Okie Dokie.

The above suggestion worked. I commented out do_action('admin_footer', ''); in wp-admin/admin-footer and it fixed the problem.

thank you very much.

I am not sure but this seems like a “bug” to me, since I have to alter the “core”. I don’t really know how to report to the WordPress devs. If anyone know please tell me. Thanks.

And I wanted to say, “Thank You Very Much” again, since this was a difficult problem to solve.

DosDoodles,
If you can modify the CSS file try this.

Find .SCS img {}

If you want every image to float left write:

.SCS img {
float: left;
}

If you want to use the align left button in the image uploader try:

.SCS img.alignleft {
float: left;
}

or

.SCS a img.alignleft {
float: left;
}

It may take a little trial and error to get it right.

I recommend writing comments as you do this so you remember what you have done and so you can get back to the original if you create problems.

In theory when you use a theme you should not have to do stuff like this.

I have looked at the html and css again and my theory is that your theme has not written css for images with captions to “align left” e.g. wrap text with the image on the left. (I could be wrong…)

I would do 2 things to test this.

1) make a new post and add an image WITHOUT adding a caption. Make sure that you add the image at the beginning of the text.

2) Change your theme to the default theme, which should be TwentyTen and see if the text is wrapping properly

Then I would contact the theme developer and describe the problem.

By the way, in most instances the “left align” button in the image uploader works well.

Yes. You should change the database name in the wp-config file and see if it works.

But, as I said, keep a copy of your present wp-config file so you have a backup.

There may be someone who can answer this better than me with more experience with big sites but I would start troubleshooting by going through the templates and analyzing which functions are querying the database and see you can optimize them.

Are you on a shared server? Can you increase the memory of your mySql server?

If you are using pretty permalinks, e.g. /%postname%/ or /%category%/%postname%/ and have a lot of posts on your site this can cause too many queries.

Read this. It is a good explanation.

One solution is to add some text before /%category%/%postname%/ like /!/%category%/%postname%/ or any other text.

I also use the Debug Bar plugin to analyze the number of queries. You need to change your wp-config file to read:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
	define('SAVEQUERIES', true);

for the Debug Bar to work. (change it back after debugging).

Are you editing files or are you using the wordpress UI. I assume you are editing files, given the code you are quoting above.

I don’t know the theme you are using but I suspect that the file you are editing for the menu is header.php.

So I am guessing because I am not totally sure of how your theme is set up. But here goes. This is what you should write:

<li id="nav-06"><a href="<?bloginfo('url')?>/photo-gallery">Photo Gallery</a></li>
<ul><? wp_list_pages('title_li=&child_of=[page_id_for_photo_gallery]&depth=-1')?></ul>

You can find the Page ID for the Photo Gallery by clicking on Page in the WordPress Admin. And then place your cursor over the Photo Gallery in the list of Pages and you will see in your browser status bar something like:
http://www.domainname.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=2&action=edit
In the example the above the Page Id is “2”.

I hope this makes sense.

—————-
A couple of notes though.

1) You could easily fine the Page ID programatically but since you are hard coding the page id’s I did not go in that direction.

2) I have a feeling that the theme you are using is old because since WP 3.0 you can make custom menus, which are much easier to implement for developers are programmers alike, than what you are doing. You might look into upgrading your theme so that you can use custom menus in the future. There are many tutorials online on how to implement them.

hope this helps,

And another bit of info. The Admin Bar does not appear on the edit.php pages either. It appears on all other pages in the WordPress Dashboard.
