Here’s another version of the site in a staging environment. All plugins and the theme itself are updated to the most recent versions.

https://devonline.staging.wpengine.com/

I think the problem has to do with two jquery installs … still trying to figure out what to do about that …

Our host is WP Engine. They have a cool staging feature that lets you make a copy of the site and do all sorts of things like that. On our staging version, I swapped in the new theme and it did not help one bit.

Thanks for your input

Issue resolved. There was an extra quote in a css rule

Hmmm … most of the validation errors have been cleared up and it still doesn’t display correctly … this is a weird one …

I’m reading this now: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18549726/element-link-is-missing-required-attribute-property

Hello. Yes. I noticed that as well … at some point this happened and I don’t recall doing anything that could have caused that. I’m not too good at debugging these wordpress sites, any idea where I can turn to figure this out? Any articles I could read would be helpful … I literally have no idea what to look for.

I see it’s having trouble with some lists I have in these popup modals (it’s a plugin) … but when I examine the code in those lists, it all appears to be right. Dreamweaver is good about getting your attention with different colors and such when there is a an html or css syntax error, and I don’t see anything like that in the code I’ve pasted in.

A lot of the validations errors appear to have to do with the slider which is built in to the theme. I don’t even know what to do about all of that. Aren’t hacks the norm in extreme CSS endeavors like that?

On this one, it wasn’t necessary to use that first line (query_posts) at all. You can tell wordpress to do what I need from within array() object. In the following code, the line:

'post_type' => 'post'

Was changed to:

'category_name' => 'world-dryer-events'

Here’s the whole loop revised:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) :
            while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
                $paged = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;
                    $args = array('
                        offset'=> 0,
                        'paged'=>$paged,
                        'posts_per_page' => get_option('posts_per_page'),
                        'post_type' => 'post'
                        );
                    $all_posts = new WP_Query($args);
                    while($all_posts->have_posts()) : $all_posts->the_post(); ?>

                    <?php
                    /* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
                     * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
                     * called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
                     */
                    $format = get_post_format();
                    if( false === $format )  $format = 'standard';
                    get_template_part( 'postformats/'.$format, 'medium' );

                    ?>

                    <?php endwhile;
            endwhile; ?>

SO, the problem ended up being that I was attempting to use the dynamic image location method (which contains PHP) from with the editor’s window.

I gather you cannot use PHP in the editor Window? Maybe that’s why the dynamic image linking method will not work. I keep trying to use it in the Editor WYSIWYG window.

How can I dynamically link images when they are inserted via the editors window?

thanks

I ran

echo bloginfo('template_url');

That tells my my template URL is: https://sterling-testing.com/wp-content/themes/Astrum

However most of my images were uploaded by wordpress to this URL: /public_html/wp-content/uploads/2013/10

SO in order to use the images at the first URL, one would think all I would need to do would be to upload all my images into the first directory, right? Still didn’t work when using:

<a href="#"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/logos-arcat.gif" class="float-left home-logo-pad" alt="ARCAT" width="164" height="163"></a>

Anybody know what’s happening here? Seems freaky to me, but then again, I’m fairly new to the world of wordpress.

Maybe some of the trouble is because I am inserting this code into the page editor window? I don’t know … I noticed it freaks out on characters like the Greater than Symbol … even though I used the entity …

Thanks:
Scott

Nothing was happening on the other one. This is very important, so, in this one I’m asking for other information that I didn’t request in the first post. It would be better to continue with this post. It more accurately describes my dilemma.

Should I delete the other one?

Thanks.

I’m the same poster. This one asks for some PHP to determine where to set my dynamic links to. Thanks.

Hello. Thanks. I see where you are going with this. The images folder is usually always right next to the css directory. For some reason it didn’t work.

Here’s what i tried:

<a href="#"><img src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri() ?>/images/logos-arcat.gif" class="float-left home-logo-pad" alt="ARCAT" width="164" height="163" /></a>

I wonder if part of the problem is that I can’t vouch for the WP install this place did before I got here. It looks like it was all installed directly inside the servers “public_html” folder. It’s not in any subfolders. Is WP anticipating another level in the root directory?

Also, is there a way to echo out what my images directory is? I wonder if I just have a weird images path on this one. I really can’t seem to figure out why no dynamic images will show on this one when I’ve had this process work so well in the past.
