I did find out that if I view the source code for the elementor template I created and copy that generated HTML to the single event page under formatting, it displays that content. Sort of… It doesn’t pick up on all the CSS, but it gives me an idea of how I might be able to customize the layout.

For now, I think I will just make myself familiar with all the placeholders and conditionals so I can come up with creative ways to use them.

Patrick,
I am the web host Paul was referring to. Under settings –> formatting is the HTML code for all the various pages for events. If I were to create a template in Elementor that would have all the necessary placeholders but laid out as Paul requested, could I replace the HTML code with the shortcode given to that template? Would the page display the content of the shortcode correctly?

Update: Last night I completely deleted this account, then set it back up as a completely new account. I then created a brand new database, ftp’d a freshly downloaded copy of WordPress 3.4.2 and then installed it. Logged in to the dashboard. Tried to set the featured image in both a post and a page. *sigh*

POST https://www.salonoasis.biz/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 404 (Not Found) load-scripts.php:4
send load-scripts.php:4
f.extend.ajax load-scripts.php:4
f.(anonymous function) load-scripts.php:4
WPSetAsThumbnail load-scripts.php:6
onclick media-upload.php:156

Tried to set featured image. Chrome’s firebug shows:

POST https://www.salonoasis.biz/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php 404 (Not Found) load-scripts.php:4
send load-scripts.php:4
f.extend.ajax load-scripts.php:4

WPSetAsThumbnail load-scripts.php:6

And it hangs on saving.

Done.

Theme twenty-eleven has been activated and ALL plugins deactivated.

salonoasis.biz

Yes. For this domain I am webhost, webmaster and one of two administrators. I have tried ALL suggestions. The database checks okay with both wp-optimize and from the CPanel MySQL Admin / phpmyadmin.

I have WordPress 3.4.2 installed on at least eight other domains on the same server, several with the same skeletal base theme. In ALL other cases, I can set the post thumbnail and it will save properly. On THIS SITE ONLY, when I attempt to set the post thumbnail, it hangs on saving.

This is why I am so incredibly frustrated!

I just uninstalled the NextGen Gallery and optimized the database. I still get the same 404 error referencing set-post-thumbnail.js as shown above. Does that still mean that it’s the plugin causing the problem?

Even though I disabled that plugin and STILL couldn’t set the post thumbnail? I will, if you insist, but I really don’t think the problem is the plugin. The problem is somewhere in the admin-ajax.php function calls.

Yes, I was trying to set the image from a NextGen gallery. Here is the block of code throwing the 404 when trying to set the image from the Media Library:

function WPSetAsThumbnail(c,b){var a=jQuery("a#wp-post-thumbnail-"+c);a.text(setPostThumbnailL10n.saving);jQuery.post(ajaxurl,{action:"set-post-thumbnail",post_id:post_id,thumbnail_id:c,_ajax_nonce:b,cookie:encodeURIComponent(document.cookie)},function(e){var d=window.dialogArguments||opener||parent||top;a.text(setPostThumbnailL10n.setThumbnail);if(e=="0"){alert(setPostThumbnailL10n.error)}else{jQuery("a.wp-post-thumbnail").show();a.text(setPostThumbnailL10n.done);a.fadeOut(2000);d.WPSetThumbnailID(c);d.WPSetThumbnailHTML(e)}})};

And when I try to upload an image and set as thumbnail:

function WPSetAsThumbnail(c,b){var a=jQuery("a#wp-post-thumbnail-"+c);a.text(setPostThumbnailL10n.saving);jQuery.post(ajaxurl,{action:"set-post-thumbnail",post_id:post_id,thumbnail_id:c,_ajax_nonce:b,cookie:encodeURIComponent(document.cookie)},function(e){var d=window.dialogArguments||opener||parent||top;a.text(setPostThumbnailL10n.setThumbnail);if(e=="0"){alert(setPostThumbnailL10n.error)}else{jQuery("a.wp-post-thumbnail").show();a.text(setPostThumbnailL10n.done);a.fadeOut(2000);d.WPSetThumbnailID(c);d.WPSetThumbnailHTML(e)}})};

Actually, my client and I are the only users and we are both administrators. This site is being used as a CMS only. Sorry! I wish that would help!

I apologize for my rather glib reply above. I started thinking about what you said and went back to my theme. I had enabled theme support in my functions file, however, I hadn’t included the code in the loop to display the thumbnail in the post if one had been set. However, when I went back to the dashboard and tried to set a thumbnail, I still got a 404 on media-upload.php:116. When I clicked on the link to that part in Chrome’s firbug window I got this code snippet:

jQuery.post(ajaxurl, {
			action:"ngg_set_post_thumbnail", post_id: post_id, thumbnail_id: id, cookie: encodeURIComponent(document.cookie)
		}, function(str){
			var win = window.dialogArguments || opener || parent || top;
			$link.text( setPostThumbnailL10n.setThumbnail );
			if ( str == '0' ) {
				alert( setPostThumbnailL10n.error );
			} else {
				jQuery('a.ngg-post-thumbnail').show();
				$link.text( setPostThumbnailL10n.done );
				$link.fadeOut( 2000 );
				// set some id as meta input filed
				win.WPSetThumbnailID('ngg-' + id);
				// replace the meta box with the image
				win.WPSetThumbnailHTML(str);
			}
		}
		);

What am I missing?

Item Three above. I switched to the Twenty-Eleven theme to make sure and still had the problem. The theme is a custom theme that I created myself and built on a skeleton of my own design for me to build client themes on.

This skeleton is used with at least three other sites that do NOT have this problem.

nielsfogt, can you explain how you ran that?
