I haven’t tried the other ideas, so will do that now. Thanks.

The problem seems to have fixed itself . . .
