    Update: I adjusted the height of the original images to be identical. Now all thumbnails match.

    Activating any plugin gives me this error message. But it does seem that the plugin is activated.

    Anyone had any success in connecting with Open Salon? Anyone?

    Gary’s solution seems to have worked for me as well. I’m super grateful, because I didn’t want to spend Saturday with this!

    Thank you so much again, zoonini. Code was missing in the footer and misplaced in the header.

    My theme is fixed!

    Thank you so much, zoonini, the older code works for me after I tweaked it a bit:

    <p><select name=\"archive-dropdown\" onChange='document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
    <option value=\"\"><?php echo attribute_escape(__('Lunations by Title')); ?></option>
    <?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&format=option&show_post_count=0'); ?> </select></p>

    I’m having the same problem. Anyone out there with a solution?

    Thanks, esmi, but that line doesn’t appear at the top of my header.php file. I’d appreciate any further help you can give me.

    Here is the present code at

    You are not alone, believe me. I’ve tried every fix posted on the forums with no result.

    The visual editor is broken.

    The only time I see it these days is when:
    A. I visit one of the blogs that I luckily or wisely did not upgrade past 2.03. (I explained to a client today why her installation was stalled at 2.03 and then she was happy to leave it there.)
    B. I visit one of the blogs hosted on WordPress.com.

    Yeah, my visual editor was stubbornly missing in 2.5. I tried all the tips posted in the forum without relief. Hoped they’d fixed this massive problem in 2.6, but I see they’re still ignoring it.

    Thanks, Kafkaesqui!

    Well, I really thought I’d done that. Here’s the beginning of the current stylesheet. (The URL is https://mamafoundation.org/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/style.css)

    /* Begin Typography & Colors */
    body {
    font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
    font-family: ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
    background-color: #d5d6d7;
    color: #333;
    text-align: center;
    }

    h2 { font-size: 12px }

    You see I’ve marked H2 for 12px. But if you look at the site, the headlines are showing up at something like 24px!

    This is driving me nuts. Is it too early for a cocktail?
