I noticed a new pattern with the problem. When ever I upload a file and use it in the same associated new post, it seems to work with the post-image pluggin, and the image displays in the post excerpt.

Now when I try to use an image that has been previously uploaded for another post. The image inside the post doesn’t show up in the post excerpt.

I am getting ready to downgrade to an older version of wordpress to see how it handles. I am clueless at this point, so if there are any ideas or suggestions that may help, please chime in.

Thanks,

My post-image pluggin suddenly stopped pulling an image from the article for the excerpt, and now it is only showing the default image. I tried taking away the option for displaying the default, and it still didn’t pull an image from a post.

I’m baffled on this one once again, especially since I found a working solution before. I am near tempted to re-install WordPress… I was hoping to avoid this, but I don’t know what else to do. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

OK, I did another test by uploading a file on my design server which was a shared server(operating on the same version of wordpress), and I noticed that as soon as I upload a jpg a thumbnail of the image is automatically created in the uploads folder, even before viewing a page utilizing the Post Image Pluggin. Not sure if this is something that the Post Image Pluggin does or if it is standard to the WP core, but just more info to consider.

As I have mentioned, my dedicated server does not seem to be creating a thumb file. So I manually created a thumb for an associated post and added the “thumbnail” sub-extension, i.e., changing “imagename.jpg” to “imagename.thumbnail.jpg”. This test did not show the thumb image on the post preview/excerpt page.

I am still jabbing away at this one, so any ideas or suggestions would be great.

Moshu,

My goodness. That was it, wow, I am learning something new every day here. Again, thank you so much, you have been so helpful through out my project 🙂

Do you have any idea on the permissions issue? That is something that is a bit strange to me, i.e., not being able to edit pluggin within WP.

I will do a search on “Unix Line Breaks,” for I want to know what this is all about. I did not know what to search before, so I was shooting into space.

Thanks again,
Orion

I want to give this a bump… I am hoping someone will have an idea.

Thanks,

Hey moshu,

Thanks, I checked out instinct before, and was considering them, but after searching the forums, I found many WP users to be running into issues.

I am not sure if this was mostly from older versions, and if they were able to resolve the associated issues/bugs.

If they are stable, for I don’t have to worry to much about losing our database, then this is something that I would consider.

Otherwise, I am leaning towards Zen Cart. I may give it a trial, hoping that the includes (for headers, footers, and etc) aren’t to difficult to work with.

I also was fairly attracted to… http://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/design.asp

For their e-commerce templates look fairly easy to work with.

Anymore thoughts or ideas from the community are welcomed.

Thanks,
Orion

Hey Community,
I was able to resolve the issue. The CSS was actaully being inherihited differently in IE then it was in Firefox. So I had to change some of my other pages that were using a similar CSS. With the modifcations we were able to get the text to wrap in IE 6.

Also, thanks for the heads up on the validation issue. We took care of the Meta problem and included the appropriate script to at least validate that issue. The others we will have to put on hold for now.

Thank you so much for getting the gears turning.

All the Best,
Orion
