thanks for your continued attention.

– I have not tried reuploading/reinstalling as that might put me back in modifications (though I haven’t touched core, I sadly did not keep track of weird, off-hand alterations I might have made to the files I brought into my theme from core..not many, but you see what i mean). Seems drastic, but might be the only option at this point. Though i need to wait for that to happen at the moment.

– I installed WP manually.

– Deactivated all the plugins (even the buddypress template pack, which didn’t have any effect) and the problem still remains
