Thanks, this helped. I must have changed uncategorised to jokes which would explain the problem, and have now created a default category (named as Default).

However I am now stuck with 2 front pages – one called Home and another called Default, and only want the one Home page.

Obviously I want to turn the clock back and reinstate Uncategorized – is there any way to do that?

NB How do I find /wpadmin/options-writing.php? Do I need to go into mySQL or something?

Sorry for being so ignorant & thanks for help,

No plugins activated at all; cannot find add_filter in the code, though admittedly there is alot of code to look through. What do I do with it if I find it?

I took the code out and posted a new one (test 5 Sept 2010). It appears in both jokes and front page with or without the jokes category ticked.

The Category tickbox for Jokes in Edit Post doesn’t seem to work – every time I untick it and update, it just automatically ticks it again. I think this may be root cause of my problem.

Sorry for confusion vtxyzzy.

Every time I add a new post intended for the front page now it only appears in the Jokes section, even though the Jokes category box is not ticked when I do it. If you look at last 3 items in jokes section they are all test posts meant for the front page that don’t appear there.

Thanks for ongoing advice, much apprec.

Thanks ,that sort of worked. It got the jokes onto the jokes section & away from the front page. Trouble is, when I try to post regular (ie non-joke) items on the front page it still puts them in the Jokes section.

Do I have to take out the index.php code you kindly provided every time I want to make a front page post? seems a bit weird….

Thx for all your help,

TC

Thanks for reply. Trouble is I don’t want the jokes to appear on the front page as well (as the test one does at present under ‘latest story’). I want them to appear only when you clink the jokes link. Any ideas?

Thanks for quick response.

Hi,

Uploaded it using FTP, worked OK then. Thanks.
