Thanks. I appreciate your response.

I found that recommended header size in the Acme Themes Read More information. My heights on some are a little “shakey”, but I’ll adjust them in time.

Good luck with these guys. I can’t even get the header image to scale. It cuts off top, bottom, and sides and looks stoopid.

2018-06-27 PROBLEM RESOLVED!

In my public.html/subdirectoryname there was a php.ini file that contained a single line of code. That single line of code was calling a specific file in the WP-LC directory. I was instructed to append a “;” to the front of the line to comment out the offending code. Problem solved. Thanks, Wordfence!

@wfalaa Thanks for your comment. My host wasn’t able to solve the problem. However, the fine people at WORDFENCE took one look, determined the problem immediately, and had a very simple solution that worked. I am so happy. ??

I have now re-installed the plugin and it is running with no problems on three of my blogs. Obviously the difficulty was a result of something else occurring at exactly the same time. That something else has been repaired by WordPress.

Thanks for your response.

After further investigation, I strongly suspect that the problem occurred at exactly the same time as the Akismet stats plugin was experiencing difficulties. I think I happened to update the plugin on my three blogs, and a few minutes I was stymied by what preceeded the Akismet problem.

I’ll re-install Secure WordPress later today. At this point I don’t anticipate any problem with the plugin.

I just found the solution. Go to Gallery / Options / Gallery and deselect “Integrate slideshow”, save, and it’s done.

=========================================

I was having the exact same problem with [show as slideshow] being displayed where it never was before after upgrading the NextGen plugin to v1.6.0. It never showed [show as slideshow] before.

I had the same error on one of my updates. I tried disabling all of my plugins and the auto-update worked flawlessly.

And now for a history lesson. (You knew it was coming, right?)

The “it’s a fucking holiday in the U.S. of A.” that whooami makes reference to is called Thanksgiving. It’s celebrated in the U.S. as a time when invading religious zealots thanked the native North American population for letting them come ashore. They helped prevent the zealots from starving to death, and were thus rewarded with pestilence, slaughter, mass displacement and ownership.

Outside of North America, I can’t think of one other country or nation that celebrates Thanksgiving. Certainly not Mexico or Central America, where visitors from Europe (for you geography-challenged Americans, that’s a continent, not a country) brought disease, more pestilence, religion-induced slaughter, and conquest to a civilization that was more than a little advanced. Obviously, Europeans (people living on a continent, not a country) don’t celebrate Thanksgiving.

South America (another continent, consisting of many countries) doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving. Nor does Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and on and on and on. So basically, we have a country of 330 million people, far outnumbered by the remainder of the known world, completely in ignorance of the other six billion scattered here and there on the globe.

Oh well, it was ever thus.

As a result of this silliness, I have actually removed WordPress from my site and have left the html up. It looks better in html, and it’s very easy for me to edit.

Thanks, but no thanks, WordPress.

Thanks a bunch for your clear and concise response to a problem that has been encountered by many.

I don’t have much sympathy for a volunteer who disparages his audience. If you don’t like it where you are, why not go someplace else?

Given the popularity of the product, by now you should have become accustomed to the complete incompetence of the end user. That is nothing new in the software field. It’s been going on since at least the ’80s, in my experience. Whether the user is new or experienced doesn’t appear to have an effect on the ability of the software to mess up – at least from what I can see in other threads on this same subject.

Furthermore, the variety of cures that I have seen for the editor problem – including yours – don’t appear to have a consistent result. Obviously, since I have not previously had this editor problem in my other implementations of the software, I was unaware of how widespread it was, until now.

Had you actually taken the time to read some of the posts in this thread, you would have seen that some of us are having the problem with the 2.6.3 implementation as well, even with a fresh install.

WordPress has gained huge ground over the past couple of years. Such rapid growth obviously comes with its own problems, not the least of which has to do with personnel who understand their market audience. And yes, WordPress has a market, believe it or not. Start treating it badly, and it too will go somewhere else.

So far, the oldest thread entry on this subject that I have seen is from eight months ago.

I find your little rant rather quaint, given where you live. The rest of the world doesn’t run on U.S. time. Get used to it.

This is getting ridiculous.

I’ve looked over several other threads on this very same subject, and no one has a consistent solution that works every time for everyone with the same problem.

I’ve got three sites on the same server, and two work just fine, and have from day one. The third site, which I opened today, has this problem, and no one has a proper solution.

Is this problem so minor that no one from WordPress is aware of it and acting on it?

Well, I tried clearing my cache, and that worked to an extent. I now have the visual editor outlines appearing. No picture inside the outlines, but when I mouseover it shows the text i.d.

Clearing cookies didn’t do anything.

I tried this, but all the files are there:

I downloaded 2.6.5 and installed it on a new site, with the same results: no visual editor. I deleted, and installed 2.6.3 via Fantastico on the same site. Same problem – no visual editor. I did an upgrade from 2.6.3 to 2.6.5, but the problem persists.

My other two blogs upgraded just fine, no problems.
