hi, contentiskey;

well, I built this theme, so I’d feel comfy getting in there to make adjustments. I won’t try to pass as a seasoned WP pro, but I have some skills in this arena. it’s my first theme and I’ve had a number of knuckle-scraping learning experiences.

thank you for the information and suggestions!

Thank you for your generous help…I appreciate your responding at all…

That page 404s because I removed the content, but here is the answer to the problem…It was bamboozling bcs I had never seen this happen in this theme – my own – in all the time I’ve been working with it appx for 3 months.

But…there was a bit of code in, I believe archive.php, loading a 150 x 150px thumbnail!

I kid you not, I had never seen this bit of code, nor the behavior it produced, ever before, but thanks to a person in chat who suggested looking at archive.php for any bit of code that could be causing, I was able to locate and comment it out.

I have encountered a few things, like comments, which appear to be hard-coded into the various template files I’m using (based on another theme) which seem to overrule dashboard settings.

So, it’s good learning in one sense, but makes for upset stomach in another sense.

Thank you again for offering help and for following up with me!

none in draft or in trash..I checked twice to make sure. I don’t get why it worked previously and now it does not, but that category does use a different template page, which does not contain the if/else portion of what to do if no posts…

but unless somebody knocked me on the head with a club…

I sure don’t remember doing that level of change over the last few days..

I’ll try shutting off plugs to isolate. thank you!

I’m baffled as to how to get this to work..the settings seem pretty straightforward, but they don’t seem to actually do anything after I click them.

In your answer above you mention some code that can enable lightbox to work on a per-image basis..what is that code?

thank you!

Thank you..

this is my own theme which I built, and I *just* started seeing this behavior; never before last night.

What is the bit I need to look for and remove which inserts that thumbnail? Is it div class=”navigation” ? this seems to be happening in attachment view; otherwise, I do want the text which says Next and Previous, but that is for posts.

Thank you for any more you can tell me about this!

So sorry…dunno why I keep forgetting to included a link..

yeah, that’s about right. Since I accidentally deleted the uploads folder, there is not much TO tidy up. ??

However, now that I am having this learning experience, I want to re-set things up the right way.

Unless I hear different, I am going to re-upload the images (Which I uploaded via FTP) using the media library tool. Be interesting to see whether I end up with dupes or not..I suspect that I won’t, but if I do, the new question will be which dupe is deletable, or will I have to re-do things all over again; meaning, re-link.

I’m doing this in the editor in code, so..as long as the path is correct, I’d think I’d be ok..

I bet you had the same “uh-oh” feeling when you realized the implications…

For me, I accidentally deleted my uploads folder, then re-populated it manually. Short time later went into media library to do something and noticed, not the 10 images I just uploaded, but 3 broken picture icon.

I got this queasy feeling then vaguely remembered something like, Media library doesn’t “know” about images unless they are uploaded via the Media Library tools…

The theme in question is my own, so..that line will live in my style.css

but how would I write the 4-line plugin? That sounds like a thing good to know how to do!

thank you!

Thank you, Deepanker..that worked beautifully!

so, judging by the php line you provided, the search terms are not taken from the address field, but directly from the search input itself..

I am sorry..keep forgetting to give the link!

I am not a CSS expert but I am actively working very hard to improve my skill in CSS. Explanations like the one you provided about my question are very helpful to a guy like me trying to learn and understand more.

While I get that an id trumps a class, I don’t get why it formerly worked and now doesn’t..I don’t recall altering any of those nav selectors or declarations.

Thank you very much for looking at my code and offering that solution, jtleathers!

Yes, sorry for omitting it in the first place…

This is the site

I see that it works but not sure I get it endwhile is the end of while posts, but I don’t see the bit that delineates one post from another..

is that done implicitly, in other words each time the loop is run through, is a post (if there are posts)?

OK..I had an inkling my blog_post was simply roping in too much, but hesitant to tinker too much..I need to get over that.

So *my* <div class=”blog_post”> needs to:

1. open AFTER <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
and
2. Close after…my instinct is to close it after the endif statement to make sure that All blog-related output is contained/positioned by my blog_post

?

Going to try that to see..thank you, alchymyth!
