    Ok, that half-worked? The post I have in draft, titled The Return, now shows its image. But my About Page image still is not showing up. That page is already published, fyi. The image is in my Media Library.

    And thank you for the swift response!

    Actually, after refreshing and add wp-login to the site URL I was able to access my dashboard. So now I can change the theme. Or can I reinstall that one? Maybe it got corrupted?

    I added “-old” to my theme (tempera) folder. Now, instead of the error message, I get a white blank screen. Do I need to delete all the theme folders except 2015? Is that what you meant by “remove”?

    Thank you for the speedy answer. I can access my site through the mobile site. Can I make this change through the mobile dashboard?

    I was actually able to deactivate the Firewall plugin tonight, which enabled me to deactivate all the others. I’ll now go through the process of reactivating and seeing when an error pops up.

    I’m a little confused by the page you sent me to. The section about Firewall plugins refers to two – one of which the page doesn’t load. The other is WordPress Firewall. I had been using WP Firewall 2. Same name, just v. 2. Not the same plugin? A little confusing.

    Also, when I search from within my dashboard, this plugin, WP Firewall, by SEO Egghead, does not come up in the list. The top three are OSE Firewall (v. 1.0.2, 5 stars but only 6 ratings), 6 Scan Security (v. 3.0.1, 4 stars from 54 ratings), and WP WAF (v. 1.0, 5 stars from 4 ratings, not tested w/ WP 3.5 — is this the one referred to on the page in the link?)

    I definitely would choose the 6 Scan plugin from those stats, esp. since it’s been downloaded over 35k times. Is there any reason I shouldn’t use this plugin for my firewall?

    Thank you for your help.

    Ok, I might have found the right folder. I’ve shut off the cache plugin. But then what? Is this when I turn on the plugins, one by one? Won’t they not work, because I’ve renamed the folder? Sorry, but I don’t have a deep understanding of this part of this.

    Thank you, kmessinger. I hadn’t thought to go to my theme support, since this was a WP issue.

    I didn’t know that was an old plugin. Is there a popular, current firewall plugin?

    I’m afraid I don’t know what you mean by going to ‘the cache plugin’ to turn it off – by it, you mean the firewall plugin? Or do you mean the caching plugin – I have WP Super Cache. Ok, I think that’s what you mean. So I’ll shut off WP Super Cache, then figure out renaming a folder…

    That’s right, I’m not a coder, designer, or anything like that. Just feeling my way around here.

    I appreciate your help.

    One of the first things the Troubleshooting Master List tells me to do is to deactivate all my plugins. My problem is last time I tried to deactivate a plugin, I couldn’t.

    When I tried to deactivate a plugin this week, it got blocked by the firewall (WP Firewall 2, v. 1.3). So I tried to deactivate the firewall (whitelisting the page in the Firewall Alert did not work) and it won’t deactivate. Hitting Deactivate takes me to my homepage. Hitting settings reloads the Installed Plugin page. I’m now thinking of renaming the firewall Chucky.

    So I need to figure out how to deactivate my plugins when my firewall won’t let me and I can’t shut the firewall off.

    By the way, today when I try to Save a draft or see a Preview, I got a page that says ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ and a link to Please try again. I’ve never seen this message before. They could at least give me the opportunity to click something that says Yes! But no. I just can’t continue with my blog post at all. I don’t know if this is related to the rest of my issues.

    Thank you for telling me what my error was. The troubleshooting page doesn’t actually say that the problem with the Add Media button is a javascript error. So I had no way of knowing what was wrong.

    I’m having the same problem. Is the only solution to change themes? Right now I just want to finish a post. But I can’t add an image no matter what I do. I don’t have time to be messing around with theme changes.

    This is really, really annoying. Upgrading is supposed to be an improvement, not break buttons.

    Thank you for that critical bit of information. Never edit the admin files! Check!

    So it sounds like I did it right. We’ll see if it actually works…

    Mission accomplished, I think, but I have a question: what’s the difference between header.php and header-admin.php? And if I want to track my About page, is there a separate page to insert the tracking code? Or does the header hit every page? (that’s right, not a coder, or anything like that)

    thanks!

    Thank you for your responses! I never got any notice that I had received responses, so I just checked here wondering about that. Must be a setting.

    Anyway, I don’t know much about coding, so the second answer is a little beyond me – wouldn’t know “inline javascript” if it hit me in the face – so I’m going to follow the advice of the first response! Sounds easy enough. If I have problems, I’ll be back!

    Thanks!

    If I understand you correctly, the content of the plugin is basically there. Regarding the ‘About’ widget, my avatar is there, but I have not entered text yet. The widget comes with options to show the icons for Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter. MySpace stays in the widget even when I unclick the box for that option, and when I return to the configuration page of the widget, its box is clicked again.

    The Search box, which I had tried last night to move from the header’s right side (at the top of the header), is now in TWO places: still on the right side of the header, but at the bottom, and in the left column (where I had tried to get it to move to).

    I also removed a widget tonight, and the page will not reflect that. The widget remains on the page. I’m F5-ing the page to death, with no change.

    So, my problem is not the content showing up, but my changes being reflected on my page.

    Okay, so the “?>” is out — or you mean all those lines that are missing were omitted? Or both?

    Thanks for the fast response!
