Thanks Handy, I’ll give that a go.

OK, fair enough. But can you enlighten me on what code to use to link to my Archive Page in my sidebar and below each post? (I did look in the codex)

It was another question, I thought was more relevant to the other board. Just looking an archive link at the end of each post.

Oops! Should I have created another page.php by copying the original template and pasting the code in there? If so what should I call the new page template

Yep, me too, 1 comment every 30 mins or so now, very bad

Ok, I read that. Fairly easy to understand, shouldn’t be a problem. In ‘options’ I have ‘show at most 2 posts’ which is fine for the home page but this also then applies to the archive as well. Do you know how or where to make changes so that the archive will list as many posts as you wish. Thanks again.

Thanks Otto, I’ll read that today.

Excellent, I’m at work at the mo, i’ll try it when I get home. Thanks guys.

Okay, would that work? Just copy and amend it, then upload it? Would making a copy of index.php, and calling it archive.php with the changes made work? I just don’t want to really mess up my blog. Thanks for your help

That’s the thing Otto, I don’t have an archive.php or a categories.php. Should I create these files using the code from index.php and make the relevant changes?

Sorry to bump this guys but it got lost a few pages down. Could someone have a look at the code above and maybe let me know how I could have the ‘categories’ and ‘archive’ posts as snippets. I would like the home page and permalinks to show the full-length article. Thanks in advance.

Hi Kafkaesqui, thanks for all your help. I tried that but there is no code like that in my index.php file. I looked for ‘categories’ or ‘archives’ in this file and they are not there either. I also checked out that link and it recommends things that don’t seem to appear on my index.php file. I copied the whole file below so you could see it for yourself. If you have time, maybeyou could look over it. Thanks

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”middle”>
<div id=”content”>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>

<h2>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

<div class=”entry”>

<p><?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> by <?php the_author() ?></p>

<?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’); ?>

</div>

<ul class=”post-data”>
<li class=”comments”>
<?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?>

<li class=”posted”>
Posted in <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?> <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’,”,”); ?>

</div>

<?php comments_template(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<p align=”center”><?php next_posts_link(‘« Previous Entries’) ?> <?php previous_posts_link(‘Next Entries »’) ?></p>

<?php else : ?>

<h2 align=”center”>Not Found</h2>

<p align=”center”>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.</p>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Actually, when I go to theme editor, these are the only files available to edit

* Stylesheet
* Footer
* Comments
* functions.php
* Header
* Main Index Template
* Page Template
* Sidebar

I tried page template but that makes the Pages excerpts. What should I edit?

Thanks guys gonna give that a try now

Thanks very much Trent!
