And there you have it.
I just don’t know.
I woke up this morning, opened WordPress
and all my pretty pages have been reformatted, some information disappearing, poof!
Honestly, I am disheartened.
And I don’t know what to do.
Obviously what I had envisioned here is not going to happen.
I need some time to rethink.
I know I’m a few days late, but I wasn’t able to get your new posts for some reason (maybe this caused that). I thought you hadn’t posted this week. What I’ve started doing is, whenever a page is done, or done for now, I right click, print, save as pdf. If need be they can be posted as-is, and at least nothing gets lost that way.
Posts were delivered as far as I know. I’m just going with the flow at this point.
Boggles the mind, for sure. …hats off to you! I don’t know how you do it! ……and you do…
Wow!
ugh … just ugh …
I will say that I used to spend a lot of time on formatting … changing picture sizes and column widths and left/center/right alignments … until I realized everything displayed differently depending on the device … and gave up on composing, just focused on getting the words and the pictures down, letting the content speak for itself
not a very satisfying solution, but perhaps angst-avoidant
lost content, on the other hand … that’s serious stuff … sigh … good luck
yeah, learning that.
On further examination, the content is there, just a bit jumbled, so much for trying to be clear, oh ha.
So incredibly frustrating…wishing you wake up tomorrow to a reworked plug in.
Ok, let’s think like that.🙃
Been there. Fed lots of energy into the WP monster. Spent the last 12 months pulling myself up out of a very nasty black place. Please take care. Use something simpler and easier on yourself.
eeek you are scaring me. 🤓
Heartbreaking to find all the work changed! I admire you so, for all you do….Maybe an adult beverage ?
I will wait till after lunch
( ( ( jude ) ) ) whatta rollercoaster learning curve!
or a see saw…
🤦♀️
Wow, so sorry to hear this Jude. You aren’t alone. We use WP for our biz and my husband has gone round and round with them. He says they keep trying to modernize and update but really it just creates “a lot of crap”. Apparently the plugins are always a problem.
I’ve often thought these tech people are simply creating job security for themselves. It’s beyond frustrating.
Whatever you decide to do that works best for you is probably fine and we can follow along wherever, however. ☮️💜
just going…
i don’t know what to say.
We expect a lot.
At least we have been able to see what you have envisioned. And to be honest, tho it is Grand, i am just as happy with the old Spirit Cloth
Way. It was always so Much and continues to be enough.
Love and Love,
Things we imagine don’t always work.
Why I still live in a tin house
And then peace.
Gosh I hate WordPress and all those plug-ins. I tried using them and wanted to hang myself. You’re a better woman than I!
I wish you a calm day with the computer genies at your side, helping you fix the problem. Maybe take your lap top outside, at least you will be in the sunshine, maybe the rays will go right into the computer and fix everything!
Sending calming gentle hugs your way.
Well that really blows. Is the site a WP .org or .com site? Guessing .org.
That one confuses me. I hesitated switching to it because of that.
Hope WP can give you the help you need and get it all working smoothly.
yeah, it’ll be a forever battle, now I am laughing at least.
Dear Jude, please consult the wordpress-helpers:
help@wordpress.com
they exist just to help you and us all. We are not victims of these glitches 🙂 reach out!
did that. I am on with them all day. believe me.
Oh, my sad heart reaches out toward you.
take care of yourself.
Dear Jude, please ask for help from the angels at help@wordpress.com
They are very well educated for assistance. I have used them frequently.
Well, crap. I feel done and the day just started. Going to clear the basement for the plumber’s return…
Hey ho.
washer still not working.
Those pesky internet moths. Yes just sit and sew for a while in the sunshine hopefully.
Oh, dear. How frustrating. For me it’s truly a love/hate relationship where computers are concerned. My grandmother would probably have called them the work of the devil and there are times I would agree with her. More power to you for sticking to it.
So sad. Hoping for some magic. I agree with everyone else about keeping yourself nurtured and balanced. It it your creativity we love, It is like you are writing a complex multi-layered interactive book and when it works it is masterful. But as you often say, simple is good. Wish you could get some tech wizard to set it up for you, but I am ignorant of the whole process so maybe it’s not possible…
Sad to learn of yet another challenge for you. Hopefully today will give you plenty of time for outside and for stitching. Whatever you are able to send is always just fantastic for me 😊💖💖
This is definitely a “oh fuck it” moment.
I’m with everyone else…so sorry Jude. You put so much effort and love into sharing with us, and this is how you’re repaid.
Sending a huge hug and love over to you. xxxx
I’m off to Google “why is there no sound when I plug in my earphones?”.
Been quoting Gilda Radner way too often “ITS ALWYS SOMETHING!!!”. AND I’m joining in with thanks for all you do Jude❤️
So sorry.
Oh, no, Jude, all the time you put into it…..
Love to you.💖
What a nightmare!!!!
Seems sooo much time and energy goes into computer/ tech work.
So sorry Jude.
For me, really, just daily little steps of your clothwork are enjoyable. The simple life….. like the olden days :-).
Cant say it often enough:
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO !
Hope you find time to go outside and just be.
Peace
I agree, simple.
Well shit! Plug-ins cause so much vulnerability and the exploits of cyber security are so disheartening with all your effort for a full, smooth design. Hoping a backup or glitch that allows recovery. You are trying so hard to give us this beautiful place and feels so heavy on you. I’d rather you just be stitching or breathing fresh air. You truly need a rest, a long rest. We’ll all be here no mater what, where, or even if. Please take care of yourself. Hugs 😘
ARRRRRRGGGHHH‼️
Where the F***is my magic wand!!??
I hate technology.
Deep breathing is in order.
(While trying not to hyperventilate)
It seems to be a DAILY exercise these days…
AAAAARRRGH!!!!!🤬😤😱😡😭
Oh so sorry!!!!!!!! (off to check the web site that I admin! EEK)
So frustrating. If it’s any comfort, you are not alone. I am off to spend my day solving problems…and thankful for the problems I have to solve, or least to be able to keep trying.
Remember when they told us computers were going to make life easier? Ha. I still use pen and paper to write my grocery list and jot down phone numbers. Sigh.
I think I will rethink book.
I trust them more…books that is.
Yeah
I just barely started using Instagram, and yesterday I posted a second post, and my first post disappeared….totally gone. I googled, people said “Oh, it will often come back…..just wait.” And in short order it was back, and both posts were there. Maybe the same will happen for you here?
who knows really…
Darn 😟
I’d rather be just sewing
It has got to be so frustrating! I know when I have to wait for my vision to be actualized it can be excruciating. Feel free and let go and let God. Just remember your gifts are numerous and you have brought such joy, knowledge, and beauty into the world. Sending a gentle hug.
And who can blame you dear Jude . I really don’t know how you manage to carry on with all this tech bullshit ,one headache after another, bad luck .But am so GRATEFUL that you do , and I still have this joyous tribe to be part of.Thank you xxxx
bullshit is everywhere, I guess we just deal with it. Or not, At least we know it is true for everyone.
omg, these things really make my skin crawl….and curse f***aroo
good luck with plugging back in, always something!
it’s the nightmare waiting to happen.
always.
form is temporary and we are so dependent on thinking it isn’t
“Hmmmm” and a “sigh”❣️
Sorry to hear… hope things clear up for you. 💙
It’s getting a bit tired, don’tcha think?
Oh crap, really? Every once in a blue moon I have to uninstall and then reinstall, which is a pain because you need some 16 digit code. Still, might be worth a try.
It’s a plug in issue, my mind is exploding.
Yeah I get it which is to say I stopped listening at “plug in.”
Excuse my French, but I’m fucked.
