    This solved it for me: A simple change to httpd.conf:

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4675429/getting-wordpress-permalinks-working-on-a-mamp-install

    And in MAMP 3, you just pull down the File Menu to File Templates. httpd.conf is under apache.

    I’m having the same problem and also can’t add new categories to posts. Yes, it would appear to be a script conflict. I’ve updated all plugins but still no go.
    To reiterate: When I click on ADD MEDIA button in a new post window, nothing happens. I can add media to the library via Media: Add New from the left menu. But then have to manually add that media to a post. Which of course sucks.
    This is a new problem, since upgrade to V 4.0.

    OK, so I upgraded PHP to 5.3 and that error went away.

    But now I get another fatal error on activation. Error notes below.

    Some conflict with NextGen Gallery? Both using simplehtmldom?

    How to work around? THANKS!

    Ah, I think I see. Need to update PHP.

    I am having this problem at:
    http://artisanstour.org/

    It’s only showing the first 11 (eleven) posts, which leave three hidden on the homepage.

    I MAY have fixed this:
    The shortcodes I was using (from the generator) had duplicates of some variables:
    addmarkermashup=”true” addmarkermashupbubble=”true” addmarkermashupbubble=”true”

    Deleting the duplicates APPEARS to have solved it. For now anyway.

    hope this helps,

    I agree that it’s their own fault. But when it happens repeatedly (and believe me, it does), can’t those who designed the system take another look?

    I am also well aware that if you make things idiot-proof, the Flying Spaghetti Monster just creates a better idiot.

    Also, the http:// that’s already there is also pre-selected. So if someone starts typing or pastes a URL without first clicking at the end of it, the http:// is wiped out.

    And yes, other protocols would have to be taken care of but that should also be easy.

    I don’t know enough PHP to try to write a plugin to do this but for me it would be something like:

    When someone tries to insert a link:
    a. check if the link contains a top-level domain: .com, .org, .net
    b. if it does, ensure that it also contains a protocol
    c. if a but not b, prompt the user that they should add this unless it’s REALLY a local, relative link

    I’m open to the idea that this may be a stupid idea. But I’ve seen this mistake so often (twice today on different sites) that I can’t help thinking we can help people with a little code.

    Thanks for your time,
    Jim

    I’m not at all sure if this will fix it but a good bit of housekeeping to do when WP acts up is: optimize and/or repair your database tables.

    You can do it manually with PHPmyAdmin or use a plugin like:

    In reply to: Atlantica Theme, Disabled Gallery on Home Page, yet jCarousel Coming Up
    jimmerd

    So in the header.php, did you remove/modify the following:

    <div class="gallery">
<ul id="mycarousel" class="jcarousel-skin-atlantica">

<? $lrgslider = get_page_by_title('lrg-slider');
echo apply_filters('the_content', $lrgslider->post_content); ?>

</ul></div>

    Removing the UL and all within it should delete the gallery from the homepage and not call any javascript.

    Is there a link where we can see what you’ve got?

    Do you mean Twenty Eleven?
    If so, content width is set in the functions.php file, line 45:
    $content_width = 584;

    And I feel the need to give the usual recommendation that it’s best to make a child theme for Twenty Eleven. This prevents problems when the parent theme is upgraded.

    I’m frankly not sure if editing the content_width line is a good idea. Worth a try. BUT best to do in child theme. There are many tutorials on making child themes. It’s best practice.

    There are plugins that will resize thumbnails, either all or one by one.

    And wp-config.php?
    Pare that down to bare bones:

    a. backup existing one.

    b. Open wp-config-sample.php

    c. copy and paste from backup the crucial lines only: host, dbname, user, password

    d. upload that and try again

    Also, it occurs to me that you said you tried to restore using phpmyadmin. I wonder if you did some damage there. Maybe need to go back a bit and check that you don’t have something out of whack in the database.

    If you have daily database backups, can you go back to before all this mess?

    And I’m about to sign off for the day (US, east coast) but will check in a couple times tonight.

    Your data lives in two places:
    The database (which is the daily backup)
    The wp-contents folder (which you should keep a backup of, it contains uploads, as well as themes and plugins)
    You don’t want to delete or modify the database or wp-contents in a way that can’t be reversed.
    But you can and should activate a “default” theme. TEMPORARILY, to figure out if something in the theme is causing the problem.

    And while I’m at it, I’ll ask: is wp-contents/uploads/ backed up? It should be. In fact, make a backup of wp-contents and wp-config.php

    And the theme?

    I know you hate the default theme. I offer it only as a way to eliminate what’s causing problems.
