Cannot adjust slider for column width

this looks like the sql, but don’t know what it means

a:64:{s:13:"theme_version";s:5:"2.1.1";s:6:"layout";s:11:"col-2-right";s:15:"main_width_2col";s:2:"69";s:19:"sidebar1_width_3col";s:2:"25";s:19:"sidebar2_width_3col";s:2:"25";s:12:"color_scheme";s:5:"green";s:10:"font_style";s:1:"0";s:9:"imageless";s:0:"";s:14:"footer_content";s:680:"

or maybe it is this

I have cleared all cache in everywhere I can think.

what would “Restore Defaults” do for me? what will it remove?

Have you tried:

– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems?

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

– re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?

Resetting defaults didn’t help

hope you didn’t mean “in this order” —
updated thru admin to Workpress 2.9.2 — didn’t work.

refreshing plugins folder now will keep you updated.

i don’t know what to tell you. all plugins off. plugin folder “refreshed”2or3times switched themes but most including fusion do not have the level of control of mystique. only thing that i have not done is ftp up new wp files. . . (hour or more using godaddy) have updated to latest wordpress package. . . thru admin. . .

this could be anything but went to bed very near finishing 3 month project and woke up in hell.

please advise. would you like a login?

when I login none of the Design settings layout style, color scheme, page content width . . . load. . . there is no setting,

Sorry me, I know…and the problem is: IE
Some problem a lot of days ago…cause: IE

esmi — thank you for responding.
and duca thank you for the support.

going to try to reload wp files today.

I have replaced all of wp-admin and wp-includes manually.
Still no luck. . .

Again the issue is — I can restore a very current copy the site db, but 1. it tells me I have activated the second sidebar (which I did not)and 2. I am unable to control the column width. so when I submit any changes to the Mystique settings screen — the main/column width sets itself to about 20%.

My guess is issue arose late Monday — when I possibly did not log out of wp and my host performed it’s nightly backup. . .I was using IE at the time.

What do I do now? Please help.

some of your theme files belong to older versions. for some reason they were not replaced when you updated mystique.

remove the theme, then upload a fresh copy of the theme to fix this.

if it still doesn’t work, press the “reset settings” button (this will remove all user css etc)

duh. . .I reset setting just now and this time it seems to have worked. . . i might take your advice and do the manual update of the theme. forget the backup I will just add this stuff back in my hand. . .

Thank you for the support!

As I am starting to add back some of my stuff in the settings panel —

I am seeing this a lot dirty=false to most tags. does anyone know what this is and/or where it came from?

did you paste code from any microsoft office products?

yes — I’ll admit it, a lot. (what are alternatives)
I have aptana and use for such things as reading style.css. . .

This was my problem?

I reinstalled user css — and it hosed again. . .
there was a whacked out comment. . . slow . . . meh.

ok I am getting there — only thing I am concerned about is the featured area — starred items are not appearing. . . maybe I am missing a setting?
