@rangerpretzel: that program kicks serious butt. y’oughta tag that with “keeper”. much thanks!

this happened to me too. duh… (clearing old cookies fixed it)

ok well i made a lot of headway, but i’ve wound up with one hacked line, (also have upgraded to 2.6.3 from 2.5.1) in wp-admin/includes/media.php, line 1475 i believe:

original:
add_filter('media_upload_gallery', 'media_upload_gallery');

new:
add_filter('media_upload_gallery', 'media_upload_gallery_mod');

where media_gallery_upload_mod points to my functions that handle the new gallery forms + form handler.

i tried to use remove_filter('media_upload_gallery', 'media_upload_gallery') in my plugin file, but it didn’t kill it, so i was forced to revert to this hack.

so i’m hopeful that someone can clear up for me how i can more fully integrate this, without having to make any mods whatsoever to the WP core. i’ve got it down to one line… thanks in advance!

rebuilt theme, gonna close this thread. thanks all…

thank you, that’s a fine point. i definitely need to get those things out. but any lag from that check should only apply to users with IE, right? firefox has same slowness, and would ignore those lines as HTML comments, i’d think…

am i off-base to think that i can (somewhat easily) re-jig everything so that those IE7/6 sheets aren’t needed? they came with the theme before i dissected/rebuilt it, and i’ve always done everything possible to avoid using the IE conditionals. considering how awful it renders in IE6, i’ve obviously got to do some more work on the thing anyway… thanks again!

i had similar problems – 30-60 second load times, wondered if it had anything to do with hosting (godaddy), SQL db, or maybe the theme i was using, or maybe that wordpress isn’t closing DB connex… anyhow i was able to drop my average load time to 3 seconds(+/-) by removing GOOGLE ADS (and removing a link to an empty css file). some very good advice was found at PaulSpoerry.com relating to Firebug, an add-on for firefox. using the “Net” function you can see each & every request a page makes and how long it takes. my missing stylesheet took 19s (?) but google was taking 30s+ to deliver.

anyway your problems might be different than mine, but firebug will at least show all the requests your page makes, and that’s as good a place to start as any.
