Have you tried:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
TY for responding!
Yes, have deactivated plugins and then reactivated them
I do not know what the Twenty Ten theme is . . . ?
I am not sure what you mean by resetting the plugins folder.
My dashboard no longer even shows the instructions for adding a thumbnail . . . and I realized since posting that TimThumb is no longer listed as a plug-in – and shows as being incompatible with updated WP versions. I am wondering if this plug-in is how I was acquiring thumbnail permissions to begin with.
However, I assume since the News theme includes thumbnail options on the front page, that there has to be some other way to include them, other than using a plug-in. ????
I am a writer, not a coder – so be gentle, lol. TY!
The twentyten theme – dashboard, appearance, themes and temporarily activate to rule out theme problems but,
the coding I used to insert thumbnails, etc. is not visible on my dashboard.
Do you mean the upload/insert image icons in add new post? When you insert the image with wp you can choose thumbnail size. You don’t need a plugin.
