In reply to: [Minamaze] How can I force a size onto the featured images?Yes, manfredj, exactly. My situation, too. But, alas, I see no response from anyone (others, admins, theme developers) after five months. Okay, then. Moving right along………….

In reply to: Oops – Page Not FoundWell, this is all starting to make some sense. I used ojrice’s suggestion above, found the offending script in an older version of “WordPress Database Backup v7.9.1” (the plug-in developer site itself no longer exists!), deactivated JUST that plugin, and voila! All better.
Goofiness indeed. Thanks to all who participated in tracking this down and finding a solution. Hopefully one that works for everybody. Cheers!

In reply to: Oops – Page Not FoundWell, isn’t this interesting! I turned off ALL plug-ins, and my site magically came back to life without the errant “OOPS” crap at the top of the header. SO, turning them on, one-by-one and rechecking, I appear to have discovered that (at least in my particular instance) it was Akismet that was at fault. Which makes no sense whatsoever, since prior to Tuesday it worked fine, and has done for years!
I will revisit this idiotic GoDaddy scenario tomorrow. Goofy!

In reply to: Oops – Page Not FoundEchoing ‘blareca’ (and GoDaddy), I just received the following from GoDaddy:
Thank you for contacting Online Support. I understand you have an issue with your WordPress site getting page not found. It appears that one of your WordPress plugins is causing the error. When we disabled your site’s plugins, the site resolved with no error. You will want to deactivate the plugins one by one to see which particular plugin is causing the error. It may simply be that the plugin in question needs to be updated to a more recent version, or you may need to troubleshoot the cause of the issue with the plugin through the vendor.
Still seems like an odd issue to me, especially since it appears to only affect GoDaddy served websites. I will go through my plugins later today when I have some free time and report back as to what I discover.

In reply to: "Oops!!! Page Not Found" BoxMany thanks for that response, Ronald. But you’re right – strange bug. Is it perhaps a conflict between a plug-in(s) and the latest version of WP…? It appears that the issue only affects GoDaddy servers, too, unless someone feels like correcting me on that issue – perhaps there are others.
Also, why would this ‘suddenly’ come up? I was in the back-end of my site a week ago and it was fine. Then yesterday I noticed the header “OOPS” issue. So, I hadn’t been inside the site when it occurred, and I haven’t updated any of my plug-ins in some time – no need to.
I’ll definitely look at that though and report back later. I’ve heard nothing from GoDaddy yet.

In reply to: "Oops!!! Page Not Found" BoxIt’s all over the place, apparently – my site too:
And as near as I can tell (and from others similarly afflicted) GoDaddy only. No response from them at all, yet.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Upgrade from old to new – theme & database issuesSuccess! Well, the old-fashioned way at least. I made the upgrade path trek from 2.0.4 to 3.2.1 incrementally. One by one until I reached 2.7 and then did the automatic upgrade to 3.2.1. Everything rocks, and is solid.
A nail-biter, to be sure — these things have a tendency to go sideways sometimes — but my website and I emerged unscathed.
Thanks to everyone who ‘weighed-in’ on my predicament. Your advice was much appreciated. Cheers!

In reply to: Upgrade from old to new – theme & database issuesThanks Sam – I appreciate this. And yes, I was afraid someone would say that. However, I will try it my way and failing that, brew a large pot of coffee. Cheers!
