ESMI – I have full access to the server. So will go and try your suggestions.
I was able to get the theme to change, and if I go in thru the admin, PAGES and click to ‘preview’ I can see the front end (in admin mode of course), and see the theme has changed.
I will go give your suggestions a try though. In the meanwhile before you posted…
I was going to go in and deactivate the few plug ins installed. Just out of curiousity I tried to run an update for a contact form plug in, it failed, then when I went back to view it in the plug in lists, it is totally gone. :-\ But the admin area let me deactivate all plug ins.
Not sure if this additional info helps. As of yesterday I was ‘up to date’ with the most current version.
This site is in a sub directory, and was moved there after it was installed – but I’m pretty sure I’ve run updates since then.

In reply to: [WPBook] [Plugin: WPBook] Does not post to Fan PageOk, I found this on another thread, and it fixed my problem;
On the advanced tab, in Facebook settings for your app, are the migrations for “OAuth 2.0 for Canvas” and “POST for Canvas” both set to disabled?

In reply to: [WPBook] [Plugin: WPBook] Does not post to Fan PageI’ll post – I’m having the same problem.
I’ve installed this plug in twice before, on two separate WP installs (domain names) but both on the same server. Both times it took me 45 minutes to an hour but I finally got it working.
This time – nothing. And I waited an hour+, deactivated and reactivated the plug in, uninstalled the WPBook plug-in, reinstalled it. Even tried killing the app in facebook and re-creating it. Then even tried to reset the secret. *sigh* ??

In reply to: #Access.menu drop menu not showing on custom theme –Well – it brought the menu up when you mouse over the parent, but as soon as you try to mouse on the child menu – they disappear.
Hmmm.

In reply to: #Access.menu drop menu not showing on custom theme –ROCK ON!!!! Good computer Karma to you my friend! ?? Thanks.
Now, where do you control the distance of the child from the parent? ??

In reply to: #Access.menu drop menu not showing on custom theme –More info: my theme is a modified 2010. When I reactivate 2010 the drop downs work.
In my edit, in header.php I pulled out this code:
<div id="masthead"> <div id="branding" role="banner"> <?php $heading_tag = ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ? 'h1' : 'div'; ?> <<?php echo $heading_tag; ?> id="site-title"> <span> <a href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a> </span> </<?php echo $heading_tag; ?>> <div id="site-description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></div> <?php // Check if this is a post or page, if it has a thumbnail, and if it's a big one if ( is_singular() && has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) && ( /* $src, $width, $height */ $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'post-thumbnail' ) ) && $image[1] >= HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH ) : // Houston, we have a new header image! echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'post-thumbnail' ); else : ?> <img src="<?php header_image(); ?>" width="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH; ?>" height="<?php echo HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT; ?>" alt="" /> <?php endif; ?> </div><!-- #branding -->
I compared my CSS to the orgional 2010 CSS and… really am not finding anything substantial. I did ‘drop’ display: block; with in the #access statment but I put it back, still no drop down menu.

In reply to: Transfering content from html site to WordPress – extra white spacesOk, aphill70 – do tell me (since I am the queen of going thru my butt to scratch my armpit) what does \r\n mean?
I might as well learn something while I’m here. ??

In reply to: Transfering content from html site to WordPress – extra white spacesSHAZAM! I actually began to find a fix in Dreamweaver but was missing one part – the “… so when a line jumps up they don’t get all mushed together”.
Ok here is what I did in DW – I just have to implement your tip:
1. Create a new line break (hit the enter key)
2. In DW in the left hand margin where the code lines are numbered right click on the number for the new line you created and hold it until it highlights the whole darn (new) line.
3. Go into DW’s ‘find/replace’ function – and this new line should have already been pasted into your ‘find’ dialog box. The replace box had nothing in it.This removed all the ‘new lines’.
4. I then went back into ‘find/replace’ and said to find double space bar and replace with nothing.
It got it pretty good but I did notice on the front end of WordPress it did jam together a few words. I was wondering why…
Now, this is where I needed your knowledge aphill70. Ahhhh…. I think you are on to the rest of the solution here. ??
BIG FAT GRIN. This is going to my life easier for this project. WHEW.

In reply to: Transfering content from html site to WordPress – extra white spacesThe site is 167 static pages. ??
And they have all downloaded off the server with those excessive white spaces in the text (paragraphs, li, etc).
I did a ‘find’ for TWO white spaces (spacebar, spacebar) and the a ‘replace’ (no spaces) – and it gave me this in return:

All it did was line things up to the right.

In reply to: Transfering content from html site to WordPress – extra white spacesWell… I am taking the content I need from an html file, coping the actual code and pasting it into WordPress in HTML view (not visual view).
Ok let me show you what the code looks like when I copy it from the source mode in Dreamweaver (edited to say I even opened the file in Notepad and it is formatted the same way):
[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]
Note how the code is all indented (and I don’t mean with
<li>
I mean literally by white space)?
Of course, what you copy is what you paste – this is how it is pasting into the HTML view in WordPress – yielding the same exact looking text on the front end (ie the white space forced indents, line breaks etc).Is there a text editor or a way I can download this website’s html files and REMOVE all these white space breaks before I paste it into WordPress?

In reply to: CSS – my own theme, colums not side by side :)Problem fixed – Removing an instance of clear: both; in the #primary and now they are lining up fine.
Still stumped as to why the same CSS worked on a static lay out but not on the wordpress…. oh well ??

In reply to: CSS – my own theme, colums not side by side :)Also the div ‘CONTENT’ is floated left, and the size is not 992px:
#content {float:left; width:662px; border: 2px #B0CEE3 solid;background-color:#fff; margin:-15px 8px 0 28px; padding: 12px 6px 6px 6px; clear: both;}
The 992 pixel width is on the div ‘CONTAINER’.
