Sweet! It worked. Thanks for the help. Oddly I have a new problem now to sort out. My post titles are wrapping around to the post before them it says things like “posted in Uncatagorized (I’ve specified no catagories yet) Hello World! (title of next post). Weirdness. I think I am going to make a new class to add margin properties to the part of the php that generates the “Posted in such and such catagory bit.” Although, it wasn’t wrapping wierdly like that untill I added the third test post.

Ok sorry, I didn’t know there was a special place for code to be put. Will remember that in the future. Also, Kafaesqui, the <div class=”content margin”> is a container for all posts, no matter what. So thanks for letting me know if belongs above the loop. I”ll read up on that and re-tool it. I thought that I had all of the loop inside it already, so obviously i have some things to learn. Thanks for the tip. Since it belongs above the loop , does that imply that the div ends after the loop does?

~Thank you much

Oh, ok. Great. thanks for the info. ~beckyo1

Thanks for that information Mylagoon. Really helpful! I didn’t find that information anywhere here-yet. I’m assuming that it’s ok to delete functions.php then? If not I’ll save a back up incase it doesnt work. Thanks for the link too.

Hi, This is my first time using wordpress. I realize now that the single.php page controls single posts…but still, can i delete the permalink tag or is that nessicary for the blog to fuction? You didn’t really answer that part….. ~Becky01.

What i mean is, how do i get an image to pop up everytime next to the time and catagory title everytime i post, using these tags:
<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?>

Thanks for the link to hte IE stuff. I debugged my site and now it looks better but on my journal page the footer is still inside the blue middle content box (https://www.runjeeta.com/word) This is contrary to the way the rest of my site looks (or the part that i’ve updated). I dont know why my code would work differently just because it has wp php in it. grr

anymore help on this particular issue would be fabulus.
ps. ronnieruff, thanks for that enlightening comment ??

Just to update, I have fixed the problems with what my text was looking like. But, i’m still having problems with my footer in IE. Please look up two posts, for my orginal entry on the footer problem. thanks!

please ignore the strong tags you see. they aren’t part of my coding, i was trying to make MY tempate code stick out better adn then the post edit thing expired before i could fix it….

Hi, Thanks for the help eston. Now the contentpaine/blue border wraps around all the text in IE. however, this has spawned another problem. My footer appears in IE, inside the blue bordered area now. https://www.runjeeta.com/word. It’s fine in fire fox and others, but wrong in IE… I’m pasting my code here…its my index… I used a <div style= “clear:both”> </div> to pull the white background of the body down all the way down. I can’t seem to move this divstyle anywhere in the code to make it work right. Even moving it to the footer doesn’t help. The code for the index page is below. My coding is at the bottom of it.
<?php get_header();?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_date(”,'<h2>’,'</h2>’); ?>
<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<a>” rel=”bookmark”>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php _e(“Filed under:”); ?>
<?php the_category(‘,’) ?> —
<?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?>
<?php edit_post_link(__(‘Edit This’)); ?>
<?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php posts_nav_link(‘ — ‘, __(‘« Previous Page’), __(‘Next Page »’)); ?>
<strong>
</span>
<br/>
<span class=”frontpage”></span></div>
<!– InstanceEndEditable –>
<p class=”contentpane2″><span class=”randomcolortext”>{search}</span>
<br/>
<IMG class=”imageright” alt=”howl”
src=”https://www.runjeeta.com/images/howl1.jpg”/&gt;

<div style=”clear: left”></div>
</strong>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Also, is it wrong to have span tags in this code? It was for formatting my text, although it seems to not work on my word tempate yet. I have an idea of how to fix it though. I would rather get my footer straightened out first..

Thanks for helping. Becky01 ps. I don’t know why some of this message is in bold…

Hi! Thanks for the great advice. I think you are right about the css linking. This was a dry run for my site, but the template I’m making for my client is going to be different. But I agree with you. When I make his, I’ll use the style.css sheet in the folder.
Thanks.

Sweet success! Thanks for helping me. I guess I tried to “fix” it so much that I got confused. Also, i think trying to use relative paths weren’t so great. It totally works now. My next issue is to get my blue content border in the middle to wrap around all the text. ??

I’m sorry! My blog is set up at https://www.runjeeta.com/word. I can’t believe i forgot to say the URL for the WP installation. sorry

I ment style.css. I always try to remember to do these things in lowercase. I’ll take another look at the commented section, but I dont understand why the comments matter, on a functionality level.
