Just did a complete re-install of the latest version of WordPress and no changes. Still can’t access the site.

Anyone else have a next step for me in this troubleshoot?

It actually happened to them while on the phone and they just gave me a link to an article, but it was not helpful.

When I try to reach the site on Chrome it doesn’t seem to do it to me anymore though… Not sure why, or if cache is involved… I’m not great at this. ??

This is where they sent me…

Gah! Well, there it is. That’s not very intuitive to me, but what do I know. I just use image editing software all day. ??

Here’s the other issue that arises. It generates a whole new thumbnail image file, so I have to go back and edit my post to display the new file name… which is long as hell.

I guess you can’t have everything.

THANKS for your help. L D.

Anyone? I’m assuming this is not a common problem since no one has responded.

You can see my issue in this screen shot.

@alchymyth:

Awesome, thanks! It also seems to work in Safari.

Hmmm… Where would I add this code, flamenco?

@alchymyth:
Do you have any ideas that might be better? I would love to know what I could do to hide the second line instead of showing the second, actually.

I hope a bump is OK.. Anyone have thoughts on my question?

Thanks Neorackle…

One more question about this though… I actually don’t want to remove them entirely, but would like to adjust the height of whatever is cutting the second line of tags so that it looks kinda messy. I have an author who loves lots of tags.

If I remove them from the index page, but leave them in the single pages, will that effect SEO much?

Look here… It does it in Safari and Firefox on my Mac., although slightly differently.

Thanks for everyone’s help.

Well, I have figured it out! It actually was the flickrrss tag I had in the sidebar. I found out when I just found another three column theme and activated it. Then I started adding the custom stuff to the sidebar and when I added the flickrrss section it messed up that theme too, so I went back to my original theme and deleted the flickrss and all is well.

Now I just have to figure out how to get that functionality back to the site since so many people like it.

Here is what I was using.

Well, both the current version of index.php and the original that came with the theme are the same and neither has any code about sidebars,. I do have a separate sidebar.php file though. Should I post the code to one or both of those here?

I have. So does any of this make sense to anyone? Is there some explanation as to what may have happened? Is it likely that my missing sidebars are a database problem?

One other great piece of info I just found out. I was reading through the instructions on upgrading WordPress and went over to my control panel at Dreamhost to backup the database. It seems that I can’t get into phpMyAdmin as it gives me a “couldn’t find the server” error. I’m afraid to mess around with it anymore. It has a restore button, but I don’t know what that does.

Also, three new posts have been made since the sidebars disappeared and all other content seems to be perfectly intact. Sorry if I sound like I don’t know what I’m doing, but… I don’t know what I’m doing. ??
