seems like I managed to fix it.

I went through everything listed here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

even though the URL seemed to be entered everywhere the correct way, entering the appropriate lines to wp-congif and logging in and out through wp-login.php seemed to make everything function normally.

bump, any other ideas?

I looked through other themes, and found the alignments missing in mine (below), this seemed to correct it. I didn’t realize it before as I was only looking for something directly under parts with “img” 🙂

.aligncenter,
		div.aligncenter {
		display: block;
		margin-left: auto;
		margin-right: auto;
		}

	.alignleft {
		float: left;
		}

	.alignright {
		float: right;
		}

I tried that earlier, but it causes ALL images to align left despite what alignment I choose for them individually.

this way, even if I have class="alignnone" in the image attributes, it looks like this: http://i29.tinypic.com/2d8qn1v.jpg

the text is forced to the right side of the image even though its entered below it. How would I be able to choose whether the text is below the image or next to it?

thanks for the ideas, but neither one seems to work at least set up like that, it seems to show the author name even if its admin.

unfortunately I don’t have enough knowledge over php to know whats wrong with it, any ideas?

bump

any thoughts on how to exclude a certain author name from showing up while others will show regularly?

would I be able to use something like this in sidebar.php?

<?php

if (is_page('index.php')){
	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/sidebar-index.php'); ?>
}

elseif (is_page('single.php')){
	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/sidebar-single.php'); ?>
}

else {
	<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/sidebar.php'); ?>
}
?>

that did the trick, thanks!
