Yeah, I don’t even recall upgrading this because I was happy with old one. Then I fire up the blog today and WUT?? This ugly black screen with the new login is here and I have no idea how to get it back to where it was, and now I have to spend time in my morning to fix a dumb login screen?? Ugh. If anyone knows where I can download the old one, I’d be happy with that. I don’t want a full page image. I want my old images back that were overwritten. Sheesh.

i can understand that. its why i keep different blogs with different looks to them. different aspects given different rooms in which to play. i bet you’re an organizer, a compartmentalizer. collector?

by the way, here’s mine. i see you have oregon blogs listed. believe it or not, this is an oregon-based blog. (at least that’s where i live right now).

So, just let me know if you are showing incoming trackbacks since upgrading to 2.6. Yes or No is fine. Just need to compare. Thanks.

Perhaps optimistically, I hold out hope that this will be addressed. But for now, unfortunately, if it’s a choice between my ease of use and the design of the post, well. I’m an artist! I have to choose the latter. Glad I could help.

Feel free to answer in the affirmative or negative, people. I know at least one of you has upgraded to 2.6.

Just code the whole image by hand. it sucks, but its the only path they’ve left us.

Go to “HTML” view and code something like

<img src="URL FOR JPG,etc" align="left" hspace="9" vspace="2" border="0" />

Still works for me, and shows up properlike in feedreaders!

Well…I use image align left and right ALL over! And it has always worked in feeds. Feedburner specifically offers feeds that you can style. And I think they have enough experience in feeds to do so without being “behind web standards” and such. Perhaps the tag is deprecated. but where? Just in WP? WP is not the web. Even new browsers allow most old tags because nobody expects “the web” to just catch up all at once and right away. If WP is going to suddenly introduce new tags…shouldn’t they be a bit more careful about how this is going to affect everyone?

Note, Otto42, this is not an attack on you, it is just a question aimed at WP.

Anyway, what is the solution you are offering? Nothing? You are in essence saying, too bad, right?

Well guess what, I’m still going to use align=”left”! etc. It works in WP if you handcode it, and it also will show in feeds the way you designed it. As it should.

PS, internal pingbacks work fine.

oddly, otto, it works now. maybe everything needed a chance to…congeal. thanks. ??

to others, I just went to the new default theme css and copied the “captions” part and the image aligning part.

That didnt work for me, either, otto. I added that css code directly to my stylesheet, and while everything looks fine in the “Visual” mode, as soon as I ‘Preview this Post’ it pops up in my style and there is no border, no caption, and no float/align behavior of the image. I have to go in each time to HTML and use ‘ align=”left” ‘ etc.

I’m sure I’m just missing something, but not enough of a PHP person to know what it is. I’ve been banging style sheets around for years, but have no idea what to do past adding the classes to my css which I did.

If you need more info, let me know. Blog here.

oh well thanks anyway! i go ta response from another area, think its fixed now.

tho it might be related directly to the tweak that the designcanopy did on it for me, and maybe only he can figure it out. …hmmm.

well, looks like you gave me the clues that solved it, once i followed up.

once i viewed the source, i noticed on each line, there was code thrown in by the “ClickQuote” plugin i use (allows people to just click a paragraph to enclose that text in blockquote tags in the comment reply box on that post’s page). that was the “class” tags and such on each line.

it occurred to me that code might be messing with my code, with all that inserting class tags. so i deactivated it.

voila. the blockquote styling works.

so there it is for anyone else having that problem. check to see if you are using the Clickquotes plugin!

weird. if i look in my code editor, i see nothing awry. no extra tags.

but if i view the page in Firefox and select the blockquote area and then View Selection Source, i see what you mean. the hidden end blockquote tag. and the p tags. but those are not there when you look in the code editor.

eh. this is going to be challenging, i can tell. ah well, back at it. thanks for the clues!

hmmm. thanks for the help, my friend. by “code editor” i am assuming you mean the “code” part of the window (second tab), so i’ll try that. i did try that, but maybe i messed it up.

remove p tags and look for a first graf closing “blockquote” tag. let you know. thanks.
