glad you got things working out

oops, I forgot to specificially mention that thumbnail_size should be the name of the thumbnail size you’re using (I think the default is ‘post-thumbnail’?) – did you try swapping that out?

Here is where the the_post_thumbnail() function is defined, you might be able to follow the trail: https://phpxref.com/xref/wordpress/wp-includes/post-thumbnail-template.php.source.html#l40

Maybe this then?

<?php $thumb = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'thumbnail_size' );
$url = $thumb['0']; ?>

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_image_src

Here’s a zipped copy of my modified version: https://cl.ly/2Qxp

Obviously, you’ll want to take into account any customization…

My index.php page looks like this:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Index
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

		<!-- Maincontent start -->
		<div id="maincontent">
			<h2>Posts</h2>

<?php query_posts("showposts=10&paged=$paged");  while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
			<div class="post">
				<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent lenke til: <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
				<div class="date"><?php the_date(); ?> <?php the_time(); ?></div>
				<?php the_content(''); ?>
				<div class="postmeta">
					<span class="left"><?php if (function_exists('the_tags')) the_tags('Tags: '); ?></span>
					<span class="right"><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments', 'comments'); ?></span>
				</div>
			</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
	<?php // if (is_paged()) : ?>
				<div id="pagination" class="clear">
					<span class="left" ><?php posts_nav_link(' ','&laquo; Back',' ') ?></span>
					<span class="right" ><?php posts_nav_link(' ',' ','More &raquo;') ?></span>
				</div>
	<?php // endif; ?>

		</div>
		<!-- Maincontent end -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

I think the main change was commenting out the is_paged() check

<?php // if (is_paged()) : ?>
				<div id="pagination" class="clear">
					<span class="left" ><?php posts_nav_link(' ','&laquo; Back',' ') ?></span>
					<span class="right" ><?php posts_nav_link(' ',' ','More &raquo;') ?></span>
				</div>
	<?php // endif; ?>

Sorry, I think I was up too late trying to answer questions… ??

Maybe this:

function twentyten_posted_on() {
	printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s <span class="meta-sep">by</span> %3$s', 'twentyten' ),
		'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
		sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><span class="entry-date">%3$s</span></a>',
			get_permalink(),
			esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
			get_the_date()
		),
		sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s">%3$s</a></span>',
			get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ),
			sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ),
			get_the_author_meta('first_name')
		)
	);
}

If that doesn’t work, my guess would be that the author-related functions aren’t getting the author ID to work with… I might find a way to pass it the id

function twentyten_posted_on( $id ) {
	printf( __( '<span class="%1$s">Posted on</span> %2$s <span class="meta-sep">by</span> %3$s', 'twentyten' ),
		'meta-prep meta-prep-author',
		sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><span class="entry-date">%3$s</span></a>',
			get_permalink(),
			esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
			get_the_date()
		),
		sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s">%3$s</a></span>',
			get_author_posts_url( $id ),
			sprintf( esc_attr__( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentyten' ), get_the_author() ),
			get_the_author_meta('first_name', $id)
		)
	);
}

and when the function is called,
twentyten_posted_on( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) );

glad to hear it!

mind setting this topic to resolved? thanks

glad to hear you got things working

If you can figure out why my method wasn’t working, I’d be interested to know what the reason was…

Hmmm… I was able to tweak that file via Firebug and change the background color, font color and family. Perhaps your browser was caching the styles?

Here’s a copy of my Firebug-ged stylesheet: https://cl.ly/2QOx

try adding this to your stylesheet:
img { display:block; }

I think that’ll fix the problem you’re describing, though you may have to make some other changes to compensate for the display change…

There are several plugins to help with tweeting your posts, like https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-to-twitter/

I haven’t imported a blog to Facebook in a while, but these instructions look right: https://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_import_my_blog_entries_or_rss_feed_into_facebook.html

I think what you want is something like this:

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mynewdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

You can learn more here: https://www.gnc-web-creations.com/301-redirect.htm

the basic idea would be to add something like this to your stylesheet:

#content {
    font-size:14px;
    color:green;
}

obviously, change the values to suit your needs, and the selector (#content) as needed to target the right part of your page.

If the trouble is targeting one page over another, change (or add to) the <body> tag so it looks like this <body <?php body_class(); ?>>. This will add some page-specific classes so you can do things like:

.home #content {}

I haven’t tested this, but you might be able to use this (or something like it…):

$url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID) );
<img src="<?php echo $url; ?>" longdesc="URL_2" alt="Text_2" />

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/get_post_thumbnail_id
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_url

Is

if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
the_post_thumbnail( 'helio_slider', array('class' => 'slidimg') );
}

being called within the loop?

If not, try this:

if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ) {
echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'helio_slider', array('class' => 'slidimg') );
}

Just some ideas…
Since you reinstalled WordPress, I presume the core files are fine. That leaves me with these 2 questions:

* have you double-checked the template files?
* have you’ve looked through the database tables to make sure they’re okay?
