Okay. That’s what happened–moved my site, with additional permalink issues. This really helped. Thanks again!

TYVM, bhpress! This worked. I changed both the folder and image permissions. I know how to fix them if this happens again, but my question is, will it? Did I do something wrong that caused the permission numbers to change? Just wondering. But thanks for helping.

Krishna, what does “403 Permission Denied” mean exactly and how do I fix that? How do I even check for that because I didn’t see that error message. Should I try to resolve this with BlueHost?

Well, I use the visual editor to edit and post. But I just looked at the page in HTML and the code for the two images reads:

<a href="https://peterkobel.com/the-buzz-on-elephants/lucy-king/" rel="attachment wp-att-328"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-328" title="Lucy King" src="https://peterkobel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Lucy-King.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="151" /></a>

and

<a href="https://peterkobel.com/the-buzz-on-elephants/180px-elephant_near_ndutu/" rel="attachment wp-att-329"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-329" title="180px-Elephant_near_ndutu" src="https://peterkobel.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/180px-Elephant_near_ndutu.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="240" /></a>

Hey Krishna. Here’s a test I did with an old blog post I wrote. Uploaded the images from my desktop.

https://peterkobel.com/the-buzz-on-elephants/

The images are in my media library sans icons.

Sure. It’s peterkobel.com. The new page on which I can’t insert newly uploaded images is peterkobel.com/green-roofs-green-cities/.

Yes, Esmi, I have taken your missives about creating children to heart and worried about cutting mine loose. Thanks. Philophotog, I never used Google libraries. All my plug-ins are deactivated. I should be able to insert images without any plug-ins, anyway. Nothing, so far, seems to work.

Krishna, I’ve disabled the few plugins I had, and nothing changed. I should reactivate them? Also, do I risk losing stuff if I reactivate the Twenty Eleven theme, thus deactivating my child theme?

If the photo icons don’t reappear in my media library and/or gallery, do I then try to upload the same images again?

And, finally, whether this works or not, I do want to go back to my child theme, right? Such stupid questions, so little time.

Hmm. The permalinks thing didn’t work. All of the images uploaded pre-upgrade are in my media library with visual icons and usable on any new page. All of the images that I’ve uploaded post-upgrade appear in the media library with names only–no visual icon. I can’t insert them into any page. In fact, I can’t insert images from anywhere — my computer or library or by URL.

Krishna, thanks. But I’m not quite sure what you mean. My permalinks are set to post name. Are you suggesting setting them to default or something else?

I did go in and change some permalinks. Thanks. They were screwed up in myriad ways — I still can’t really figure out how or why. But I’m slowly getting it back together. Thanks again!

Thanks much for your response. I did check wp_options, and both siteurl and home read https://peterkobel.com. So I still can’t figure out the weird repetition of the domain name.

Thanks so much. Works wonderfully. I pushed it a bit away from the right margin to make it more symmetrical with the left margin. With help from people like you, I am finally getting this. There’s a learning curve, but it is incredibly satisfying when you begin to get it. Thanks again.

Thanks, vtxyzzy. It does move the site description flush right, but it stays on a separate line. I’d like for the site title and site description to be on the same line, as in the default Twenty Eleven parent. I don’t know why the site description went down to a separate line and became flush left, cause when I preview the 2011 parent, it looks the way I want it to be. Cheers.

Thanks!
