My issue, I suspect, is a theme problem: the navigation bar only appears when viewing the slideshow in its post’s own page. The navigation bar does not appear in the slideshow on the home page. Any suggestions?
WordPress: 2.8.4
NextGEN Gallery: 1.3.6
Image Rotator: 3.17
Sliding Door: 1.7.1 (theme)
*** SOLVED ***
The culprit was a feature of the “Holy Scripturizer” plugin that creates a “Show/Hide” link within the post, after the reference, which can display the passage within the text of the post. After disabling only that feature, the page loads as expected.
Thank you very much for your help, Scribblerguy! The ease of administering WordPress made recovery a breeze, and I appreciate the simplicity of the software.
The site returned after I turned off the pretty permalinks, switched to the classic theme, and turned off all of the plugins. I’ll now try to return things, one by one, to see what breaks it.
