It probably depends on your screen size, where you put it on your site – you could possible “force” size or display with some custom CSS – That’s Sakin’s expertise 🙂

Post the link to your site and I’ll wonder by – I can at least tell you if it’s a screen size thing. I know on my site, I get about 4 to 6 pictures of the “latest posters”

Jetpack has approx 10 or so plugins within Jetpack. (You can turn them off or on as you wish) One of them is the “Facebook Like Box” Jetpack is actually a project that is part of WordPress. COM. Most of their stuff in Jetpack works perfectly fine in a stand alone WordPress site. All you need is your sign-up ID with WordPress.com and download the Jetpack plug-in. I don’t use them all – but some are very worth while. “Facebook Like Box” is one of those.

I use the Jetpack “Facebook Like Box” with the Streaming option checked. This shows your facebook page and streams latest posts as well as the latest poster (their picture)

You’re welcome. Glad it worked for you 🙂

Assuming you are not trying to upload multiple files at this point – this error occurred with the one file you tried to upload?? right?

I think you may have a permission problem on your upload directory on your server. At least I’d start there.

wp-content/uploads/2012/12

Here is a good link on file and directory permissions.

@sakin – My pleasure 🙂 and thanks for the great themes you make. Any small support I can give at this time is my way of contributing back to your users and your theme community.

Hi Yorgo:

I use “Facebook Like Box” – just do a search in your Dashboard >Plugin menu > new plugins. I use this plugin because you can use it in a page or as a widget in the sidebar. Small downside to these types of plugins – There is code on my server that requests data from Facebook and then displays on my page (Some times even Facebook servers can be slow – wait for the plugin to display Facebook data)

Re your Mac – sorry, although I have an IPAD, I’m not an Apple guy.

Ron

All I can say is it works on my IPAD. Possibly you have some of your security settings on your MacPro set at a higher level.

No matter though – there are a “ton” of Facebook integration apps available through the Plugin menu item in your WordPress dashboard. Just go to Plugins>new> and put “Facebook” in the search field. Try out a few until you find the one you like. Most will integrate into your side bar via a widget. Some will place “Facebook” or social links into your posts/pages.

Hi Jose:

I use WP-DBManager to back up my database. It can be configured to automatically backup and email you your database on a regular schedule.

Wehn I get my email from WP-DB it reminds me to go in and FTP my WordPress files down to my PC Harddrive.

Just copy all the WordPress files and directories using a good FTP program like Filezillia.

I schedule my back ups monthly. That leaves me a big vulnerable if I’ve written a lot of posts, but for the most part, I find it works for me.

Hi There:

Check out my page here: http://www.blazeonline.com/wls/

I run a Facebook feed plugin in my sidebar. Is this something like what you want to do? (most of the things you mentioned can be done with widgets or plugin with “Catch” themes.

@Anusha – are you re-sizing your images before uploading them on your dashboard?

[ronmerk]

Of course 🙂 – completely doable!

Hi Dennis:

IPADs are mobile devices. Responsive themes stick the side panel at the bottom so your main page gets the best display possible.

Ron

[ronmerk]

Thanks Sakin, Jet Pack was exactly the problem!

Ron

[ronmerk]

The CSS code that Sakin gives in his post is correct. Sometimes the Custom CSS field in the theme options can be a little finicky, especially if your version is “public”

Try putting the CSS code all in one line like this:

#main #content ul.post-by {display: none;}

I’ve found on my “free” themes CSS code for each specific instruction all on one line seems to work where is the “proper” syntax code doesn’t.

Ron

[ronmerk]

Checked out your site. It looks fine. What specifically isn’t displaying right?

[ronmerk]

Hi Eric:

Looks like your embedded slide show from Picasa is in “Flash” format which of course all Apple products do not support.

If you want to use embedded objects that will show in Safari based devices, you’ll have to go back to the “source” and see if you can recreate them in NON Flash format.

Hi Anusha:

Back to some basics – You should be re-sizing your images so they are smaller than 2meg. Most servers that host WordPress have 2 meg as a default setting as the largest size image you can upload. In fact try and re-size  by pixel size – something like 800 wide x 450 high would be a good starting point.

You should be using jpg, tif, png or gif for the majority of your image file upload file types.

What kind of computer are you using (PC or Apple)? Have you ever been able to upload an image to you WordPress site?

If not on your WordPress server, where are the images? URLs? Some place like Flickr or Piccsa?? (pretty sure this is why you’re having problems with the slider)

Hi Rich

Suggest you check out wordpress.org for support. Here’s a link to a similar issue from another WordPress user. Possible something here can help you.

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-update-required-after-updated-to-wordpress-35

They also have info on installing or returning to previous versions.

It’s a great reminder for all of us to make sure to back up all wordpress files and database “before” doing an update.

Here are some things that might be useful if the info at wordpress.org doesn’t help:

check to see if you can see your wordpress file structure via ftp.
try renaming your “plugin” directory to something other than “plugin” and then try accessing your wp-admin logon. If this works, you have a corrupted plugin
If all else fails, download the latest copy of wordpress from wordpress.org and upload it via ftp to your site.
contact your hosting company and ask if they have a back-up of your database (do this soon as they usually role over backups on a regular base. If you can get a copy of your database, Source the previous copy of WordPress you know worked and copy files to your server – then install you database on your server via SQL Admin

Not for the faint of heart, but there may be light in there some where. Hopefully some of this info helps out.

Good luck!

Ron

Hi Rich – a quick change over to one of the default WordPress themes that comes with 3.5 will give your answer. Try 2011 or 2012. If postings etc work there, you may have a problem with the theme, but almost always – WordPress updates that result in your situation are usually the result of corruptions of files or the data base during the update.

All my sites have updated fine, but I don’t have the pro version. I’ve seen several problems with the 3.5 update across the WordPress community (not just Catch themes)

– Some simple things to try – shut down your browser and restart (sometimes your browser cache will point to previous pages)

– log off your admin wordpress page and re-logon

Ron
