Aha!!! ??

Okay, I think I have a better clue. Try zooming the page larger and smaller (Ctrl +, Ctrl -) I do see some overlap when I zoom text size up, but when it’s almost too small for me to read, there’s no overlap. I guess I’m so used to this kind of annoyance I hardly think about it. Most people are okay with frackin 6-pixel fonts, and like to design things that make my eyes hurt ??

Right, you still have to change that manually. The reset script should have made that possible now.

I haven’t seen the overlapping text thing, but I suspect it could be due to the theme you are using, especially since you tried multiple browsers. Try temporarily changing your theme.

WOOHOOOOO!It worked. There was one glitchy moment afterwards when I tried to go to Gallery Settings and got a “don’t have permissions” message, but I tried “Other Options” and was in. Now it’s all fine.

What a relief. Those backups are a monster buttpain. It’s too bad there isn’t a handier way to get rid of them. I can see where they might sometimes be useful. Godnose too many people don’t keep good backups on their own and don’t know enough about image editing. But…well, it’s over. Thanks again for the help.

Okay, thanks. I thought it was probably site-specific, but wondered if there was some common cause/solution. I’ll try the reset, and post results. Xfingers.

Thing is, it’s not my site. The owner is a busy fellow who wants a lot of pics but has little experience with maintenance (or with WP and its plugins, lol). I had to do some major byte-pruning last week, after he maxed out. That’s when I found out I couldn’t turn off the backups. 0.0 It just seems weird that one option is unchangeable. Everything else is working fine.

Please read my post before assuming that I don’t know what I’m doing. I said the option can’t be changed. That means, when I click on “No” NOTHING HAPPENS. It will not change.

If I were amazed at that, I wouldn’t know enough to mess around with it.

Let’s just close the thread, sorry I asked.

Well, I been there and done all that already, to no avail. Thing is, everything works BUT the new themes. I think it’s likely the PHP, but I hoped there might be something I could do. Besides reverting to an older theme base, which is what I am going to do. It all works fine with the old theme.
