Problem is finally fixed. Not quite sure what I did, but I was googling various options, and someone suggested I clear my cache, close out and come back in. Once I did that AND I re-copied my visual editor plugins from my development subdirectory into the root (since I had corruption problems doing this with Filezilla), all was back to normal. Thank you everyone.

Problem solved. Since there were corruption problems when I migrated my files using Filezilla, I decided to copy the files for this particular plugin from my development site subdirectory to my root directory within my Control Panel. That fixed everything. Thanks to my web host support for walking me through how to do this.

Sorry. Maybe I’m getting my plugins confused. I have the Black Studio TinyMCE Widget and the TinyMCE Advanced plugins. But I am having the same problem with the widget plugin on my home page widget that I am having with the other plugin on my pages. Both provide the visual editor with familiar formatting icons — and all of those are gone on both editors.

My site has already moved, so I don’t really know how to use the FAW about URL change/site migration. How can I undo what went wrong when I don’t know what went wrong!

I DID use the Better Search Replace plugin, as recommended by WordPress. Was that a mistake. How can I undo or fix?

I wanted to let you know that I decided to see if my Control Panel would let me copy the entire wp-content folder that was in my development subdirectory into my root directory, overwriting what was there. I was able to do this (wish I had thought of that earlier!), and now my site is working perfectly!! See http://www.lewinsville.org.

Thank you for all your help throughout the night! What a nightmare … and how wonderful to have all resolved now! Many many thanks for your thoughtful help.

Okay on Filezilla.

On the menu issue…. I went to Appearance ->Menus and the locations tab. In this theme, I have two menus and there are two locations — header and footer. The header menu is assigned to the header location and the footer menu is assigned to the footer location. So I think that’s not the issue.

I’m wondering if I could and should re-load the theme. Not sure how to do that….

Yes. When it was time to move my files from the /wp directory to my root directory, I used this copy of my files to upload to the root. The files also still reside in the /wp directory. Did I do this incorrectly? I don’t know how to move files up in Filezilla, only how to upload or download from one page (local) to the other pane (remote).

So I have all the files on my local hard drive.

Yes, I have access to the originals and I have a backup of the entire /wp subdirectory. I uploaded all the files to my root directory from the subdirectory backup I made. Do you think it would be worth trying to upload the wp-content folder again using Filezilla? The process of deleting each image file, re-uploading in wordpress and then reinserting in each page seems quite laborious. I have hundreds of media files!

Here’s a page which should have a full header image directly under the main horizontal menu at the top: http://www.lewinsville.org/how-to-join/ As you can see, only a sliver of the top of the image appears. Here’s another — the header image appears in full, but there’s an image on the left side of the text which does not appear and there’s a pdf document at the bottom of the text which has a broken link. There is also a problem with the theme — the drop down menus on the main menu appear transparent and very hard to read.

I was using Filezilla to upload the wordpress files to the root directory. I noticed that when I put up my default page that the site is down for maintenance, one of the images I uploaded with Filezilla didn’t fully show. Not until I uploaded it with Dreamweaver (which is what I was using for my old html site, did the full image show. Perhaps I have a setting wrong in Filezilla? I’ve not had that problem before.

Thank you again for your persistence with my issues!
