Hmmm… You stated above that
I copied the “index.php” into my editor and replaced the loop with my text.
Do NOT copy. Just open it, and Save as… e. g. “pink_sovereignity.php” and do NOT change anything else – except pasting your text instead of the loop!
And yes, leave there everything at the top, especially the “wp-blog-header.php” at the end of your directory path !
By looking at the source of your test page it’s obvious that this is not based on the WP index.php file, because your file uses CAPITAL LETTER TAGS, which is not XHTML compliant, so it doesn’t come from WP ??
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
You sholud have something like this from WP:
<?php
/* Don't remove this line. */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<!-- The Vesuvius WordPress Interface 1.20 -->
<head profile="https://gmpg.org/xfn/1">
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" /> <!-- leave this for stats -->
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( <?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-layout.css );
</style>
....[etc]
</head>
<body>
etc...
Try it again, it should work!
If it doesn’t work email me at moshu at transycan dot net.
