What version of WP are you running? ??

I found it a little difficult to understand the nature of your problems.

Do you mean when you make changes to your theme layouts, the layout changes don’t take effect?
Have you checked your code for missing pieces?
Have you tried with a different layout/theme?
How are you uploading the files to your server?
Are the files in the proper locations?
Did the layout/theme(s) you are using ever work? If so, can you go back and compare them to the changed files to see what’s different?

Good luck! ??

Well, without seeing your code, I know that I mostly have CSS problems when I’m using incorrect syntax or missing a brace – a formatting issue. Have you run your CSS through a validation service, or had someone else proof it? Have you tried it on different pages, with the same problem?

@tjaard – thanks for the suggestion, but they actually aren’t working at all. I’m going to try the patch from Mosquito as soon as I figure out how! ??

Thanks for the link.
I’ll admit my stupidity right now: Not sure how to use those files. Are they php pages? Do I upload them into a folder? Or replace some code? If so, on which page?
Thanks again!

You might try posting the relevant portion of your CSS style sheet – then someone might be able to take a look and see if something’s missing. ??

My incoming/outgoing trackbacks are still not working.
I read the long thread on the issue; did I miss the “solution” to the problem? How are the trackback and ping issues resolved?

Thanks!

You might try doing a google search for WP plugins. You can browse and try them and see which ones fit your needs. Good luck.

Here’s how I do it, though it does involve a few extra steps than what you’re talking about.

I use the perpage plugin, which allows me to display lots of posts for custom searches. For example, If I search for posts by month, it will return up to 999 entries. Then I just copy and paste into a new doc, like a Word do. You can copy and paste the comments too. Where-ever you’re pasting, you can set how it displays h1, h2, etc. – I believe the formatting will travel.

Again, it’s not a perfect solution, but it is a low-tech way for the db-challenged [like moi!] to do an archive. HTH!

Would it be possible to alter the code on the front/index page to only get posts for the current month? Not sure what the actual code for that would look like, but it would end up “wiping” the page at the beginning of the month.

Dim spark here too ?? but what I know:

the “li” create the list item nature of whatever you’re getting. Might be creating a bullet point or something on your theme.

each of the things between the ,_,s refers to a particular parameter. Check the codex for info on what to each refers. The values between the ,_,s are the values that you are trying to find/narrow down.

HTH!

Love the 4 column design. I think it would work totally well for a newspaper-ish type site. Great work!

Well, I wouldn’t feel too bad about it, myself. If the worst thing that happens to that person today is they receive 100 delete-able comments telling them to give credit where credit is due… well, it could be worse.

Do you include a clear license with your theme distribution? i.e. the requirements for downloading and using your theme? Maybe that would help solve the problem in the future.

*blushing* Sorry, dumb mistake, I didn’t know the word TEMPLATEPATH was actually part of the code.

The TEMPLATEPATH suggestion worked perfectly. Thanks for the help Kafkaesqui and Alphaoide!!

Thanks for the help. I made the change, changing TEMPLATEPATH to “Letterhead” – the directory where the files are. I get the following errors:

Warning: main(letterhead/post.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/[username]/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/letterhead/index.php on line 6

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'letterhead/post.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/[username]/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/letterhead/index.php on line 6

I’ve also tried deactivating all the plugins from the blog, as well. Same problem. Strange, huh?
